UNFPA and BAMBA are jointly organising the concert.
To inform more about the upcoming concert, a press conference was held at Hotel Sonargaon on wednesday.

The BAMBA president, at the press conference, asked people from all walks of life, specially, the youths, to join the protest concert and voice ‘no’ to all forms of violence against woman at home and work.
He also asked them to put an end to eve-teasing. He further said we would like to convey this message through music.
Aiyub Bachchu said, “A girl, who is either sexually harassed or tortured for dowry or abused in any means, has the right to protest as well, but she does not do so because she knows that she will evidently be treated as the victim by the society.”
Arthur Erken, UNFPA Bangladesh representative, expressed his happiness for having BAMBA associated with the event.
He said, “Every woman has the right to live with dignity. She has the right to live a life free of fear, violence and discrimination.”
He emphasised this issue and said men are are imposing this inhumane practice towards women, so it is our duty to refrain them from doing such and make others, specially the next generation, realise that a real man simply does not commit violence against woman.
On the other hand, renowned singers from BAMBA called upon the women and the girls in the society to be more conscious against the evildoers.
The concert will feature LRB, Nagar Baul, Miles, Warfaze, Feedback, Pentagon, Aurthohin, Prometheus, Artcell, Crypticfate, Black, Nemesis, Powersurge and Beduin.

Alternative rock band Nemesis is working on its second album. The album, “Tritio Jatra”, is scheduled to be released before Eid-ul-Adha. Produced by Deadline Music, the album will contain nine songs including one English number. The songs supposedly deal with contemporary social and political issues.The song “Kobey”, expected to be included in the album, is already quite popular among fans — thanks to live performances. The album has been recorded, mixed and mastered at Bengal Studio. According to the band, the album will be different from the first one, as it has a more mature approach to song writing and composition.
At present, Nemesis is planning to promote the album at their concerts as well as on live television performances.
With straightforward lyrics, Zohad’s easy on the ear voice and Maher’s able guitar playing, Nemesis has firmly established its position in the Bangladeshi rock music scenario.
Nemesis was formed in 1999. After a few changes in the line-up during the initial years, the band started to gain ground within Dhaka’s music circuit with their performances.
“Onneshon”, the debut album of the band was released in 2005. The album instantly earned plaudits with several good numbers. The first album featured a couple of English songs.
The current line-up of the band: Zohad (vocals), Maher Khan (lead guitar), Omayr (guitar), Ratul (bass) and Dio (drums).
