On the scenic Garden stage Arooj Aftab’s resounding and beautiful singing transported us to the lush rolling hills of Pakistan. Her performance was simply blissful. Delicate melodies stood in contrast with her comedic down to earth stage chat, such as the taut jest, “We are going to play some more sad songs for you now because you are emotionally mature, not burying your feelings in techno and MDMA”. The roses Arooj Aftab had intended to distribute at the end of the performance were mistakenly sent to the wrong stage, but her presence alone felt like a gift.
