Fights break out at Attaullah Khan Esakhelvi’s concert

In a viral video, a fight can be seen breaking out at Punjab folk singer Attaullah Khan Esakhelvi’s concert in London.

At the event, fans of the ‘Mahiye’ singer could be seen clashing with the security team which led to a brawl breaking out. In a video that was posted on Galaxy Lollywood, Attaullah Khan was seen pausing the song as the fight escalated inside the venue.

Attaullah Khan’s security team in the videos can be seen trying to stop the fight but the chaos further escalated to the point that the event had to be cancelled.

Social media disappointed at the hooliganism displayed at concerts

So far, the singer has not released a statement addressing the chaos that erupted, but this has led to more fans criticising the men for disrupting every other fan’s night with the violent fight. Many commentators under the video called for concert-goers to learn about manners and respect the fact that they weren’t only disrupting the event for the singer, but also ruining every other fan’s night.

This is not the first time we have seen a concert halted because of the bad manners and ethics displayed by men. Several other singers in the past have called out an audience at an event where a group of boys were harassing women and families. Taking to his Instagram stories, the ‘Habibi’ singer said he aims to make his concerts a safe space for families to attend.

“With that being said, the guy I was addressing here did not say anything to me but him and his friends were drinking openly and were making a family very uncomfortable. It is our duty as artists to make sure that the crowd that has come to our show (especially families and females) are safe and comfortable.”

Other than this, back in 2021 Atif Aslam walked off the stage at the Taste Plus Music Festival where fans began displaying rowdy behaviour and were even throwing bottles on the ‘Dil Diya Galaan’ singer at one point. A fan shared the dms she had sent to the singer to apologise for the crass behaviour that was displayed. Atif Aslam had responded saying: “Don’t be sorry. I love Islamabad. Atleast we saved the families from any mishap by stopping the event.”
