We have no idea what’s it about the year 2023 and 2024 but Coldplay, Beyonce, Taylor Swift and multiple international artistes are stopping by our humble little sub-continent. We’re not complaining BUT let’s just say it hasn’t been kind on our bank accounts. After Taylor Swift skipped Malaysia on her tour, the next artist to do so is rapper-singer, Post Malone. On 30 June 2023, Live Nation released the details of the artiste’s 2023 tour which comprised Bangkok, Manila, Taipei, Seoul, Hong Kong and Tokyo.
To our Singaporean friends, before raging, fret not! Post Malone will be stopping by Singapore for the 2023 F1 Singapore Grand Prix set to happen from 15 to 17 September 2023. Alongside Post Malone, Jackson Wang, Robbie Williams, NIKI, Rich Brian and Warren Hue are also part of the impressive lineup.
While it’s understandable for Malaysians to feel disappointed by the exclusions, especially after the Coldplay controversy, the general public is well aware of the reasons why these artists are not visiting our country.
Despite the setback, music lovers in Malaysia can still enjoy the anticipation and excitement generated by the international music scene, even if it means traveling to neighbouring countries to catch their favourite artists in action.
In the end, the anticipation and joy brought by these artists’ visits outweigh the temporary disappointment, reminding us of the power and universality of music that transcends borders and connects people across the sub-continent.
So, which artist will you be seeing this year?
