It looks like Radja’s plan to celebrate their 25th anniversary in Malaysia is not coming to fruition, as it was revealed that the band’s “Love & Story” concert has been cancelled.

The news was announced by organiser Dhyah Production, in collaboration with Infinity Love Creative Ventures, saying that the decision was made after taking into account internal technical operational aspects as well as the current situation which did not allow the concert to continue as planned.

“We understand the disappointment of fans who have been eagerly awaiting Radja’s presence in Kuala Lumpur. This decision was made with great regret after considering various aspects related to the organisation,” the company stated, adding that they appreciate all the support and understanding.

Following the cancellation, the organiser will contact all ticket buyers via email to inform them of the refund process. It will be implemented through the official ticket sales platform, myticket.asia.

Back in June, the organiser announced that the concert, which was set to be held at the Bukit Jalil National Hockey Stadium, was rescheduled from 11 July to 19 September.

Following the spectacular performance at the 40th Anugerah Juara Lagu (AJL40), Aina Abdul will officially represent Malaysia at the Eurovision Song Contest Asia 2026.

Aina, who competed with her song “Kamu” at the Malaysian annual music competition, won the Best Performance Award as well as the Shopee Voted Artist Icon Award, which was determined through fan votes. She mesmerised audiences through a dramatic and energetic performance, featuring visuals of an erupting volcano to symbolise her mounting emotions, alongside the use of props and powerful vocal delivery.

Her movements, expressions and vocals drew the audience into the song’s intense emotions of anger, disappointment and loss, making the performance one of the most memorable moments of the grand finale.

Following AJL, Aina will now take the next step, heading to Eurovision Song Contest Asia 2026, the competition that will bring together talented singers from across Asia for a two-hour live music event.

Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), Eurovision has been held annually since 1956 and has evolved from a European music competition into a global cultural phenomenon transcending geographical and cultural boundaries.

Aina’s distinctive performances, as well as her creativity in musical composition, fashion and visual elements, are expected to give Malaysia an advantage on the international stage.

The participation also provides Aina with an opportunity to showcase her talent and identity as an entertainer to audiences across Asia.

Eurovision Song Contest Asia 2026 will take place on Saturday, 14 November 2026, at 9.00pm, and will be broadcast live on TV3 and Tonton.

All seven members of BTS — RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook — simultaneously posted the same statement on their individual Instagram accounts today, announcing that they will not submit their music for consideration at the 69th Grammy Awards, scheduled for February 7, 2027.

Their joint statement reads:

“We have decided not to submit our music to the Grammys this year. We hope music can be heard and loved for what it is, rather than being divided by region or language. We are grateful to ARMY and everyone who is always with us.”

The announcement comes just over a month after the Recording Academy unveiled a new category for the 2027 Grammys — Best Asian Pop Music Performance — intended to recognise K-pop, J-pop and C-pop on the global stage.

The category immediately sparked backlash, with many arguing it could sideline Asian artists from competing for the Grammys’ biggest honours — Record of the Year, Album of the Year and Song of the Year.

The seven-member South Korean group widely credited with bringing K-pop to a global mainstream audience. Their 2026 comeback album Arirang debuted at No.1 on the Billboard 200 following the completion of their mandatory military service. Their ongoing world tour has broken records worldwide, and the group headlined the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final Halftime Show alongside Madonna, Shakira and Justin Bieber just ten days ago.

Despite multiple Grammy nominations over the years, BTS has never won. This year, expectations for a first win had been higher than ever — making today’s announcement all the more significant.
