A New Year’s Eve music concert was held yesterday at Wunna Theikdi Stadium No 1 and 2 in Nay Pyi Taw to celebrate the New Year and promote peace and tranquillity across the nation. The event attracted both local residents and government employees.

As the day was a public holiday, many attendees, including families of government staff, arrived by car or motorcycle to enjoy the afternoon concert. Rigorous security measures were taken, with personnel conducting thorough inspections at the entrance gates and stationed throughout the venue to ensure safety.

The paths from Gates 1 and 4 to the main stage were illuminated with colourful lights, creating a festive and welcoming atmosphere. Organizers enhanced the celebration by providing photo booths, amusement games, and a children’s playground.

The concert showcased performances by popular local singers, dancers, DJs, and bands, delighting the audience with well-loved songs. Adding to the excitement, a special performance by the Thai group ‘The Gang of Popular Copy Show’ captivated attendees, who sang along enthusiastically.

More than 50 stalls, including food vendors and souvenir shops, were set up to cater to the crowd, creating a lively marketplace. Organizers ensured a clean and orderly environment by providing ample rubbish bins and mobile toilets for the convenience of visitors.

For those planning to join the New Year celebrations, a variety of entertainment programmes are scheduled. On 30 December, events will run from 3:00 pm to 10:00 pm, featuring a traditional Myanmar dance troupe performance at 5:00 pm. On 31 December, the countdown celebration will begin at 5:00 pm and continue until 1:00 am. Admission is free, and free shuttle bus services will operate along three routes to facilitate transportation for festival-goers.
