Summary
Hundreds of fans packed the American Dream Mall in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on Friday as Boy Throb welcomed Darshan Magdum to his first in-person performance with the group.
The 22-year-old Indian citizen had never previously appeared live with his three American bandmates, making his newly secured U.S. visa a central reason for the event dubbed “Darshan Day.”
Boy Throb performed “4GETHER,” a song celebrating Magdum’s arrival, with the four members in matching pink velour tracksuits before a crowd of cheering fans known as the Throb Mob.
The concert capped a year in which Magdum remained a virtual member while the very online band built social-media traction with goofy pop songs, amateurish dance moves and surreal videos.
