Danish pop-soft rock band Michael Learns To Rock (also known as MLTR) arrived in Kathmandu on Wednesday.

The internationally acclaimed band scheduled to perfom at Tundikhel on Saturday was received by concert organisers at the Tribhuvan International
Airport with Khadas and garlands.

Formed in 1988, the three member band comprises singer-key boardist Jascha Ricther, drummer Kåre Wanscher, and guitarist Mikkel Lentz. The band has sold over 11 million records worldwide, and is very popular in Asia with hits including ‘Sleeping Child’, ’25 Minutes’, ‘Out of the Blue’ and ‘Paint My Love’ from their second album Colours (1993) which sold over 1.1 million records. They will perform their hit numbers to a large Kathmandu crowd that eagerly awaited the arrival of the band since the past many weeks.

The band has produced seven studio albums as well as many live and greatest hits albums, and are currently recording their eighth studio album.

The band will be staying at Radisson Hotel in Lazimpat for the duration of their visit.

This is the second time in a year that Kathmandu is witnessing a concert by internationally acclaimed musicians. Canadian rocker Bryan Adams had performed in February this year. nepalnews.com
