ABC Radio takes Foo fans to Bangkok concert

By A Correspondent

Foo Fighters, one of the biggest rock bands in the world, performed in Bangkok, Thailand on August 24 as part of their “Gold and Conrete” concert tour, and a bunch of fans joined the concert, courtesy of a campaign by leading Bangladeshi FM radio station ABC Radio FM 89.2.

ABC Radio was the overseas radio partner for the concert, and held month-long contests tiled “Learn to Fly to Foo Fighters Live in Bangkok” to select five lucky fans to take them on an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Along with the contest winners, ABC Radio members and prominent musicians of the country - Bappa Mazumder, George Lincoln Di Costa, Raef Al Hasan Rafa and Jamshed Chowdhury also flew out to rock out at the show.

Along with ABC Radio, US-Bangla Airlines was a partner of the campaign, along with main concert organisers Jam and Miracle Entertainment.

This is the second time ABC Radio has worked as an overseas radio partner for a rock concert abroad. In February, they also flew out six Guns 'n' Roses fans to Bangkok for their concert.
