KUALA LUMPUR — Despite KL having several high-capacity stadiums and venues for concerts and live performances, their availability is still not guaranteed. 

According to Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) Hannah Yeoh, this is due to the overwhelming demand for Perbadanan Stadium Malaysia’s (PBM) venues for concerts and live events all year round.

Currently, the venues managed by PBM include the TM National Stadium (previously known as Bukit Jalil National Stadium) and the Unifi Arena Bukit Jalil (previously known as Axiata Arena).

PBM has also recently reopened the National Hockey Stadium in Bukit Jalil for concerts and live events to cater to this demand. 

“Moving forward I do believe that the private sector can also play their part because the indoor stadium in Bukit Jalil is fully booked every weekend, that just shows how vibrant our live entertainment scene is. 

“We don’t even need to rely on international artists to fill up (these venues), the indoor stadium is constantly full. 

“This shows that there’s a real appetite for concerts here,” Yeoh said during the launch of KL Headline Season 2026 on Monday.  

Yeoh added that interested parties can get in touch with PBM to discuss further collaborations to expand concert venues in KL.
