It has been 14 years since 1974AD first performed, and the Nepali rock fusion group is performing at the courtyard of the Patan Museum on Saturday to mark the anniversary.

The concert is also made possible because all band members are currently in Kathmandu. Sanjay Shrestha has returned after a year in Australia, where he studied drums and toured with his band, Stupa. Manose Singh has been touring the world for the past two years, with back-to-back concerts with Deva Premal. He is back in Nepal only for March.

"The energy within the band when we are all together is magical," says Sanjay Shrestha, "we wanted to do a concert as much for oursleves as for our fans." The concert on Saturday will re-interpret some of 1974AD's old favourites and will focus on hit ballads.

The venue will also mean that the concert will be more intimate and the acoustic numbers will be unplugged. "This will be different than playing in the stadium," says Nirakar Yakthumba, who is on bass guitar, "Patan Muesum will allow us to share more of ourselves with our audience. We want to get up close and personal."
