90s Girl Group Elite To Hold First Solo Concert This September; Ticketing & Seating Plan Announced
Before there was DOLLA, Malaysia had another girl group that dominated the charts in the 1990s – Elite. Comprised of members Azza, Abby, Sasha, Linda and Watie, the group made their debut in 1995 with the duet 'Diari Metropolitan' alongside KRU, which was later featured on the latter's album 'Ooh! La! La!', released the following year.
It's been a while since they last performed for fans, but now Elite are making a comeback, bigger and better than ever. Earlier this week, the group announced that they will be holding their first-ever solo concert this September.
'WE ARE BACK!', the group said in the announcement post on Monday (23rd June). 3 decades after their debut, Elite are set to mark a major milestone in their career with their first-ever solo concert, held in celebration of their 30th anniversary. Named 'ELITE LIVE '25', fans will get to enjoy the band's most iconic hits in Kuala Lumpur.
'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 during the press conference.

Iconic 1990s girl group Elite to reunite in special concert
Elite was once dubbed Malaysia's Spice Girls. Photo: Handout After nearly three decades away from large-scale performances, the popular all-female group of the 1990s, Elite, is set to make a comeback through a special concert Elite'25 on Sept 20. Organised by Icon Entertainment, the show will take place at the Plenary Hall, Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC). All five original members - Linda Rafar, Sasha Saidin, Watie Sadali, Abby Abad and Azza - are set to reunite in a nostalgic performance marking the 30th anniversary of the group's formation. Icon Entertainment founder Iman Tang said the concert is being organised in response to overwhelming demand from fans who want Elite to return after its brief appearance at the GenKRU concert. "After the GenKRU concert, we received many requests to see Elite perform live again because many fans felt its appearance was too short. After discussions, we decided to make it happen and believe this concert will rekindle fond memories among the fans,' he said at a recent press conference. He added the concert is not only to celebrate three decades of Elite in the local music scene but also aims to revive the atmosphere of 1990s music with a modern and professional approach. The upcoming concert will see fans getting the chance to experience live performances of Elite's popular hits such as Trauma, Tamparan Wanita , Manisnya Senyumanmu, Sesuatu Di Dalam Dirimu and G.I.G by the original members of the group, once dubbed Malaysia's Spice Girls. Elite member Abby admitted she initially felt nervous about returning to the stage after being inactive for so long. "To be honest, we were worried about many things because, as everyone knows, Elite has not been active for a long time, let alone performing on stage. "However, after reviewing the plans presented by Iman and seeing the continued strong support from fans, Elite finally agreed to go ahead with the concert,' she said. For Linda, the chance to perform again on a grand stage was incredibly exciting after such a long time apart as a group. "What we miss most is being on stage and entertaining our fans with our own songs. This is a big responsibility and we will try our best to give it our all,' she said. Fans can purchase tickets starting June 26 at with prices ranging from RM268 to RM1,088. – Bernama

#SHOWBIZ: Elite to hold first solo concert in September
KUALA LUMPUR: Popular 1990s Malaysian girl group Elite are reuniting for a solo concert in conjunction with their 30th anniversary. Harian Metro reported yesterday that 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 Sept 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. 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 an appearance during one of the four-day shows. "It's been quite a while since we performed live together. When we received the offer from Icon Entertainment, we had mixed feelings at first but eventually agreed to it. "Our songs are still popular and we want to reconnect with 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.
