Dhaka, October 10, 2025 — One of Bangladesh’s most celebrated rock bands, Aurthohin, hosted an exclusive Secret Listening Party at the Mercedes-Benz Bangladesh showroom on the Tejgaon–Gulshan Link Road. The private event was part of the promotional campaign for the band’s upcoming album Phoenixer Diary 2, set to release globally on October 17, 2025.
A Celebration of Music and Friendship
The event, held in a lively and joyful atmosphere, was attended by renowned musicians and long-time friends of the band, including Hamin Ahmed and Iqbal Asif Jewel from Miles, Sakib Chowdhury from Cryptic Fate, Alif Alauddin, Kazi Faisal Ahmed, Jibran from Bhoutik, and Ahnaf Salehin, son of Aurthohin’s frontman Bassbaba Sumon.
