This tour is in support and celebration of their fifth studio album, TAKING ONE FOR THE TEAM, which was released on the 19th of February, 2016. The last time the quintet visited Southeast Asia was four years ago, during their “Get Your Heart On! Tour”. We’re excited to have them back! Made up of Pierre Bouvier (vocals), Chuck Comeau (drums), David Desrosiers (bass, backing vocals), Sébastien Lefebvre (rhythm guitar, backing vocals), and Jeff Stinco (lead guitar), Simple Plan is known for their popular hits “Welcome to My Life”, “Perfect”, “Jet Lag”, “Summer Paradise”, “Shut Up” and many more. TICKETS: MYR172 – MYR652 At 68, Lam is still a bundle of energy and charisma. Lam kick-started his anniversary tour at the Hong Kong Coliseum, selling out all four nights. Lam is always an excellent judge of what his audiences want to hear. In his concert, he sang several of his hits but he didn‟t just ride the nostalgia train but instead, he used different arrangements for his past hits to give audience new connotations. Lam also shared his emotional moments during the concert with his audience which made the entire experience more like a gathering of old friends. Lam revealed, “A live concert is one of my favourite parts because of all the electricity generated in the crowd and onstage.” Welcome to the Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur!

Bob's Up Genting 2016 Talk Show is a “sequel” to last year's very successful talk show, Bob's Up in Hong Kong. Last year's event saw him playing to a full house—audience turnout was that good. This year, we can expect more of the same. Being funny is something that is second nature to Bob, and his good sense of humour is evident whether he plays emcee at a function or takes on a role in a film. Comedy is his forte and he never fails to impress fans and critics alike.
