Skipping KL, Post Malone heads to Singapore, Bangkok
SHAH ALAM - American rapper Post Malone is coming to Asia, and unfortunately, Malaysia is not on the list.
The American rapper has announced an Asia leg for his If “Y'all Weren't Here, I'd Be Crying tour”, which kicks off this September.
If you’re a fan, fret not - the 'Circles' act will be performing in neigbouring cities Singparoe and Bangkok as well as Manila, Taipei, Seoul, Hong Kong and Tokyo.
He will also be performing in several cities across Australia namely the Gold Coast, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.
Post Malone announced his tour dates in an Instagram post today and his since received mixed reactions from a handful of Malaysians in the comment section for skipping Kuala Lumpur.
He captioned it: 2023 world tour:) love you guys so very much and can’t wait to see every single one of you!
User @afiqjamalnasir commented “please come to Malaysia!”, while @shariqwhuuut kept things positive and told people to "just go Singapore, join us". Meanwhile, @niksofiaazarina kept it simple and said "KUALA LUMPUR".
Post Malone is one of the few major musical act to tour Asia after Taylor Swift announcing a three-day concert and Coldplay's six-days performance in Singapore.
Coldplay will also be performing in Kuala Lumpur on Nov 22 this year. This, however, has drawn flak from Pas with one central committee member Nasrudin Hassan claiming that the concert promotes “hedonism and deviant teachings” and should be cancelled.
Nasrudin had attached a picture of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin raising the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) flag at a concert in London.
This triggered Coldplay frontman Chris Martin to send out a heartfelt message to all Malaysians and was quoted saying: “Anyone that is not happy that we’re coming, we’re so sorry”.
