Stop and stare: OneRepublic, led by main man Ryan Tedder (front), to bring the party to Sunway Lagoon’s Surf Beach, Petaling Jaya in Selangor on Oct 31.
Linkin Park, Yuna and OneRepublic for concerts in Malaysia.
IF you’ve had enough of hipster-infested music festivals, K-pop music extravaganzas and the lack of full-length concerts heading our way, then you’re in for a treat. Well, make that three. Recently, American rock band Linkin Park announced it will be returning to Malaysia for a concert.
The band is bringing its Living Things World Tour to the Bukit Jalil National Stadium in Kuala Lumpur on Aug 19.
Formed in 1996, the Californian band rose to fame with the release of its debut album Hybrid Theory (2000). The best-selling album spawned hit singles like Crawling, Papercut, In The End, and One Step Closer. The band’s latest album Living Things, released last year, debuted at the top spot on the Billboard 200 charts in the United States.
Fans can look forward to seeing vocalist Chester Bennington, drummer/percussionist Rob Bourdon, guitarist Brad Delson, bassist Dave “Phoenix” Farrell, deejay Joe Hahn and co-vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Mike Shinoda for a night of rocking mayhem in Bukit Jalil.
This is the band’s second appearance in Malaysia. In 2003, the band played a concert at Merdeka Stadium in Kuala Lumpur for over 25,000 fans.
Tickets for Linkin Park’s Living Things World Tour in Malaysia are available through www.ticketcharge.com.my.
After Linkin Park, fans can also look forward to LosAngeles-based Malaysian singer-songwriter Yuna returning home for three orchestra-backed shows (Sept 6-8) at Istana Budaya in KL.
Yuna, who kickstarted her major label career (Verve Records) in the US earlier this year, already has her Sixth Street digital EP and new single I Wanna Go gaining attention in the global pop scene. Any homecoming gigs by this indie darling are bound to be sold-out affairs. More info: www.istanabudaya.gov.my.
OneRepublic’s first proper show in Malaysia is another treat. The American pop-rock band will play Sunway Lagoon’s Surf Beach, Petaling Jaya, Selangor on Oct 31. Formed in 2002, the band consists of vocalist Ryan Tedder, guitarist Zach Filkins, bassist Drew Brown, drummer Eddie Fisher and keyboardist Brent Kutzle.
The band’s debut album Dreaming Out Loud in 2007 featured hit singles Apologize and Stop And Stare. OneRepublic also appeared at the MTV Asia Awards in Genting in 2008.
The upcoming show is set to showcase material from its latest album Native, which has a more dance-orientated groove.
Tickets to OneRepublic’s Native Tour stop in Malaysia are available at www.ticketpro.com.my.
In other concert news, R&B star Alicia Keys is due to play a concert in Kuala Lumpur in November. More details soon.
