One of the nation’s leading event organizers, CentreStage, organized Republic of Rock 2024, which attracted music fans from all across Kolkata to witness the thrilling performances of well-known Indian bands Fossils, Lakkhichhara, and Thaikkudam Bridge.

Fossils, a renowned band from Kolkata led by Rupam Islam, captivated the audience with their distinctive blend of hard rock and socially aware themes as the Republic of Rock highlighted the range and depth of Indian rock music. Lakkhichhara then paid tribute to Mohiner Ghoraguli’s legacy with their potent Bangla Rock, which brought Kolkata’s distinct cultural character to life.

Known for their multi-genre combination of rock, classical, folk, and metal, Thaikkudam Bridge captivated the audience with a performance that combined hard-hitting rock with Carnatic and Hindustani components. Everyone in attendance had a fantastic time as their varied sound highlighted India’s musical oneness.

“The Republic of Rock 2024 was more than just a show; it was a celebration of the rich rock history of India and an expression of Kolkata’s lively musical spirit. The audience’s connection to each performance served as further evidence of how popular rock music is in our nation across all age groups. At CentreStage, we constantly work to provide exceptional live musical performances that stand out. “We have a fantastic lineup of concerts in India and overseas in the upcoming months,” said Mr. Sambuddha Dhar, Director of CentreStage.
