The roots of Bangladesh’s band music scene stretch back to the 1970s, emerging from a spirit of rebellion and creativity that followed the Liberation War. Over decades, rock and roll became a defining feature of the nation’s cultural identity, inspiring waves of young musicians to take the stage.

A new reality talent show, “The Cage”, aims to elevate the rock band scene in Bangladesh. Launched to provide a platform for emerging rock bands, the competition is designed to showcase undiscovered musical talent from across the country.
