1. Star-Studded Performances

The evening will be led by none other than Canadian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Henry Lau, known for his time with Super Junior-M and a dazzling solo career. Joining him is the acclaimed American indie-pop duo Capital Cities, whose multi-platinum hit Safe and Sound remains a global anthem.

Local talent will take the stage with Malaysia’s folk sensation P A L E N C I A, setting the tone with their unique melodies, followed by the electrifying Saint Kylo, promising a high-energy live show. Fans will also be treated to Yuji ft. Putri Dahlia, performing their viral hit that racked up over 163 million Spotify streams and landed them a Malaysia Book of Records title.

The excitement doesn’t stop there! Genre-blending star NYK and the versatile Daiyan Trisha will bring their signature sounds, while hip-hop fans can look forward to fiery sets from Joe Flizzow & SonaOne, presented by Def Jam. To top it all off, Malaysia’s own K-Town Clan will keep the party vibes going strong.

The night will close with an exhilarating back-to-back DJ set by Aidaho b2b Ashley Lau, building the energy to a crescendo just in time for the midnight fireworks display.

2. Fireworks and Laser Projections Like Never Before

As the countdown builds, be dazzled by cutting-edge laser projections lighting up the Kuala Lumpur skyline, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening. 

When the clock strikes midnight, the night sky will erupt in a symphony of fireworks, creating the perfect Instagram-worthy moment to kickstart 2025 in style.
