AsiaWorld Expo

If you didn’t manage to see the acclaimed Japanese rock band Radwimps during their sold-out world tour last year, we hope you already got tickets for their concert in Hong Kong this year. The band have gone back on the road with their ‘The way you yawn, and the outcry of Peace’ world tour from early April, starting off with sold-out shows at Tokyo’s Yoyogi National Stadium and Yokohama’s Pia Arena. For one night only, the tour will take Radwimps to our very own AsiaWorld-Expo on Tuesday, May 7. As if we need any more reasons to pull up, the band has announced that TikTok-viral singer-songwriter Toaka, who sung the eponymous title track for Makato Shinkai’s animated movie Suzume to great success, will be joining the Radwimps tour from their Chengdu show onwards on April 21. This means that audiences in Guangzhou, Manila, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taipei, Jakarta, Bangkok, and Seoul will be in for a treat. There’s no doubt that they’ll collaborate to blow the roof off with a soaring live performance of the Suzume theme song. If you liked the soundtrack for Shinkai’s hit movies Your Name and Weathering With You, don’t miss the chance to see the band behind the scores play live. And if you see us crying in the audience, no you didn’t. Tickets are on sale from $799 to $1,099.

Let’s face it: a large part of the Hallyu’s phenomenal success has to do with South Korea’s attractive celebrities and pop culture personalities, and boy, do they have pretty boys in spades. So how would you like to see a group of buff, objectively hot Korean men gyrating across a stage without having to fly to Korea yourself? The hugely popular Wild Wild Show has worked plenty of women up into a frenzy when it visited Taiwan and Macau last year, and now, these nine well-oiled oppas with rippling abs are making their way to our shores. Designed to cater to every type of female desire with the male actors presenting loving, romantic, gentle, and wild fantasies, the Wild Wild Show in Korea bars anyone under 19 from entry – so that should give you an idea of just how hot things might get on stage. Expect modern dance numbers, aerial and pole dances, men in uniforms, men in barely any clothing, and interactive performances that are just short of public indecency.  View this post on Instagram A post shared by Wild Wild (@wildwild_official) There will purportedly be four shows altogether in May, three of which are only for women, and one for everyone interested regardless of gender. Three members of the Wild Wild troupe – leader Lee Kug-young, along with Kang Chun-il and Jeong Han-saem – will also be going around Hong Kong on an open-top bus to tease the show on March 14. They’ll be touring around Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei, Tsim Sha Tsui promenade, North Point, Causeway

Paris-based multi-talented musician Vincent Fenton will be playing in Hong Kong for one night only in May. Better known as French Kiwi Juice or FKJ, his musical arrangements move easily through blues, electronica, and pop – perhaps a reflection of how he taught himself to play a wide array of instruments. With shows selling out in Asia, Europe, Australia, and America, we can’t wait to see FKJ live, jumping between vocals, guitars, sax, keys, and more in a performance like no other. Tickets are on sale for $999.

K-pop band Riize will be performing in Hong Kong for one day only on June 1. Despite only debuting in August 2023, the seven-strong group has already made a mark with their impressive debut album sales, and was also the opening act for IU on the second day of her H.E.R. world tour. For their own Riizing Day fan-con tour, the group will be performing in nine locations, including Hong Kong. Since they’ve just announced a new mini album, concert attendees will be the first to hear their new tracks live. Tickets range between $1,099 and $1,799, and fans who have registered for a Briize fanclub membership can access the pre-sale on April 17. General sales will then start on April 18.

EXO member Baekhyun will be in Hong Kong for his Lonsdaleite Asia tour. His initial schedule only accounted for two days in the city, but the responses from his fans have been so overwhelming that they have now added an extra date to the concert set – these extra tickets are going on sale on April 10. Tickets range from $899 to $2,099, and while all ticket tiers will receive a photocard of unreleased Baekhyun images, VIP ticket holders will also get to attend the soundcheck and the send-off session.

If you’re on the clock app, then you’ll already know imase, the 23-year-old Japanese singer who went viral just one year after getting into music. His hit track Night Dancer has gone on to become the first J-pop song to chart within the top 20 on South Korean streaming platform Melon. It’s been wild seeing how imase has gone from making music from a desk underneath his bunk bed to performing and winning awards at the MMAs and the CCMAs last year – we can’t wait to see him live. Tickets range from $888 to the $1,288 VIP package, and will be going on sale from 11am onwards on April 25.

This will be the Japanese singer-songwriter’s first time touring Asia in six years since her last tour in 2018. So far, dates for Taipei and Hong Kong have been confirmed, with Shanghai and more cities promised to come. Risa Oribe, better known by her stage name LiSA, said in a message to her fans, ‘I can finally meet you all! Thank you for waiting so long!’ Fingers crossed she’ll be singing her hit singles Gurenge and Homura.

Japanese singer and lyricist Aimer will be returning to Hong Kong after five years for a concert. Named ‘3 nuits’, or ‘three nights’ in French, the tour will be going to three major Asian cities, namely Shanghai, Taipei, and Hong Kong. Having started her musical career back in 2011, Aimer has plenty of hits, including the theme songs for several anime series such as Demon Slayer, Chainsaw Man, and Bleach. Catch the singer’s signature husky vocals on July 9 – tickets are now on sale, ranging from $780 to $1,380.

Celebrated Japanese singer Utada Hikaru has announced that she is coming to Hong Kong on her Science Fiction tour. This will be her first tour in many years, as well as her first-ever concert in Hong Kong. Tickets will range from $680 to $1,580 – registration for the priority ticket ballot will run from noon on April 22 to 6pm on April 23, and if chosen, priority sales will begin on April 29. General sales will then start on May 8. 

Following from their Hong Kong concert last August, indie pop band Lany are once again returning to our shores later this year in October. Their world tour comes straight off the back of their new studio album ‘a beautiful blur’, with hit tracks such as Alonica, XXL, and Cause You Have To. Let’s place bets on whether they’ll be performing the studio or ‘Hopeless’ stripped back version of Love At First Fight at the live concert. Prices have yet to be released, but fans can secure the first round of tickets at the artist presale on March 11, while the Live Nation presale is available for members on March 13. General sales will then start on March 14.
