As they say life must go on and what is life without music? The short answer is embracing it will provide solace at a time of great sorrow.
With that in mind, one must commend both Pepsi and Salt Arts for the Pepsi Tour. It was originally supposed to begin from Faisalabad but due to the security situation unraveling across the country earlier this month, the show was postponed. Instead, it began from Islamabad at the PNCA on November 10.
Now the Pepsi Tour, featuring 10 bands, is coming to Karachi and is scheduled to take place on November 17 at the Beach Luxury Hotel (poolside). It will then head to Lahore while dates for Multan and Islamabad are yet to be announced.
Given the fact that all the bands featured on Pepsi Battle of the Bands got a big boost and a national profile, this tour is a great way to showcase emerging bands to fans across multiple cities – outside of a TV show.
It is equally possible that one of your favourite bands, who may not have made it to the final round, will be playing; so watch out for the show. In the meantime, Karachi has welcomed Khumariyaan to the city by buying all the tickets for their live gig tonight that is put together by Salt Arts. Watch out for these live music events. It may not change the darkness that has overtaken the country but it can certainly provide some comfort and dare I say it, fun, even if it is momentary.
