Bangladeshi rock legends Miles brought Perth to life on Saturday, 15 November 2025, delivering a breathtaking concert that seamlessly blended energy, nostalgia, and deep emotion. The performance, part of their much-awaited Australian Legacy Tour, was dedicated to the memory of Shafin Ahmed, the band’s late founding member, legendary vocalist, and bassist whose contribution shaped Bangla rock for generations.
From the moment the doors opened, it was clear that the concert had grown beyond a mere musical event. It became a heartfelt gathering of fans who had grown up with the band’s music—a community united in celebrating both the enduring legacy of Miles and the timeless influence of Shafin Ahmed. Thousands of Bangladeshi, Indian, Pakistani and other South Asian audiences poured into the venue, turning the night into a powerful tribute to one of the subcontinent’s most iconic musicians.
A Defining Moment in the Legacy Tour
Miles’ Australian tour has been widely praised for its electrifying performances and its preservation of the band’s signature blend of Western rock and Bangla melodies. Yet, the Perth show stood out as the emotional peak of the tour. Visual tributes to Shafin, heartfelt speeches from band members, and renditions of some of his most memorable songs created waves of emotion throughout the venue.
The audience erupted as the band performed classics such as “Firiye Dao,” “Chand Tara Surjo,” and “Jala Jala.” Every chorus, every guitar solo, and every pause carried the unmistakable imprint of Shafin’s musical genius.
Community Spirit Behind the Event
The concert was proudly organised by the Indian Society of Western Australia (ISWA), showcasing the strength of cross-cultural support within Australia’s multicultural landscape. Ticket distribution and management were handled with precision, allowing thousands of eager fans to enter smoothly and enjoy a world-class musical evening. Volunteers from within the South Asian community played a significant role in making the event vibrant, warm, and welcoming.
Carrying Shafin’s Legacy Across Continents
As Miles continues touring across Australia, the spirit of Shafin Ahmed remains ever-present. The band has emphasised that every performance on this tour is a continuation of his artistic journey—a journey that redefined Bangladeshi rock music and inspired countless young musicians across the globe.
