A surprise performance by Zulfiqar ‘Xulfi’ Jabbar Khan left the crowd reeling, and everybody sang along as he performed his hit song Laree Chooti. And then Ali Sethi took the stage and performed a couple of his own songs before finally performing the track everyone had been waiting for: Pasoori. Alongside Shae Gill, the two performed the song twice, the second time with all the other musicians on stage with them.
