1. Blackpink @ Malawati Indoor Stadium, Shah Alam — February 23 and 24

The K-pop girl group Blackpink is one of the fastest rising names in the music industry.

The band consisting of Jisoo, Jennie, Lisa and Rosé is also the only K-pop girl group to have four Number One singles on Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales chart apart from having the most viewed K-pop music video in 24 hours.

Tickets for the February 23 concert sold out in a day which led to them scheduling another concert in Malaysia.

Besides catchy songs with funky beats, expect the four girls to put in a belter of a show alongside their well-synchronised dance moves.
