Junoon announces an album, tour and a song for Kashmiris in 2020

Junoon has been on fire since their reunion in 2018. The band recently played a show in Doha, Qatar, after which their lead guitarist, Salman Ahmed, made a big announcement on his social media.

Salman took to Twitter revealing that the band is all set to release its new album in 2020. Last year, Junoon had released a World Cup anthem and just wrapped up their first international concert in a long time. But it seems the trio has a lot more up its sleeve.

Initially he said, “Brand new Junoon 2020 by August IA”, not clarifying whether it was just a song or an album they aimed to release.

Following this, Salman responded to a Twitter user, adding that the band will in fact be releasing a new album, and also hinted at something bigger.

The lead guitarist confessed to a possible tour, in the process of announcing the new album publically. As the UK based user had asked if Junoon had any plans to visit the region, in response to which Salman said, “After the new album , Junoon 2020, IA!”

The announcements led to further inquiries, after which Salman responded to another user, admitting “In the studio finalising new songs, then tour.”

Salman also just announced that a song on the band’s upcoming album will be dedicated to the struggles of Kashmiris for their right of self-determination.

Seems like a great news for all the Junoonis out there, but what else the new album will offer, only time can tell.
