Pakistani singer Ali Azmat to rock Muscat on May 1

MUSCAT — Pakistani rock idol Ali Azmat, lead singer of the iconic rock band Junoon, will soon enthral music lovers in Muscat. Vision Entertainment, full service event management agency based in Muscat, will host the singer at a cultural extravaganza on May 1, marking the company’s foray into public events for the first time.

The live concert by Ali Azmat will take place on Thursday, May 1, at City Amphitheatre, Qurum. Vision Entertainment is equipped to deal with clients’ requirements, right from conceptualisation, down to execution, and has the required licence to conduct festivals, concerts, theme events, dinners, fashion shows and trade promotions.

“Vision Entertainment has so far been managing corporate events, but with this musical evening, we hope to make an entry into public events as well,” said Yousuf Ahmed Jaffar, chairman of Vision Entertainment. “This step is in line with our vision to reach out to all communities in Muscat, and to establish ourselves as a well-organised and professional event management company,” he added.

“Music is a universal language, and presenting Ali Azmat will be a very good way to bring communities and cultures together. Bridging cultures is an important way to be successful in a global community,” said Yawar Azfar Khan, creative director of Vision Entertainment.

“We want to establish a long term relationship with the people and communities in Muscat. So we promise to take care of all their entertainment needs, they just need to sit back and relax,” said Yousuf Ahmed Jaffar.

Ali Azmat has the unique distinction of performing on the floor of the United Nations (UN) General Assembly, along with an Indian music band. As lead singer of the band Junoon, Ali fronted the largest rock band in south Asia.

The 10 albums that the band released between 1990 and 2003 sold 20 million copies worldwide. In 1998, Ali and Junoon took Pakistan and India by storm with the hit single Sayonee from their tremendously successful fourth album Azadi released by EMI.

Tickets for the show will be available at Pizza Hut outlets in MBD, Madinat Sultan Qaboos, Qurum, Al Khuwair and Al Khoud, and also from KM Trading, Ruwi.
