Singer Asim Azhar announced a special opening act for his upcoming Asim Ali Tour, inviting young performers from Lahore’s Surtaal Music Academy to join him at concerts across Pakistan.
The Surtaal Kids Band will accompany Azhar at three stops on the Pakistan leg of his tour: Faisalabad on November 6, Lahore on November 7 and Islamabad on November 8. The concerts will mark the children’s first public performances on such a major platform.
The announcement came through a collaborative Instagram post featuring Azhar and the academy, in which the young musicians expressed their excitement about performing alongside the singer.
“Surtaal Kids Band is coming to the Asim Ali Tour! 6th Nov | FAISALABAD | 7th | LAHORE | 8th Nov ko | ISLAMABAD with @asimazhar Bhai. See You There!” the academy wrote in its announcement.
In the accompanying video, Azhar is seen sitting among the children as he explains what prompted him to invite them to perform at his concerts. “The kids invited me here with so much love that I thought I should return the gesture by giving them an opportunity to perform as the opening act of my Asim Ali Tour,” he said.
The interaction then turns into a musical moment, with the children performing a rendition of Azhar’s hit song Jo Tu Na Mila to showcase their vocal abilities. The singer also joins them, making the visit even more memorable for the young performers.
