TEHRAN -- The sandy Tamishan beach on the Caspian Sea is scheduled to host Iran’s first outdoor concert since the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979.
The concert will be performed by Niush, an Iranian rock band led by Arash Qahramanlu, on a beach which is located near the towns of Izadshahr and Nur in Mazandaran Province on March 30, producer Amir-Abbas Naderan said in a press release on Monday.
“The band plans to perform a fusion of rock and traditional Iranian music during the concert in order to attract the interest of the modern generation and also to familiarize them with the Persian literature and music,” he added.
Naderan said that since the concert will be held in one of Iran’s major tourist resorts during Noruz, the Iranian New Year celebration which will begin on March 21 this year, the concert is expected to be warmly welcomed.
Numerous outdoor concerts were performed on the beaches of the Caspian Sea, mostly in Ramsar, during the reign of Iran’s last monarch, Mohmmad Reza Pahlavi, before the victory of Islamic Revolution.
