Popular K-pop boy group Infinite is celebrating their 15th anniversary with an Asia tour. Apart from cities like Seoul, Taipei, Yokohama, and Kuala Lumpur, they will also be playing in Hong Kong. If you didn’t get tickets to their Macau show last December, hopefully you can catch them in town on March 1.

Since this is an anniversary concert, fans can most likely look forward to hearing Infinite’s most popular hits from across the years. Tickets range from $980 to $1,880 – the top two ticket tiers will receive a signed card and a signed Polaroid, as well as a group photo session with the band, while $1,880 ticket-holders will additionally get access to the soundcheck session.

R&B and neo-soul singer Kehlani is making their debut Hong Kong performance in their Crash World Tour. The two-time Grammy Award-nominated musician released their fourth studio album ‘Crash’ in June this year, so expect plenty of new tracks in the concert, though the setlist will also include some of their previous hits, like Altar, Nights Like This, and Good Thing.

We can’t wait to experience Kehlani’s soulful vocals live as they sing about life, longing, lust, and love. Ticket prices have yet to be announced, but the artist pre-sale opens on November 27 at 12 noon, followed by the Live Nation members pre-sale on November 28 at noon. Tickets for the general public will then go on sale from November 29 at noon.

India’s most vibrant and colourful festival Holi is coming to Hong Kong in a brand-new experience. The debut edition of the Colour & Music Fest will be held in Ma On Shan on March 8. Live DJ sets will keep the party vibes going through the one-day event with a mix of EDM, chart-toppers, afrobeats, Bollywood tunes, and more. Keeping with the spirit of Holi, festival-goers will also be given unlimited colour packs (eco-friendly, non-toxic, and skin-friendly, by the way) to douse themselves and their friends with vibrant splashes – we’d suggest wearing white for the hues to really shine through!

There will also be an inflatable pool to splash around in, a spread of Indian, Jain, Mediterranean, and Western food, and of course, a full bar setup to keep everyone hydrated and hyped. General admission tickets cost $259, with discounts available for senior citizens, children aged three to 11, and domestic helpers. As a Women’s Day special promotion, female attendees can get their tickets at the discounted price of $249 – use the code WOMENSCOLOR25 to get another $50 off!

Fans of third-generation K-pop groups will know of Gfriend as a girl group that garnered considerable success after debuting in 2015, despite being from a small record label. After their third studio album in 2020, the six-member group parted ways when their contracts ended in 2021, though members Eunha, SinB, and Umji later went on to form Viviz in 2022 under new management. 

The girls are now reuniting as a group in celebration of their decade-long careers, releasing the single ‘Season of Memories’ as a reunion project in January. Catch them at their Hong Kong concert on March 14 – tickets range from $999 to $1,899. All concert-goers will receive an exclusive photocard, while the middle ticket tier can also be selected to attend the girl group’s send-off session, and the highest ticket tier will additionally have access to the soundcheck and receive a VIP ID and lanyard.

This marks the British alt-rock band Coldplay’s first time back in Hong Kong since their Viva La Vida tour in 2009. They will also be among the first music acts to perform at the main stadium of the brand-new Kai Tak Sports Park

There hasn’t been any official confirmation yet, but based on the setlists for other cities, it’s pretty safe to assume that the band will perform some of their big hits and classic bangers like Higher Power, The Scientist, Yellow, Fix You, and more. Concert-goers can also expect tracks from their latest album ‘New Moon’, such as We Pray and feelslikeimfallinginlove in the mix.

Tickets to see Coldplay range from $399, $699, $999, $1,299, $1,699, to $2,099 – these are all seated tickets within the stadium. Standing tickets, which offer the closest proximity to the band right on the stadium grounds itself, will be available for $1,399.

There are also options for enhanced experiences, such as $2,799 for a standing ticket, early entry via a dedicated entrance, gifts, and special merch counters. Other tiers for premium experiences are also available at $3,499 and $6,599 – the most costly of which includes the most expensive seated tickets, an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour, a professionally taken photo opp on Coldplay’s stage, tier-exclusive merch, gifts, and more.

After a 25-year hiatus on Cantonese music in favour of his screen and celebrity chef career, Nicholas Tse is finally taking to the stage again this year, to the delight of his fans. The highly anticipated concert series will take place in the Kai Tak Sports Park from April 24 to 26 – the show on the 24th was added due to overwhelming demand.

Tse will be the first male soloist to perform at the brand-new 50,000-seat stadium and the first local artist to headline a performance at Kai Tak. The ‘Evolution Nic Live’ show comes just a little over a week after British alt-rock band Coldplay plays their April concert in the same venue. Given that Tse’s last major performance in Hong Kong was back in 2020, with six sold-out shows at the Hong Kong Coliseum, it only makes sense that Hongkongers are greatly interested in attending.

Tickets range from $680 to $1,380, with general sales opening on February 19 – last we checked, tickets were going like hotcakes, so act fast!

After much teasing and speculation, BTS member J-Hope has officially announced that he will be embarking on a solo world tour. From February onwards, the rapper-dancer-producer will make his way across Asia and North America – including performing two nights in Macau.

The ‘Hope On The Stage’ tour marks his first major event on the cards since J-Hope, real name Jung Hoseok, was discharged from mandatory military service back in October last year. There has been no confirmation yet, but we might well be seeing new music to accompany this world tour.

Ticketing details have yet to be announced, but for now, Hong Kong and Macau ARMYs can mark their calendars for May 17 and 18.

Japanese singer-songwriter Ado is returning to Hong Kong for her second world tour Hibana towards the middle of next year. Kicking off in Japan in April, the Hibana tour will take place in cities like Bangkok, Manila, Taipei, and Seoul, before arriving in Hong Kong and other Asian and Australian cities in May, followed by Europe, North America, and Latin America.

‘Hibana’ means ‘spark’ in Japanese, and we’re sure the 22-year-old is bringing enough talent to light up the entire AsiaWorld-Arena. Expect to hear plenty of tracks from Ado’s second album Zanmu, and hopefully some of her previous hits like ‘Gira Gira’ and her breakthrough single ‘Usseewa’.

If you missed Ado when she was in town for her Wish debut world tour earlier this year, then mark your calendars! Ticket prices have yet to be released, but the organiser’s pre-sale will begin on November 19 at 10am – use the code CruchyrollxAdo to access the ticketing page on the official tour website. Tickets for the general public will then be available on November 22 at 10am.

King of Mandopop Jay Chou will bring his eighth concert tour, Carnival, to Hong Kong towards the end of June, marking his first-ever performance in our new Kai Tak Stadium. Fans will be treated to the Taiwanese singer-songwriter’s most iconic hits throughout his 25-year musical career.

The official setlist for the concert has not been released, but judging from previous stops, he will perform beloved tracks such as Half-beast Human, Tornado, Unspeakable Secret, Give Me the Span of a Song, Mojito, and Loveable Woman. Chou’s Taiwan concerts also had a song-requesting portion in the show, so let’s see if he will break the record of singing more than 15 requested songs during his Hong Kong concerts.

The Carnival tour will be in town for three consecutive nights from June 27 to 29. Tickets run from $680 to $1,880.
