Headliner for Levi’s® Live Session Two Bilal Khan said, "I had a fantastic time playing Levi's Live. I've been playing a lot of shows outside Pakistan so it was refreshing to play a new set in my hometown. I think my main motivation for participating in this initiative by Levi's is to support our budding musicians and the live music culture in Pakistan."
After Bayaan's performance, lead vocalist Asfar Hussain said, "The Levi’s® Live session was quite unlike any gig we've done so far because it paired the demands and pressure of a recorded show with the relaxed atmosphere of an intimate setting with a small but incredibly enthusiastic audience. We played three original songs: “Nahil Milta”, “Farda” were songs that we've already released and “Din Dhalay” is a brand new song and the The Levi’s® Live audience was the first that had a chance to hear it. We hope you like it as much as people at the show did.”
