The event is being described as one of the most important moments for Pakistan’s music and humanitarian community, bringing together fans and artists for a cause that goes beyond entertainment.

The initiative follows a charity cricket match held last month at the Imran Khan Cricket Stadium in Peshawar under the slogan “Khel Se Khidmat.”

Cricket legends including Shahid Afridi, Younis Khan, Babar Azam, and Kamran Akmal took part. The VVIP enclosure, priced at Rs 50,000 per seat, was purchased by KP’s chief minister and cabinet members, with proceeds directed towards flood relief.

According to the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA), at least 101 people have died in Punjab province alone. The disaster, described as the largest in Punjab’s history, has submerged more than 4,700 villages and affected 4.57 million people.

Since June 26, heavy monsoon rains and flash floods have claimed 932 lives, left 1,060 injured, and destroyed or damaged more than 8,238 homes across the country, according to UN data.
