Kuala Lumpur-based rising idol group, KLP48, is set to celebrate its anticipated 1st Anniversary with a special concert titled “〜BLOOM〜”.
Organised by 48 Entertainment Sdn Bhd, the concert will be happening on Saturday, 16 August at 5.30pm at Zepp Kuala Lumpur. The celebratory concert will highlight the vibrant talents of KLP48 in an evening filled with live performances, high-energy choreography and cross-cultural idol camaraderie.
Formed in 2024 to Japan’s globally-renowned AKB48, KLP48 represents the Southeast Asian expansion of the “idols you can meet” concept, pioneered by iconic producer Yasushi Akimoto. The group features 13 members: 7 Malaysians, 4 Japanese, 1 Indonesian and 1 from Hong Kong.
In preparation for the August performance, the group also has been immersed in intensive rehearsals and behind-the-scenes planning including vocal training, choreography sessions, and collaborative discussions on setlists and production design.
Adding to the excitement, the concert will feature special pre-show appearances by three highly anticipated guest acts.
COËX, a rising all-female pop group from Malaysia, is known for their youthful energy and catchy girl-power anthems that have made waves across local streaming platforms.
Ismail Izzani, one of Malaysia’s most prominent young solo singers, brings a mix of R&B and pop that has earned him millions of plays and a strong fanbase since his breakout debut at age 17.
Also joining the celebration is JKT48, the Indonesian sister group of AKB48 and the first overseas group in the 48 Group family.
