If you live in Islamabad, then you already know that Diplo was in the city this weekend. And if you didn’t already know… really?
Pakistan has that high grade 🔥

In case you didn’t know *sigh*, Diplo is an American DJ, record producer, and one-third the talent behind Major Lazer.
You might have heard “Lean on” recently (it’s only been played 1.17 billion times on YouTube)
Yesterday, Diplo took over Islamabad and lit it up (probably for the first time…sorry Islamabad but you know it’s true).

He did his research well and even played “Amplifier”

And of course, he played “Lean On”.
Why wouldn’t he?

And the crowd absolutely loved it

And if you’re not already a fan of Diplo…
#mancrush
You have to respect Diplo because the guy didn’t just fly in, do his show and leave.
He actually went around the city to see the sights. If you were following him on Snapchat, you’d have seen him
He made sure to have some lassi
Max points for cultural awareness and integration
Met some fans in the city
Of course, he went to Hot Spot as well.
Hot Spot probably won’t be spending money on advertising for a while after this.
And he was particularly intrigued by one picture
But let’s not forget our local boys, Adil Omar and Talal Qureshi.
Huge shoutout to them for making this happen. Also, follow their music if you’re not doing so already.
