DiGi's Head of Segments, Koay Chee Keong, said: "We want to keep our subscribers engaged and we aim to do that by creating exceptional music encounters that cater to their different music preferences. This time, we are bringing two young acts, whose music has attracted a strong following among Malaysian youths today."
Loan Cheong, General Manager of Universal Music Malaysia, noted: "Many times, outstation fans have to make their way to the Klang Valley to catch live performances of their favourite artistes. Now, with three locations to choose from, I believe the fans would appreciate our decision of bringing their idols closer to them."
Managing Director of Sony Music, Adrian Lim, expanded: "These shows are tailored to be once-in-a-lifetime experience for fans as it's not every day that one can enjoy two different music genres in a single show.
