Fort Minor to rock Kuala Lumpur

By DARYL GOH

KUALA LUMPUR: Fort Minor, the solo project of Linkin Park co-founder/rapper Mike Shinoda, is the first confirmed major international concert of the year here as the rap rock outfit plays the Indoor Arena, Bukit Kiara Equestrian and Country Resort on Feb 28.

Lushington Entertainments, a regional events organiser based in Singapore, announced Fort Minor’s first dates in Asia, which kicks off in Kuala Lumpur followed by the Singapore Indoor Stadium on March 1.

As a live touring unit, Shinoda appears in Kuala Lumpur with the five-piece Fort Minor line-up, including rappers Tak and Ryu.

The Los Angeles-based Shinoda has proven his versatility with Fort Minor, a project that has spawned the debut album The Rising Tied and modern rock singles Believe Me and Remember The Name.

Fort Minor’s The Rising Tied, released by Warner Malaysia, has reached gold sales status with 15,000 units sold since its release last November.

Ticket details and outlets for Fort Minor’s Kuala Lumpur concert will be announced next week.
