Upcoming concerts and music festivals in Hong Kong and Macau 2024

After performing in Hong Kong back in February, charismatic Thai singer Jeff Satur is bringing his world tour to Macau’s stage soon. Though he’s only been making music for a few years, Satur has already garnered plenty of attention with his blend of pop, R&B, hip-hop, rock, and 80s sounds. If you didn’t manage to see him in Hong Kong and missed his sold-out shows in Singapore, Indonesia, and Bangkok, then the Macau leg of his debut album tour would be a good chance to experience this versatile talent and his visual spectacles. Tickets run from $699 to $1,799.

Pop-rock sensation Olivia Rodrigo is currently on tour around America, the UK, and Europe until August, but she has just announced that nine dates will be added to the show, bringing Rodrigo to her first-ever run in Asia and Australia. The Asia leg of the Guts world tour will kick off in Bangkok, before moving through Seoul, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore, Melbourne, and Sydney.

Hong Kong fans, mark your calendars for September 24. Ticket prices have yet to be fully announced, but there will be pre-sales for American Express card holders, as well as a Live Nation pre-sale opening on May 16, while general sales begin on May 17. For an elevated experience, check out the VIP package, which includes priority access to the pit, a VIP bar throughout the night, a specially designed VIP gift item, and more.

We can’t wait to see this multi-platinum, three-time Grammy winner perform hits like obsessed, good 4 u, drivers license, and ballad of a homeschooled girl – expect to emerge having screamed yourself hoarse.

If you were into J-pop during the early 2000s, you’ll remember the pop trio w-inds. among other music acts such as Arashi, Kat-tun, Morning Musume, News, and many more. In a very welcome blast from the past, w-inds. have announced that they’re embarking on a short Asia tour, themed after nostalgia, which will see them performing some of their greatest hits from their career of over 20 years. 

Though Ryuichi Ogata has left the group in 2020, we have no doubt that rapper and supporting vocalist Ryohei Chiba and lead singer Keita Tachibana are more than up to snuff for putting on a good show. Fans can most likely look forward to their old bubblegum pop hits like Feel the fate, Super Lover, and Long Road, as well as bangers from their ballad era such as Shiki, Deny, and Dedicated to you. 

Tickets range from $980 to $1,480. Ticket holders who purchase official merch at the concert venue will be entered into the lucky draw for a hi touch session with w-inds., and depending on the ticket tier, concertgoers will also receive signed Polaroid pictures and signed posters. Visit their social media for more information on which tiers receive which freebies.

Following from their Hong Kong concert last August, indie pop band Lany are once again returning to our shores later this year in October. Their world tour comes straight off the back of their new studio album ‘a beautiful blur’, with hit tracks such as Alonica, XXL, and Cause You Have To. Let’s place bets on whether they’ll be performing the studio or ‘Hopeless’ stripped back version of Love At First Fight at the live concert. Prices have yet to be released, but fans can secure the first round of tickets at the artist presale on March 11, while the Live Nation presale is available for members on March 13. General sales will then start on March 14.

Platinum British singer Anne-Marie has just announced that she’ll be embarking on an Asia tour this September and October, playing in Osaka, Manila, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taipei. We love her brand of musical authenticity that deals with highly personal subject matters like body image issues, cheating in relationships, and gender-free love, and we can’t wait to experience it live. 

Tickets run from $699 to $799, with the $799 tier split into either seated or standing. The presale for Live Nation members will begin at 3pm on May 23, while general public sales will be released on May 24.
