SOOPERJUNOON BIGGEST CONCERT IN PAKISTAN

               MASSIVE CROWD IN SOOPERJUNOON CONCERT

Karachiites were treated to the most awaited concert of the year featuring Pakistan’s biggest Sufi rock band, Junoon. The event - which was organized by leading biscuit brand, Peek Freans Sooper to celebrate Pakistanis' passion for their country on the birth anniversary of Quaid-e-Azam as well as to commemorate nearly 30 years of Junoon’s music - was declared a roaring success as it not only kept the audience singing along to the nostalgic tunes loud and proud, but also proved to be an awe inducing showcase of live effects and animation.

JUNOON CONCERT WAS ALWAYS SUCCESSFULL  WORLDWIDE 

Although there have been countless large-scale concerts throughout Pakistan’s history, a recent lull in the frequency of such events threatened to derail and completely submerge its live entertainment scene. The Sooper Junoon concert proved to be the impetus needed to jumpstart that trend once again.

The event was a star-studded one with popular celebrities such as Wasim Akram, Zohaib Hassan along with an army of other celebrities and personalities in attendance. The much talked-about Ladies Only Pink Circle, which even Ali Azmat acknowledged on-stage as a first, was the crowning glory of the event while other enclosures were packed with people of all ages, all of whom had come together to see Junoon’s reunion after a long halt of 13 years.

With a massive stage set for the Sufi-Rock Kings, the host for the evening, Faizan Haque, kick-started the event with Pakistan’s top DJ, Faisal Baig, whose Classic Rock music set helped build the mood for what was to come later. Following him were four brilliant opening acts, namely Lyari Underground, Khumaariyan, Tamasha and Sounds of Kolachi, every band making its own mark with the audience and leaving them yearning for more.

With the appearance of each live act, the anticipation of the crowd for Junoon's first live act in years grew, eventually getting to a point where it seemed like they just couldn't take any more. However, once Junoon took to the stage, the evening took a turn from absolutely amazing to dream-like spectacular. With an incredible light show that was accompanied by L.E.D graphics and animations playing on three humongous screens which in their entirety spanned more than 200 feet in length, the audience was completely swept away by the entry. " Wow! Look at all these people!" was the band's first words on stage after 13 years when they saw the more than 10,000 in attendance.
