Malaysia's 8TV Channel annual Mega Concert of The Year - SUMMER LIVE Concert is back! 8TV’s hottest Chinese music extravaganza returns for the fourth year running with sizzling hot stars from the Asian music scene.
Last year, the scorching summer soiree saw a staggering turnout of 100,000 music lovers merrymaking at Padang Ipoh, Perak. Having been to Esplanade, Penang, then Danga Bay, Johor Baru, and Padang Ipoh, Perak, the free live party is set to blaze its way to Malacca this August.
Last year's Event which was held at Padang , Ipoh , saw huge crowds enjoying themselves to the music and the beat with entertaining great performances by some of Asian most popular artistes and singers from Taiwan , Hongkong , and even Korea . A multinational line up of stars which includes Gary Cao Ge , Vincy , FIR , JJ Lin , George Lam , Daniel Lee Ji Han , The Cross ( Korea pop group ) , Danny Wan , 2moro and of course , Malaysia's very own Project Superstar Idols from the first two Seasons .
“Over the past three years, Summer Live Concert has always been a hit amongst our fans and viewers as well music lovers. It’s a free concert that celebrates musical individuality while providing a massive opportunity for every one to get together and just have a good time,” said 8TV Chief Executive Officer Ahmad Izham Omar at a press conference last week.
The line up of stars for this year's Event is just as powerful too . A star studded list of performing stars which boosts the likes of Jolin Tsai, Show Luo Zhi Xiang , Stanley Huang, Rainie Yang, Jam Hsiao, with boybands Energy and Awaking set to entertain the many Malaysian fans and music lovers this time round .
“I’m really excited about the show because I rarely go to Malaysia . I’m looking forward to working with Stanley Huang,” said Taiwanese singer Show Luo in a tele conference during the launch of the event. The 18th Taiwanese Golden Melody Awards Most Popular Male Singer was among the international artistes who performed at the first Summer Live Concert in 2005.
“I’ve never been to Malaysia before but I heard from my friends that there are lots of lovely girls there. I hope to meet some of them on stage,” said Taiwanese American singer-songwriter Stanley Huang in a video conference at the launch.
The local artiste line-up includes the winners of three seasons of Project Superstar Malaysia – Season One’s John and Desiree, Season Two’s Henley and Orange, and Season Three’s Kay and Hau.
