Notes

Fifth edition. Reported running order opened with Chattogram's Bay of Bengal performing 'Maa Goo Vabna Keno', followed by Shunno ('Joy Bangla Banglar Joy'), then Lalon and Arbovirus, with Artcell closing. The opening slot going to a Chattogram act is the first documented instance in this catalogue of the series reaching outside the Dhaka band circuit — five years before the festival itself moved to Chattogram.
