To commemorate this extensive silver jubilee milestone, the musical group has finalised arrangements for a special solo concert. The commemorative event has been officially titled ‘Eto Diner Poreo Je’ (Even After All These Days), a conceptual headline designed to evoke nostalgia, showcase historical tracks, and revive long-standing musical memories associated with the band’s quarter-century history.
The celebratory concert is scheduled to take place on Friday, 22 May, at the Hotel InterContinental in the capital city of Dhaka. According to information released by the event organisers, the performance will uniquely feature both the current line-up of active band members as well as several former musicians who were part of the group’s historical formation.

Narrative Performance Concept and Interactive Evening Structure
Members of Nemesis have expressed that reaching the 25-year mark represents a deeply proud achievement for the collective, noting specifically that the continuous support and appreciation of their audience has remained their primary source of inspiration. Consequently, the upcoming concert is structurally designed to present their entire creative journey through a balanced blend of musical performances and direct storytelling.
During the breaks between individual songs, the band members intend to share the specific background stories, inspirations, and behind-the-scenes accounts of how their tracks were originally composed. The setlist itself has been systematically curated to harmonize older, foundational tracks with their more contemporary releases, ensuring a full representation of their discography. Furthermore, the evening will feature musical contributions from selected guest artists who are slated to perform alongside the main act. The event management team has stated that the structural flow of the concert aims to deliver a distinct and memorable evening for the attending spectators.
Historical Overview of Band Formation and Discography
The foundation of the musical group dates back to 1999, when a small collective of young music enthusiasts initiated a collaborative project that formally adopted the permanent moniker ‘Nemesis’ in the year 2000. The rock band achieved widespread national recognition and commercial breakthrough in 2005 following the official release of their highly acclaimed debut studio album, titled ‘Onneshon’. This initial body of work firmly established their specific alternative rock sound within the domestic music market.
Following the success of their debut album, Nemesis consistently solidified their position among the elite tier of Bangladeshi rock music through the regular production of critically acclaimed records. Their subsequent discography includes highly celebrated albums such as ‘Tritio Jatra’, ‘Gonojowar’, and ‘VIP’. Through these successive musical releases, the band successfully built and maintained a loyal, multi-generational listener base, turning their upcoming 25th-anniversary celebration into a highly anticipated event within the urban cultural calendar.
