Lock Up, is another Malaysian Indian band that has won multiple awards and recognition.

A day prior to the performance, Pitch Perfect made an official announcement on their social media that there will be an additional surprise for the concert goers. The organizer revealed and decided to bring in another big time Malaysian Indian legend, Darkkey Nagaraja and Elan. These two legends stunned the crowd with their most celebrated songs as the opening act of the concert.
A combination of all Malaysian Indian songs were queued up and played by the disk jockeys, DJ Jay and DJ Nexto before the event started. The hosts of the evening, Malaysian Indian stars Pashini Sivakumar and Revathy Mariappan, kept the audience engaged by thanking the event’s sponsors and posing straightforward questions and fun facts of the bands to the crowd.
