BackstrEAT : Music festival with a cause

Features

The UN Clubs of Ladies’ and Royal College are reviving the BackstrEAT Music Festival to raise funds for the Keerigala Tamil Maha Vidyalaya in Kuruwita, Ratnapura.

Catering to some of the district’s lowest income earners, the school has managed to provide educational opportunities to many underprivileged children living in estate communities since 1927, despite being severely understaffed and having minimal governmental assistance.

Currently, however, they are in dire need of funds, primarily to complete the construction of classroom facilities to accommodate their students.

Bearing this goal in mind, the organizers are proud to present Backstreat 2018: The Revival, a night filled with a delectable array of food and music sensational enough to bring the dead back to life! Featuring the likes of the Lunatics, Coco, Ama, Roonthaka and many more of Sri Lanka's trendiest musicians.

The event will kick off on October 19 at the Ladies’ College grounds from 5:30 p.m onwards. Tickets priced at Rs 800, and are available at Embazzy, Tea Avenue, and the Ladies’ College office.
