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.

'Yup, you heard it right' - Malaysian very own spice girls Elite are back together again for a solo concert
The Malaysian all-group Elite, our very own spice girls, who ruled the roost in the South-East Asia region in the 90s, are all back to entertain their fans. The group, consisting of Linda Rafar, Sasha Saidin, Watie Sadali, Abby Abadi and Azza, will present the "ELITE LIVE 25 - 'Tamparan'" to fans at the Plenary Hall in Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre on Sept 20. Formed in 1995, Elite was the first act signed under KRU Records. They won rave reviews with their albums including "Catwalk, Tamparan, Idola, Selamat Tinggal Teman, G.I.G. and Merbahaya", had many followers here and including fans in Singapore, Brunei and Indonesia. Organised by Icon Entertainment, the ELITE LIVE '25 concert will feature all five original members taking centre stage at the KL venue . 'Organising ELITE LIVE '25 at the Plenary Hall of the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre on Sept 20 is a project that has gone through several phases of research, planning and implementation, all of which were not done carelessly. 'As an organiser, Icon Entertainment is aware that we ourselves have organised many concerts. The local and Nusantara entertainment industry is also lively with the many concerts among my other organising friends and this shows how healthy our industry is. 'So organising ELITE LIVE '25 is not a catch-up organisation because concerts are currently hyped but seeing how relevant this girl band is to hold a large-scale concert that matches their existence. 'Organising ELITE LIVE '25 will be an important history not only for this group but for the music industry in general because the great works created by them in the 90s, for example, are still popular,' said Iman Tang, the founder of Icon Entertainment. Meanwhile Linda, said 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 when playing at a large-scale concert. When we received the offer from Icon Entertainment, we had mixed feelings at first but eventually agreed to it. Now, we just want to give it a real go and make all our fans go back to our heyday. 'This decision takes into account that the works created for Elite are still popular, still relevant, and we want to party with our old and new fans. Surely, we can promise all it will be a very interesting night and yes, exciting time for all,' Linda said. Tickets for ELITE LIVE '25: GIG (RM1088 - with Meet & Greet and refreshment), MANISNYA SENYUMANMU (RM588), CATWALK (RM268), TAMPARAN WANITA (RM268).
