The atmosphere of a concert is something that cannot be replicated. Even if you see the same band again. Each live show or concert is going to have its own vibe and its own atmosphere. And everyone at the concert is going to experience it differently
Nothing beats the connection between a performer and the audience, and this exists at every single performance. It is, in fact, the essence of the performance itself.
Kuch Khaas has always been exceptional at bringing you some of the most incredible performances the city has seen so far, from Seven Eyes – Live in Islamabad, to the tribute to the late, great Amjad Sabri… we have it all covered !
