Rohail Hyatt and crew are back with a fifth season of Coke Studio this summer; the first episode aired on May 13 and featured performances by Atif Aslam, Bohemia, Hadiqa Kiani, Humayoon Khan, Qayaas, SYMT and Umair Jaswal. Performers from previous seasons, including Meesha Shafi and Fareed Ayaz and Abu Muhammad join musicians Bilal Khan, Chakwalis, Overload and Tahir Mithu for this instalment of the Coke series. For the first time, at midnight on May 12, the show’s producers decided to release videos of performances prior to the episode’s transmission on May 13, allowing millions of fans on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter to instantly share and comment on (and thoroughly dissect) this season’s performances, without crashing the show’s official servers.
