Pakistan’s live music scene is having a massive year. From September to December 2026, some of the biggest names in Sufi, qawwali, and classical music are taking the stage — and Media Sniffers is behind every single one of these events. Whether you are in Lahore, Islamabad, or Faisalabad, there is something coming your way.
Here is your complete guide to every upcoming music event in Pakistan for the rest of 2026.
1. Prem Nagar — Rahat Fateh Ali Khan x Abida Parveen
Date: 12 September 2026
Time: 5:00 PM – 10:00 PM
Venue: Pakistan Sports Complex, Islamabad
Organized by: Media Sniffers
This is the biggest event of the year, and it is not even close. Prem Nagar brings two of the greatest voices in the subcontinent onto one stage — Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Abida Parveen.
Rahat Fateh Ali Khan carries on the legendary qawwali tradition of his uncle Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and has become one of the most recognizable voices in Pakistani music. Abida Parveen, on the other hand, is simply one of the greatest Sufi singers alive. Her devotional music has touched audiences across Pakistan, India, and the entire world.
Five hours of live music, from 5 PM to 10 PM, at the Pakistan Sports Complex in Islamabad. If you only go to one concert this year, make it this one.
2. Revival Episode 7 — Javed Bashir x Havi
Date: 19 September 2026
City: Lahore
Presented by: Union Town (Union Town Presents Revival EP 7)
Organized by: Media Sniffers
The Revival Series is one of the most consistent live music events in Pakistan, and Episode 7 brings together Javed Bashir and Havi for what promises to be a very special night in Lahore.
Javed Bashir is known for his incredible vocal range and his ability to move between classical, folk, and contemporary music with ease. Paired with Havi, an exciting voice in the modern Pakistani music scene, this is a concert that bridges the old and the new in the best possible way.
Lahore audiences know exactly what the Revival Series delivers — tight production, intimate atmosphere, and music that is treated with real respect.
3. Noor-e-Maskan — Zain Zohaib
Date: TBA
City: Faisalabad
Organized by: Media Sniffers
The Noor-e-Maskan series is coming to Faisalabad with Zain Zohaib. This is significant because premium live music events rarely make it to Faisalabad, and Media Sniffers is changing that.
Zain Zohaib is a Sufi and classical artist with a loyal fan base, and an evening dedicated entirely to his music in Faisalabad is something the city’s music lovers have been waiting for.
Date to be announced — follow Media Sniffers for the update.
4. Revival — Fareed Ayaz
Date: 21 November 2026
City: Lahore
Organized by: Media Sniffers
Fareed Ayaz is one of the most respected qawwals in Pakistan today. He belongs to a lineage of musicians who have kept the qawwali tradition alive for generations, and every time he performs live, it is a reminder of just how powerful this music can be.
The Revival Series brings him to Lahore on 21 November for a solo evening of qawwali. If you are a fan of classical and devotional music, this is a must-attend.
5. Revival — Fareed Ayaz x Javed Bashir
Date: 28 November 2026
City: Islamabad
Organized by: Media Sniffers
One week after Lahore, the Revival Series moves to Islamabad — and this time Fareed Ayaz is joined by Javed Bashir.
This pairing is genuinely exciting. Fareed Ayaz represents the classical qawwali tradition at its purest. Javed Bashir brings a more contemporary, genre-crossing energy. Together on the same stage in Islamabad, this is going to be one of those nights that people talk about for a long time.
6. Noor-e-Maskan 2 — Fareed Ayaz x Murtaza Qizilbash
Date: 3 December 2026
Venue: TBA
Organized by: Media Sniffers
The year ends with Noor-e-Maskan 2, and it is a fitting close to what has been an extraordinary season. Fareed Ayaz returns, this time alongside Murtaza Qizilbash, for an evening that promises to be deeply spiritual and musically rich.
Murtaza Qizilbash is a well-known name in classical and Sufi music circles, and this collaboration with Fareed Ayaz is a pairing that serious music fans will not want to miss. Venue to be announced — keep an eye on Media Sniffers.
