A song with more than a billion YouTube views is about to be sung live on Coral Springs Drive. Shae Gill, the Lahore singer who shared the vocals on Pasoori, plays the Coral Springs Center for the Arts on Saturday, Oct. 24, at 8 p.m., on a double bill with the Raga Boyz, three brothers who trace their family's music back nine generations. The front of the house is already gone: the venue lists orchestra rows A through D as sold out.

For a suburban theater whose season this fall also includes a stunt dog show, an Irish dance Christmas revue and a Billy Joel and Elton John tribute, this is a genuinely unusual booking. It is the kind of night many Broward residents will only hear about once the good seats are gone, which is why it is worth knowing about now.

Why Pasoori is the song people know

If the title does not ring a bell, the melody might. Pasoori was released in early 2022 as part of Season 14 of Coke Studio Pakistan, the long-running music series, as a duet between Ali Sethi and Shae Gill. It traveled well past its home audience. The song turned up in the Disney+ series Ms. Marvel, and Spotify's newsroom reported that it was the most-streamed Pakistani song on the platform in Pakistan for 2022.

The bigger milestone came later. Coca-Cola Pakistan, the company behind Coke Studio, says the Pasoori video has now passed one billion views on YouTube, and that it is the first music video made in Pakistan to get there. That is a rare number for any song,, and rarer still for a song by an artist who was posting covers online only a few years earlier.

Gill's route to that moment is part of the appeal. According to Spotify, she started out in 2019 by posting cover songs on Instagram, and Pasoori turned a singer with a phone and a following into a voice heard around the world. Later in 2022 she released Sukoon with the duo Hassan and Roshaan, and Spotify named her its ambassador for Pakistan in a program that promotes women in music.

Who the Raga Boyz are

The other half of the bill is, in some ways, the deeper story. The Raga Boyz are Wali Hamid Ali Khan, Inam Ali Khan and Nayab Ali Khan, brothers and sons of the Pakistani classical singer Ustad Hamid Ali Khan. The band's own biography places them in the ninth generation of the Patiala Gharana, a family lineage of classical vocalists, and the Center describes the tradition they carry as more than 200 years old.

What makes them a fun live act is that they refuse to stay in one lane. The band describes its range as running from ragas to rock and from Sufi music to heavy metal, with folk and fusion in between. They say they have played Wembley Arena in London and Radio City Music Hall in New York and have performed in about 18 countries. Their family, by the band's account, holds five national awards in Pakistan and two Sitara-e-Imtiaz honors, one of the country's civilian distinctions.

Put the two acts side by side and the night covers a lot of ground: centuries of classical training on one side, a streaming-era hit on the other. The promoter bills it as the Generation Tour 2026, which is a fair name for the pairing.

The details, if you want to go

  • When: Saturday, Oct. 24, 2026. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m.
  • Where: Coral Springs Center for the Arts, 2855 Coral Springs Drive, Coral Springs.
  • Tickets: Orchestra rows A through D are sold out. Row E is $150, row F is $100, rows G through K are $70, rows L through V are $50 and the mezzanine is $30. A $6 facility fee and service fees are added on top.
  • Presented by: TA Entertainment and Productions, with the evening hosted by Hadi.
  • Box office: (954) 344-5990, open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and two hours before most performances.

Two practical notes before you buy. The Center says all ticket sales are final, with no refunds or exchanges, so settle the family's plans first. And it treats its own website, TheCenterCS.com, and its box office as the only official sources for its shows, warning that tickets bought elsewhere can turn out to be counterfeit.

What it means for Coral Springs

The Center mostly books what a suburban theater is expected to book: tribute bands, holiday shows, touring comedy and family matinees. A night built around South Asian music, with a headliner whose biggest song crossed a billion views, shows the room reaching a wider slice of the people who live around it, from Coral Springs and Parkland to Tamarac, Margate and the rest of north Broward.

It is also an easy night out by South Florida concert standards. There is no arena parking, no drive to Miami and no stadium-sized crowd, and a mezzanine seat costs $30 before fees. If Pasoori has been stuck in your head at any point since 2022, this is the chance to hear it sung by the person who made it famous, close to home. The front rows went first, and the rest of the house is selling now.
