As announced earlier, the exciting multi artist concert to be held in Islamabad on February 3, going by the name of Mad Decent Block Party (MDBP), will feature artists such as the Grammy award winning DJ Diplo, flanked by Adil Omar, Talal Qureshi. Chrome Sparks, Shamoon Ismail, Zoh, Haider Mustehsan, Valentinon Khan, Mikki Murshed, Osama Com Laude and Lyari Underground.

Now, that’s what we call a stellar line-up!

The highlight of this event would be that a major chunk of the proceeds from the MDBP will go to Sahil.org which is basically a non-profit organisation, that is actively involved in working towards the rights of children in Pakistan, more so for the support of seven-year-old child who was raped and murdered recently in Kasur
