Kathmandu: Nepali band Nepathya drew a crowd of 10,000 at the world-famous Wembley Arena in London on Saturday, marking its return to the venue 12 years after its first milestone performance there.
Led by frontman Amrit Gurung, the band performed a setlist that included hits such as Koshiko Pani, Aanganai Bhari, and Rato Ra Chandra Surya, ending with an encore of Himal Chuchure after audience requests. Gurung also shared stories behind the songs and urged young Nepalis abroad to preserve their language and culture.
Fans traveled from across Europe to attend, including a Dutch supporter who had helped Gurung with throat treatment advice years earlier. Organizers BSK Entertainment and Parcha Productions called the event one of the largest indoor gatherings for a Nepali music performance.
Nepathya will continue its European tour with shows in Copenhagen on August 23, Attard on August 27, Lisbon on August 31, and Antwerp on September 3.
