Set to take place at Mega Star Arena, Sungei Wang Plaza, Jalan Sultan Ismail, Kuala Lumpur, EMPAT Live In Kuala Lumpur 2025 is more than just a concert—it is a symbol of love, affection, unity, and the celebration of Malaysia's greatest talents across generations.
In a statement yesterday, Anuar said: "This project is truly exciting because none of us ever imagined that fate would bring us—my sister Ziana, our niece Ernie, and her husband Syamel—together as entertainers in the same industry, sharing one stage for a concert.
"After careful planning, EMPAT Live In Kuala Lumpur 2025 has finally been made a reality.
"This concert has actually been in the works for two to three years.
"However, due to our busy schedules and each artiste's individual commitments, we had to wait for the right time."
Anuar added: "This concert isn't just about us—it's about how we appreciate the continuous support from fans of all generations for the work we've done, and will continue to do.
"We hope everyone will enjoy EMPAT with a strong sense of love and unity."

numerous fan requests.
"I won't promise something extraordinary—but come and enjoy EMPAT for what it truly is.
"I want fans to leave with magical, unforgettable moments."

"This has been a long-time dream of mine, and it's finally coming true."
Syamel said: "I believe the collaboration between the four of us, each bringing his or her energy, will result in a truly captivating performance concept."
The concert's director is Jennifer Thompson with Sze Wan as music director.
Thompson said: "We've been planning this concert for the past three years, and we're thrilled it's finally happening.
"All four of them are incredible singers and entertainers, but what makes this show magical is that each has a unique style.
