A 20,000-capacity stadium in Banani that becomes Dhaka's biggest open-air concert ground — home of the Coke Studio Bangla live shows.
The Army Stadium in Banani is owned and run by the Bangladesh Army and is mainly a football ground, but with room for about 20,000 people it is where the city's biggest open-air concerts go.
Coke Studio Bangla held its first live concert here in June 2022 and returned for Live 2.0 on 10 November 2023, with gates opening in the early afternoon for an evening show. Large festivals and headline acts have played the ground over the years.
Big nights here get crowded — reports from Live 2.0 described a ground full past capacity — so arrive early, keep to the marked entries and plan how you will get home.
