LONDON: Legendary Pakistani folk singer Attaullah Khan Esakhelvi is set to perform at the Grand Celebrity Night London 2026 on December 4, in what organisers describe as one of the biggest entertainment events of the year.
The concert will take place at a major venue in East London, bringing Pakistani music and culture to audiences in the UK. Organisers have also pledged to use proceeds from the event to support the construction of a hospital in Pakistan.
The event was announced at a press conference in East London by Tahira Quds, chief organiser of Exhibition House London (EHL), and Chaudhry Muhammad Riaz, president of Global Peace and Harmony. Members of London’s business community, social figures and journalists attended the announcement.
The organisers said proceeds from the concert would contribute towards building an international-standard, 50-bed hospital in a village on the outskirts of Jhelum, Pakistan. The foundation stone is scheduled to be laid in November 2026.
Exhibition House London and Global Peace and Harmony said the event aims to promote Pakistani artists and cultural heritage in the UK while supporting a humanitarian cause.
They urged the Pakistani community and music lovers to attend the concert, describing it as an opportunity to enjoy live entertainment while contributing to a project intended to improve healthcare facilities in Pakistan.
The Grand Celebrity Night London 2026 is scheduled for December 4, with organisers hoping to bring together music, community spirit and charitable giving under one roof.
