Qubee organised a concert titled ‘Qubee Junction’ on December 24 at the Bangabandhu International Conference Centre, which can be considered a milestone in the music scenario of Bangladesh. It was an invitation only concert and the tickets were given to 800 lucky Qubee clients who were the first to register online. It was a fusion show where Arnob and friends, Dalchut and LRB performed on stage together, without much prior rehearsal. They were asked by Qubee to be impromptu and feature each others songs.

The show started with the trio singing the patriotic song 'jonmo amar dhonno holo maa go' and ended with the all time hit by Queen, 'we will rock you', also sung by the trio. In between, Arnob played some of his popular tracks like 'shonar moyna', 'tomar jonno', 'shey je boshe achhe', 'hok kolorob' etc, Bappa played 'pori', 'brishty', 'din bari jay', 'chader shohor' etc and finally LRB covered some classics like 'with or without you' by U2, 'smoke on the water' by Deep Purple and 'coming back to life' by Pink Floyd, next to some of their own tracks like 'ferari mon', 'shei tumi' and 'Bangladesh'.

'It's a great initiative by Qubee, and I had a lot of fun having two of my sweet little children Arnob and Bappa with me', said Ayub Bacchu, the living legend, supporting the success of the show with a bit of humour. The event partners for the show were ETV, Radio Foorti and Amadergaan. The show was also streamed live over the internet at junction.qubee.com.bd
