Of course, the phenomenon of sexual harassment at music concerts is far from confined to Pakistan. In February 2016, a video of Spanish singer Alejandro Sanz interrupting one of his gigs in Mexico in order to confront a man assaulting a woman in the front row went viral.

Closer to home, more than 300 sexual assaults and 52 rapes were reported as taking place in London’s clubs, bars and pubs in 2015/16. Campaign groups such as Girls Against and Safe Gigs for Women are trying to change the culture of sexual harassment at music events from the ground up, while indie bands including The 1975, Best Coast and Slaves have spoken out against gender violence at gigs.
