CELEBRATED Indian music director, singer, and actor GV Prakash's concert in Malaysia is set to close 2024 for Tamil music fans with an
unforgettable musical bang, as the final star-studded line-up is officially confirmed.
Taking place on December 7 at the Bukit Jalil National Hockey Stadium, 'GV Prakash -Live in Malaysia: A Celebration of Life' will bring together an epic roster of talents,making it one of the most highly anticipated Tamil music events of the year.
After a wildly successful concert in Coimbatore last year that saw over 75,000 tickets sell out in record time, GV Prakash's Malaysian fans are in for a night to remember.
For his first-ever live concert outside his home country, GV Prakash has chosen Malaysia as the venue and for his Malaysian fans, it's an exciting opportunity to witness the musical genius live on stage, delivering an electrifying show filled with his iconic hits and star-studded collaborations.
The composer, actor, and music producer has earned a reputation for creating magic, with his music featured in nearly 100 Tamil and South Indian films.
Ticket sales for the concert have been excellent, with around 11,000 tickets already sold. With a final push, the organisers are aiming for a full house of 15,000 attendees, nearly reaching the venue's full capacity.
Following a hiatus to focus on his acting career, his return to the stage has been epic, and recent hits like Amaran and Lucky Baskhar have reignited his musical genius, and fans are eagerly awaiting his live performance.
The night will showcase an impressive line-up of renowned Tamil music stars.
Joining him on stage is none other than his ex-wife, Saindhavi, along with top-tier singers from Tamil Nadu, including Haricharan, Tippu, Diwakar, Anand Aravindakshan, Anthony Dasan, Haripriya, Nithyashree and Stefany Vatz.
Hricharan and Tippu, are also well known as super stars of the music having sang songs in many top Tamil movies for almost the last two decades.
The show will also have a local flavour that will feature local legends Yogi B, the godfather of Malaysian hip-hop, and the rising star Arulini Ashwiinaa, who recently made waves with her incredible performance on India’s Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Seniors.
Arulini, 22, made the country proud with her powerful run on the fourth season of the reality singing television show, where she was selected after auditioning in Kuala Lumpur.
With her consistent performances and ability to wow the judges, Arulini made it to the last round before the grand finale, proving herself as a formidable talent.
