Ron Thal, alias Bumblefoot, formerly with "the most dangerous band in the world" Guns N' Roses, is visiting Bangladesh on September 15 to take part in Dhaka Rock Fest 2017.

Ron will be taking the stage at Russian Cultural Centre with six talented local artists who will be chosen by the organisers through a contest online.Bumblefoot is by no means the first Guns N' Roses member to perform in Dhaka. In October 2015, Gilby Clarke, former rhythm guitarist of GnR, visited Dhaka for a memorable performance.
