After over 20 years, 90s Malaysian girl group Elite to hold first solo concert this September
KUALA LUMPUR, June 23 – Popular 90s Malaysian girl group Elite are reuniting for a solo concert in conjunction with their 30th anniversary.
This will be their first solo concert in over 20 years and is set to take place at Plenary Hall, Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre on September 20.
Organised by Icon Entertainment, the Elite Live '25 concert will feature all five original members — Abby Abadi, Azza Zawari, Linda Rafar, Watie Sadali, and Sasha Saidin — taking centre stage this September.
According to Linda, the decision to hold a solo concert came after the warm reception they received during the GenKRU concert at Axiata Arena in May, where the group made a surprise appearance during one of the four-day shows.
'Actually, we were a bit nervous because, as you all know, it's been quite a while since we performed live together, especially on a large scale.
'When we received the offer from Icon Entertainment, we had mixed feelings at first but eventually agreed to it.
'This was after taking into consideration that some of our songs are still favoured and relevant, and we want to party with all our fans — both old and new,' Linda said.
Formed in 1995, Elite was the first act signed under KRU Records. Over five years with the label, they released several albums including Catwalk, Tamparan, Idola, Selamat Tinggal Teman, G.I.G, and Merbahaya.
The theme for Elite Live '25 is Catwalk, and fans are encouraged to dress their best as there will also be a red carpet session.
Tickets for Elite Live '25 will go on sale starting June 26 at 2pm, with prices ranging from RM268 to RM1,088.

KUALA LUMPUR, June 23 — K-pop group HIGHLIGHT will perform in Malaysia on Saturday, September 27, at Idea Live Arena as part of their highly anticipated RIDE OR DIE tour, as previously announced on May 19. The concert time has been moved to an earlier slot of 4.30pm, from the originally scheduled 8.00pm, according to an update shared today by promoter GME International on their official X (formerly Twitter) account. The RIDE OR DIE tour will also include stops in Seoul, Taipei, Macau, Manila, Tokyo, and Bangkok, before concluding in Kuala Lumpur. HIGHLIGHT, currently comprising four members — Yoon Doo-joon, Yang Yo-seob, Lee Gi-kwang, and Son Dong-woon — first captured fans' hearts under their original name, BEAST, debuting in 2009 under Cube Entertainment. The group was initially a six-member band before the departure of Jang Hyun-seung. In 2016, the remaining members left their agency and subsequently parted ways with the BEAST name. The group rebranded as HIGHLIGHT the following year, signing with Around Us Entertainment. Yong Jun-hyung later departed from the group in 2019. Since their re-debut as HIGHLIGHT, they have continued to grow in popularity, releasing several hit songs including It's Still Beautiful, Take Care, BODY, Switch On, and their latest single, Chains. This will mark the group's third visit to Malaysia and their second as HIGHLIGHT, following their previous performance at the K-Wave Music Festival in 2017, held at Surf Beach, Sunway Lagoon. For details about HIGHLIGHT's upcoming visit to Malaysia and ticket sales, fans are advised to check the group's official social media channels or GME International's X account. [UPDATE] HIGHLIGHT [RIDE OR DIE] in MALAYSIA 2025 Concert Time Change After careful consideration and taking into account your feedback, we have decided to reschedule the concert timing to 4:30PM. Kindly refer to the latest poster for the updated show details. — GME International (@mygmegroup) June 23, 2025
