Whoever said Hong Kong is a cultural desert just didn’t know which events to go to. Our city is in fact an arts and culture destination in itself, and even before half the art world flocks to our shores for Art Month in March, there are plenty of things to add to our cultural calendars. Here are six concert and music events happening this month that will appeal to fans of K-pop, lo-fi, indie art pop, and even opera.
2025 Kang Daniel Concert [Act] Tour
Daniel, the popular winner of talent competition show Produce 101 and ex- member of South Korean boyband Wanna One, is continuing his soloist career with the release of his mini album Act last year. This has since been followed by his world tour, and Hong Kong is one of his stops. Fans can expect performances of his latest tracks along with fan favourite songs that will have you looking back fondly on his seven-year music career. Tickets range from $788 to $1,588, and all concertgoers will receive an autograph card, with the VIP tier also getting signed photo cards and posters, a group photo session, and access to the sound check and hi-bye sessions.
Jonas Kaufmann opera gala
German-Austrian singer Jonas Kaufmann has been hailed as one of the world’s greatest tenors, and he will be performing in Hong Kong for the first time this month alongside the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra. He has starred in over 70 operas in major opera houses all over the world, so we’re thrilled to be able to catch him on a Hong Kong stage. This concert will feature operatic arias from some of Kaufmann’s most iconic roles – even those not well-versed in theatre will easily recognise famous songs from Carmen, Tosca, Turandot, and more. Tickets are available from $580 to $1,980.
keshi: Requiem tour
Singer-songwriter keshi is currently on tour for the release of his sophomore album ‘Requiem’, visiting 35 cities across North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia – which includes Hong Kong. This world tour follows the release of his latest album Requiem, in which the multi-instrumentalist shifts away from the lo-fi sound and lends his emotional vocals to melancholic tracks full of longing. Tickets range from $599 to $2,600 – the most expensive tier includes access to the pre-show soundcheck party, a VIP-exclusive print signed by keshi, a premium merch package, and early access to both the performance hall and the merch stand.
2NE1 Welcome Back 2024-2025 Asia tour
If you didn’t catch these second-generation K-pop queens at their Hong Kong concert last December, then you have a chance to see them this month in Macau instead. The group has not been active as a full quartet since 2016 so this Asia tour in light of their 15th anniversary as a music group is pretty monumental. Hit up the newly renovated Venetian Arena on February 22 and 23 for their two-night stint in Macau, with tickets ranging from $799 to $2,299.
Aurora ‘What Happened To The Earth? Part 4’
Art pop singer-songwriter Aurora is one of Norway’s biggest artists du jour, and she will soon be making her Hong Kong debut as part of her ‘What Happened To The Earth? Part 4’ tour. This tour rides on her much-acclaimed fourth studio album What Happened to the Heart?, which was inspired by a letter written by indigenous activists, and talks about the constant loss of spiritual connection and humanity in modern life. Concertgoers can expect to be treated to Aurora’s indie-pop and disco-inflected tracks, delivered in her signature ethereal vocals. Tickets run from $680 to $880.
