#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.
