'Thankfully, this year the timing aligned, and we're excited to finally present EMPAT Live in Kuala Lumpur 2025 as planned,' Anuar added. For Madah Berhelah songstress Ziana, the concert, which fans have requested many times before, will showcase talents from two different generations.

Aside from appearing in several famous local films such as Sembilu and Maria Mariana, she was also the first Malaysian female artist to win the 1995 Voice of Asia competition in Kazakhstan. Her brother Anuar also achieved significant success in the local music industry. He began his career as part of the child duo Anuar & Ellina back in the 1980s. After spending around 10 years as a Malaysia Airlines flight attendant, Anuar returned to the music industry with his self-titled album in 1998 and has since released several other albums and a slew of highly acclaimed tracks such as Sedetik Lebih, Lelaki Ini, and Bila Resah. He received numerous accolades throughout the years, including Best Male Vocalist at the Anugerah Industri Muzik (AIM) in 1998. Both Anuar and Ziana are known for their exceptional vocal range.
