Singer Pramod Kharel and his band, Pramod and Parampara, performed at the Nepal Festival in Perth, Australia, on October 10, 2026, drawing thousands of Nepali attendees to an event organised by NRN Perth, the Non-Resident Nepali Association Perth. Cold weather and drizzle did not dampen the audience’s enthusiasm: many people wore Nepali dress and carried the national flag as they gathered for the festival and the live performance.
Music and a strong audience turnout
Kharel and Pramod and Parampara were among the central attractions at the Perth gathering, where the large crowd reflected the event’s draw for Nepalis in the city. The performance brought a familiar Nepali music act to a festival setting and gave attendees an opportunity to come together around music and a shared national identity.
The thousands who attended remained engaged despite the weather. The combination of cold conditions and drizzle could have made an outdoor gathering less comfortable, but the audience’s enthusiasm stayed high throughout the event, according to reports. Many attendees’ choice to wear Nepali dress and carry national flags also made the cultural character of the gathering visible across the crowd.
The event’s atmosphere was shaped both by the live performance and by the audience’s participation. Kharel appeared with his band, Pramod and Parampara, rather than as a solo act, bringing the group to the festival stage. The large turnout made the concert a prominent part of the Perth Nepal Festival and provided a focal point for attendees who had gathered in spite of the unsettled weather.
A festival organised by NRN Perth
NRN Perth organised the Nepal Festival. The association’s full name is the Non-Resident Nepali Association Perth, and the event brought together thousands of Nepali attendees in the Australian city. The festival’s name and the visible display of Nepali dress and flags underscored its connection to Nepali culture and community life in Perth.
For attendees, the gathering offered a shared setting in which music, traditional clothing and national symbols were all part of the occasion. The large audience and its continued enthusiasm in cold and drizzly conditions were notable features of the day. Rather than keeping people away, the weather became part of the setting in which the concert took place, while the crowd’s presence helped sustain the event’s lively atmosphere.
Kharel’s appearance with Pramod and Parampara gave the festival a headline musical performance, while NRN Perth’s organisation brought the gathering together under the Nepal Festival banner. The event’s combination of a Nepali singer and band, a substantial audience and visible expressions of cultural identity made it a significant community occasion in Perth on October 10.
