The Sooper Junoon Concert Makes History as The Most Iconic Live Act Ever
Seen in Pakistan!
[December 26th, 2018, Karachi]: On 25th December 2018, 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.
Th 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.
after 13 years when they saw the more than 10,000 in attendance.
Junoon began with a tribute to the Father of the Nation before going on to perform iconic hits such as
'Khudi', 'Sayoonee', 'Saaien' and countless others. The band then came full circle with a beautiful tribute
to Junaid Jamshed in the form of a heartwarming performance of 'Dil Dil Pakistan', #sooperjunoon
