Saby said: “Pakistan is opening up to international talent and bringing in new famous DJs, rappers and singers like Valentino Khan, Diplo and Mika Singh.

“Back in 2006 Bryan Adams performed to a sell-out crowd in Karachi, and I’ve made it my mission to take huge dance and entertainments names to Pakistan.

“I get many emails from people in Pakistan who are looking to the West for live music and events.

“Security has improved since Imran Khan has come to power and people are feeling happy that the country is opening up to international music names.”

“This event will raise awareness of peace in South Asia and social problems facing both India and Pakistan like poverty, domestic violence and women rights.”
