James, Hasan, Warfaze to headline Rock N Rhythm 5.0

Bangladeshi rock band Warfaze and former lead guitarist Oni Hasan will perform together at Rock N Rhythm 5.0: No Limits in the Zone on 23 October at Carnival Arena, Jamuna Future Park, Dhaka, as organisers bring together established acts from the country’s rock and metal scene.

Organised by Adventor Communications, the fifth edition of the concert series will feature a special appearance by Oni alongside Warfaze. He will also perform a separate set featuring songs beyond his repertoire with the band, according to the organisers.

The line-up includes Nagar Baul, led by James, and Ark, fronted by Hasan. Both bands played significant roles in shaping Bangladesh’s rock scene during the 1990s, with their music continuing to draw listeners across generations.

Heavy metal band Aurthohin, rock group Shunno and guitarist AK Rahul will also perform at the event.

Launched in 2022, the Rock N Rhythm series has held four editions so far. The second and third editions took place in 2023, followed by the fourth in 2024.

With its fifth edition, the organisers aim to expand the event and bring established performers together to celebrate Bangladesh’s diverse rock music heritage.
