Mark your calendars, because one of the most talked about names in Pakistani music is about to take the MarbellaFest stage. On 21 and 22 November 2026, HAVI headlines MarbellaFest by Andalusian Banquet, a two day celebration of music, food and shopping at Andalusian Banquet, DHA Phase 8. Presented in collaboration with F and A Events, it is shaping up to be one of the most exciting weekends out this season.
What Is MarbellaFest?
MarbellaFest by Andalusian Banquet is a two day lifestyle and music festival built around four simple promises printed right on the ticket: music, food, shopping and fun. Running across 21 and 22 November 2026 at Andalusian Banquet in DHA Phase 8, and presented in collaboration with F and A Events, the festival blends a live music lineup with food stalls, a shopping bazaar and a relaxed, family friendly atmosphere.
Think of it as a weekend destination rather than a single concert. You can catch live performances, discover local brands and pop up stalls, and eat your way through the evening, all in one place. With supporting partners on board for the experience, MarbellaFest is positioning itself as the kind of open air event the city has been waiting for.
HAVI: The Headline Act Everyone Is Talking About
If you have been anywhere near Pakistani music this year, you already know the name. HAVI, whose real name is Abdurrahman Sajidd, is a singer and songwriter who has quickly become one of the brightest new voices in the country’s indie pop and indie rock scene. His music is built on honest, emotionally driven storytelling and a voice you recognise after a single listen.
The recognition is not just hype. In 2026, Spotify named HAVI its RADAR Pakistan artist for the third quarter, placing him inside the platform’s global program for rising talent. His audience now reaches well beyond Pakistan, with sizable listener bases in Bangladesh, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and the United Arab Emirates. For a festival like MarbellaFest, booking an artist on this kind of trajectory is a real statement of intent.
Why You Should Not Miss HAVI Live
Streaming a song is one thing. Hearing it live, surrounded by a crowd singing every word back, is something else entirely. HAVI has built his following on exactly this kind of connection, the sort of warm, intimate performance that makes a large venue feel personal. A MarbellaFest crowd under the open sky is the perfect setting for it.
Live shows like this also matter for the bigger picture. A packed, energised audience for an independent Pakistani artist shows just how far the local live music culture has come, and how hungry young audiences are for homegrown talent that speaks directly to them. Nights like this are how emerging stars become headliners.
What to Expect Across the Two Days
Here is what MarbellaFest has lined up for visitors:
- Live music headlined by HAVI, alongside the wider festival lineup
- Food stalls and street eats from local favourites
- A shopping bazaar featuring brands, boutiques and pop ups
- A family friendly, open air evening atmosphere across both days
Whether you are coming for the music, the food or a relaxed evening of shopping with friends and family, there is room to make the weekend your own.
