Hindustan Times Bangladesh Rock Concert Under Attack: James Flees As Islamist Mob Hurls Bricks, 25 Hurt In Rampage

A rock concert in Faridpur, Bangladesh, descended into chaos on December 26 after a mob stormed the venue, forcing the cancellation of legendary musician James’ live performance. Videos circulating on social media showed chairs, bricks and stones being hurled at the audience, leaving at least 25 people injured. Authorities intervened to prevent further bloodshed, while James—widely regarded as the “Guru of Rock” in Bangladesh—was safely escorted out. The attack has sparked concerns over growing intolerance toward cultural events and artistic freedom, as Bangladesh continues to witness escalating unrest and mob violence since mid-December.
