Fans of English indie rock band Bombay Bicycle Club should already know this: they're heading to Asia this November with solo shows and a headlining festival act. If you're not in the know, then you're in luck – there are still tickets available to the band's upcoming performances in the region.
The band is fresh from the release of their latest EP, Fantasies, and a re-issue of their near-perfect So Long, See You Tomorrow album on vinyl, so you can damn well expect something special from this tour. Here's where and when the performances are happening and how to score tickets.
Where and when is Bombay Bicycle Club's Asia tour?
Right after their Australia tour, the band is diving into three shows in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and Jakarta. You can catch the shows on these dates:
- November 21: Singapore, Capitol Theatre
- November 22: Kuala Lumpur, Zepp KL
- November 24: Jakarta, GBK Baseball Stadium
The first two are solo shows, while the Jakarta act is part of Joyland Festival Jakarta 2024.
Are there still tickets available?
Lucky you, yes! Tickets are still available for all three shows. In Singapore, you can still get Cat A (standing pit), Cat C (upper circle) and general admission tickets. In Kuala Lumpur, Cat 3 (seated) and general admission tickets are still available. Meanwhile, presales for Joyland Jakarta are ongoing, with all but early entry one-day pass still available.
How much are tickets to the Asia tour?
Here's what you can expect to pay for tickets to Bombay Bicycle Club in each city (approximated in USD):
- Singapore: $74 to $81
- Kuala Lumpur: $52 to $57
- Jakarta: $32 to Rp $90
What to expect from Bombay Bicycle Club's Asia tour?
Bombay Bicycle Club dropped their latest EP, Fantasies, in February this year, so fingers crossed that we get to hear live renditions of fresh tracks like 'Fantasneeze' and 'Willow'. The EP is a continuation of the band's 2023 studio album, My Big Day, and we'd be disappointed not to hear favourites such as the eponymous 'My Big Day', 'Tekken 2' and 'Meditate'. And of course, be prepared to sing along to all-time favourites like 'Eat, Sleep, Wake (Nothing But You)', 'Lights Out, Words Gone' and cult hit 'Luna'.
Who are the opening acts for Bombay Bicycle Club in Asia?
One of the best things about watching your favourite artists in concert is discovering their favourite artists. And for the Asia tour, Bombay Bicycle Club have invited two local acts to open their Singapore and KL shows. In Singapore, indie rock band Stopgap – no stranger to the festival circuit and having toured India and Australia themselves – will open for the English band. In KL, look forward to talented Malaysian singer-songwriter Daiyan Trisha, who's known for top singles like 'Penat' and 'Langit'.
The Jakarta leg is a different story, as Bombay Bicycle Club will be headlining the third and last day of Joyland Festival Jakarta. On the same day Bombay Bicycle club is playing, you can catch South Korean music collective Balming Tiger, Japanese instrumental band Mono, Indonesian circus rock band Teenage Death Star, and more. Check out the full line-up with our guide to Joyland Festival Jakarta.
