This show, scheduled for Wednesday at 21:00 hrs, will feature alumni who played music during and after their time at the school. According to the organizers, many renowned artists will perform, marking the first time many of these musicians will share the same stage.

The lineup includes Maizaan Ali Manik, Abdul Rasheed (Absy), Panama Shafeeq, Shammoon Hameed, and Ahmed Atif (Xray Athif).

Ticket prices for the show range from:

1. MVR 300
