Pepsi Battle of the Bands Season 3 has almost reached its final destination and we are one episode short of finding out who will take the title home.
The final knockout round is between none other than the impressive band Baayan, and the talented Xarb!
However, the final decision regarding who will walk away as the winner is no longer in the hands of the judges, but the audience!
Episode 7 kicked off with the ever-stunning Ayesha Omar and her co-host Ahmad Ali Butt who surprised the audience with a guest performance!
Everyone is a Winner!
Ayesha and Ahmed shared a sweet surprise, even though the winner will be walking away with PKR 5 million, an album deal, concerts across the nation, and lifetime royalties, runnerup will not go empty-handed. They will also take home a whopping PKR 2.5 million and an album deal with Pepsi!
Badnaam is Back!
That’s right! Pepsi Battle of the Bands Season 2 finalists ‘Badnaam’ made their comeback on the stage and set it on fire with their performance on Daastan-e-Faqeer and gave a powerful start to the episode.
