In a country that is known for its strict monitoring of musical content, Iran has surprised many with its recent decision to allow an pop star to perform in public.
Xaniar Khosravi is all set to perform on April 24 to a completely sold out show -- the first pop singer ever allowed to perform publicly in the country's history. Sharia Law mandates that all music must be approved by the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance.
The pop singer's music was previously confined to the Internet and the country's underground music scene. But now the much-anticipated concert will go down in history.
When Khosravi posted about the show on his Facebook page , the concert sold out almost immediately. One Facebook user posted on the singer's page, "I'm so sad I couldn't get a ticket. I wanna die."
