Artcell, one of the most popular Bangladeshi rock bands, has been around for 25 years. Marking the 25th anniversary, they have already done a concert tour in Australia and Canada to celebrate their silver jubilee. As part of this, the band will perform in the United States this coming September.
Artcell confirmed this in a social media post. It is known that they will participate in five concerts in America.
Hosted by Full Circle Creative, the band will perform in Indiana (Purdue Uni) on September 7, Virginia on September 22, Los Angeles on September 27, Dallas on October 5, and Houston on October 11.
Revealing the concert dates, Artcell said, "On the occasion of Artcell's 25th anniversary, we have already completed the concert in Australia and Canada and now we are going to America this September."
The band also thinks about the current flood situation in the country. A percentage of the proceeds from the concert will be donated to flood relief. Apart from this, they will also work there to collect funds. The band posted a status that read, “We will donate a percentage of the remuneration we will get from the shows in different states of America to help the flood victims. And we will work with various organisers there to raise funds for flood victims.”

The first song the band composed was “Onno Shomoy”. The song set the standard for all the songs yet to come along the way. The first song released by Artcell was “Odekha Shorgo” which was recorded for the great Azam Khan for a mixed album he was planning on. Their song “Oniket Prantor” is one of the most iconic band songs in the country.
