Notes
First edition of the annual Joy Bangla Concert, staged on 7 March to commemorate Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's 1971 speech. Artcell opened the inaugural event and Warfaze also performed. The full 2015 bill was not recoverable from accessible sources — only these two acts are confirmed, so the record under-counts the lineup and the co-billing edges it produces are a floor, not the full set. Free entry, state-adjacent youth platform as organiser: the series is the clearest case in this dataset of rock music being used as national-commemorative programming rather than commercial promotion.
