Joining them on stage will be Bangladesh’s rock pioneers Warfaze and contemporary band Level Five, in a concert organised by Stage Co.

It is rather telling of the people when the army has to show up because of how people behave at a concert. “They brought an international band to a mall to perform,” said Sakib, who had attended the concert with high hopes. “It was a total joke. Organisers started taking selfies with the band mid-show, while Jal had to ask 20 times for a light to be turned off.”
