Pakistani Artists Asim Azhar and AUR Kick Off North American Tour With First Canadian Performances

R&B trio AUR, who last year collaborated with Zayn Malik, and pop singer and actor Azhar will play three dates in Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver, as new Pakistani pop finds an increasingly global audience.

Two major Pakistani artists are performing for the first time in Canada tonight, January 23.

Pop singer Asim Azhar and R&B/hip-hop trio AUR are heading out on three dates across the country. The tour kicks off at Toronto's Danforth Music Hall this evening before heading to Vancouver's Hollywood Theatre on January 26 and Calgary's Bella Concert Hall on January 27. Then they travel south for a series of dates in the U.S, marking the first North American tour for both artists.
