Shonar Bangla Circus

Shonar Bangla Circus is a five-member Bangladeshi psychedelic rock band known for its eclectic and boundary-defying musical style. The band does not confine its music within any single genre; their released works incorporate elements of rock, blues, folk, jazz, and metal. The band was formed in 2018 in Dhaka. About a year and a half after its formation, they released their debut album Hyena Express on YouTube in 2020. The album later gained recognition for its conceptual and experimental approach, and introducing a new sound in Bangladeshi rock. The band's founder, lyricist, rhythm guitarist, and vocalist Probor Ripon named the group after a circus troupe he encountered during his childhood. Shonar Bangla Circus has gained popularity through live performances across Bangladesh. Their popularity has also extended beyond Bangladesh, reaching audiences in Kolkata, India. On January 8, 2026, the band released their double album Mahashmashan on streaming platforms. The album consists of 17 tracks and has been described as a conceptual continuation of Hyena Express.
