What an intense competition this was, you guys. This season of Pepsi Battle of the Bands oversaw an even split between Pakistanis fan-girling over Xarb’s unique sufi vocals and those who were absolutely smitten by Bayaan’s groovy pop music. So it comes as no surprise when people JUST couldn’t figure out who will become victorious at the end.
The finale had A LOT of action ~
Meesha Shafi surprised us with a theatrical performance, all decked out with a mini masquerade and mimes on set.
Fawad Khan’s drool-worthy number in crisp white shalwar kamiz aur haye mera dil…
Shahi also took to the stage reminiscing with an old number by Vital Signs
And Strings graced the stage with their blockbuster hit “Zinda” from back in the day. (90’s kids would remember)
Anyyyyyyway, *drumroll please* BAYAAN won Pepsi Battle of the Bands last night
oh my God, look at them beaming
There were hugs involved and awww ~
Humble winners thanking the fans like the cuties that they are 💖💖💖

The win not only got them the coveted title but also a cash prize worth 50 lakh rupees and an album contract with Pepsi, concerts across Pakistan and lifetime royalties on their music. BASICALLY, everything a music band dreams of.
