This year has seen an influx of live concerts and shows return to Malaysian shores, and now, we’re excited about what 2023 might have in store for us. Read on to discover about all the must-see concerts set to show in KL in 2023. 

As we bid a (hopefully) permanent farewell to virtual events, more and more concerts, comedy shows and other events find their way back to our shores.

The announcement made back in August 2022 by the ultra-famous group marked the return of live events and concerts in KL, as other huge acts were announced for 2023 shortly after. However, they are not the only ones set to rock the stages in Malaysia, as plenty more will be flocking to KL to entertain Malaysians.

 

Here’s a guide to all the concerts and other events in Malaysia confirmed for 2023:
