Malaysian top alternative rock group Midnight Fusic all set to stage their long-awaited first-ever solo concert
Formed in 2013, Midnight Fusic has established a strong and dedicated fan base both locally and internationally. They are now considered among the best alternative rock bands in the South-East Asia region and have also performed live shows in many countries, including South Korea, Indonesia, and Singapore.
Consisting of Arif Kamarudin (vocals, guitar), Adrian Danial (vocals, guitar), Firdaus Azmi (bass), and Muaz Rabbani (drums), the band delivers a compelling fusion of alternative rock and rich pop melodies — complete with catchy hooks, emotive vocals, and dynamic instrumentation that resonates with both rock fans and mainstream listeners alike.
The year 2024 saw Midnight Fusic's momentum reach new heights as the band graced a variety of live events, including "Riuh, MLBB 8th Anniversary Music Party, YSL Beauty, Zus: Lokal Kasi Vocal, and Last Dinosaurs: Live in KL".
Expanding their footprint beyond Malaysian borders, the band also performed in South Korea at the "Incheon Record Platform 2024" and "Newtro Rhythm Global Music Tour 2024". They also Malaysia's first indie alternative band that was chosen as the first Asian talent to be featured in Deezer NEXT in 2018.
They had also appeared at "We The Fest" in Indonesia and "Baybeats" in Singapore. They also opened for international acts such as Boys Like Girls Comes to Asia and LANY Live in Kuala Lumpur.
The band's vibrant musical journey was further amplified with the release of their latest EP, Modus Operandi, on 23 May 2025, following their self-titled debut album in February 2021. Their 2020 single "Sandiwara" marked a significant moment as their first-ever Malay-language track.
Now, with all the pieces in place, Sept 14 is set to be a sweet and momentous date — much like the taste of Caramel Cream — as the band, who was crowned Band of the Year at The Platform Awards 2020, presents their most important show yet: their first and biggest concert to date.
Titled "Midnight Fusic Forevermore 2025", this concert marks a new beginning for the band and their fans, who will come together at Zepp Kuala Lumpur from 8pm. Presented by OYOLLO ASIA, the organisers believe this is the perfect time to spotlight the band.
'OYOLLO ASIA is proud to present Midnight Fusic Forevermore 2025, the band's first-ever solo concert. As a Malaysian company, we're passionate about championing next-generation musical talent. Midnight Fusic represents everything the future of music should be — bold, highly talented, local, and globally relevant,' said Kenny Wong, Managing Director of OYOLLO ASIA.
He added, 'This concert is more than a performance; it's a celebration of youth, creativity, Malaysian talent, and also Midnight Fusic's 10th anniversary. Their unique blend of indie rock and heartfelt storytelling has captured the hearts of Malaysian youth over the past decade.'
'We're truly honoured to support Midnight Fusic on this exciting journey and invite all fans and music lovers to be part of this defining moment. It will be a special night — one-of-a-kind, and utterly unforgettable.'
For Midnight Fusic, this concert is an opportunity to connect more intimately with fans, whether they've followed the band loudly or quietly over the years.
'We're bringing a brand-new setlist, a new song, & new visuals – the whole experience is something fresh. I'm genuinely excited to connect with our fans in this new way. This show isn't just another gig; it's a new chapter for MF. I am looking forward to being together in a space with our fans where everyone can come together as one and share our journey,' said Arif, the band's vocalist.
The band also considers Sept 14 a dream come true, born out of their love for music and deep appreciation for fan support.
'I think it's because the whole concept is like us making the show for our fans. We're coming back with this concert again with more new songs. We curated the setlist to have a storyline. I'm excited to go through that journey of storytelling, of the past of MF, and showcasing the new stuff as well.
I know the best moment will be when the first song hits. The anticipation is going to be so hype, the buildup will be so nice, and when the song finally drops, everyone is just immersed. We'll all be in sync — the song, the beat, the crowd, all of us,' said Muaz, the drummer.
'Celebrate our 10 years together. Midnight Fusic Forever and More!' added Adrian and Firdaus.
Expect a night filled with the band's signature vocal dynamics — Arif and Adrian's vocal chemistry, paired with the refined musicianship of Firdaus and Muaz, will create an unforgettable 90-minute experience. Midnight Fusic promises not only music but also a full sensory showcase, with thoughtfully curated visuals, themes, and even scents filling the venue.

'Oldies but goldies' - Malaysian legendary bands Slam and Exist dazzle the crowd at the super concert at Mega Star Arena
Legends are truly the best in their jobs. And Malaysian legendary bands Slam and Exist proved that with some amazing performances that had the fans rocking the night away at the 'Slam X Exists: Our Journey' concert at the Mega Star Arena during the weekend. More than 5,000 fans packed the venue as they swayed to the sound of the two bands, who were among the Malaysian favourites during the late 80s and 90s. Fans also witnessed the historic moment as both bands shared the stage for the first time, turning the night into a time capsule that reopened memories of their love stories, school days, and youthful moments. Local media and according to Bernama, also reported that the concert proved that both bands are far from over, and the show was a brilliant comeback for both groups. Without any over-the-top gimmick, the concert opened with the songs 'Jesnita' and 'Kembali Merindu', performed as a duet by Zamani and Ezad Lazim, causing the entire hall to erupt with cheers and thunderous applause. Once the opening segment ended, Exists - comprising Ezad, Along (guitar), Musa (bass), Ajai (keyboard) and Ujang (drums) - took over the stage and captivated the audience with a string of their hits, including 'Seperti Dulu', 'Anugerah 2', 'Masih Terserlah Ayumu' and 'Mama Tolonglah Percaya'. However, when 'Percayakan Siti' was performed, the audience seemed to fall under a spell, rising to sing and dance along with Ezad. Ezad also took the opportunity to express gratitude to several key figures who shaped the group's career, including composers Boon Tan and Saari Amri, and Datuk Aziz Bakar, who was formerly with BMG Music. "I'm very proud to be able to sing in front of these great individuals. Thanks to their contributions, Exists remains relevant in the industry. We're also lucky to be able to perform songs they created," he said. After Exists finished their set, Slam took the stage with their iconic ballads including 'Nur Kasih', 'Kurnia', 'Suratan', 'Gerimis Mengundang' and 'Manisnya Rindu', transporting the audience back to the golden era of Malay ballads. The mood turned emotional when Slam vocalist Zamani performed 'Untukmu Ibu' with such deep feeling that it moved the audience to tears. Zamani also recited a prayer for their former manager Johan Aziz, who is currently battling cancer. "We want to express our appreciation to a man who worked tirelessly to bring Slam to this level - Johan Aziz. Let's all pray for his full recovery," he said on behalf of Slam, which also includes Shah (guitar), Eddie (keyboard), Lili (bass) and Man (drums). After nearly three hours, both bands reunited to perform 'Kembali Terjalin' and a 2025 version of 'Alasanmu', before closing the show to endless applause and cheers from fans. "If it still feels like it's not enough, come to our concert in Singapore," Ezad teased before leaving the stage. The two bands will unite again at The Star Theatre on November 29. The KL concert, which lasted more than three hours, was organised by SS Karya Venture and Republic Mokhmah Records.
