#SHOWBIZ: Rockology Concert Tour 2025 in JB going on as planned

JOHOR BAHRU: The Rockology Concert Tour 2025, scheduled for this Saturday in Johor, will proceed as planned. In a statement released today, Datuk Ahmad Azhar Othman, also known as Awie, who is both the concert producer and a performer, addressed recent social media rumours suggesting the concert's cancellation. "We deny such claims," he said. "Preparations are progressing smoothly, with final technical and security arrangements currently underway." Awie added, "I believe many fans are eagerly looking forward to reliving the rock spirit and reviving the nostalgic vibe of the 1980s and 1990s with us in Johor. Regardless, we will rock EduCity as promised. God willing... Don't believe the baseless talk. See you all at Rockology on July 5, and bring your rock spirit, and let's sing together." The concert, to be held at the EduCity Sports Complex in Iskandar Puteri, promises an exclusive performance featuring two legendary names in Malaysian rock history: Awie and Search (Kid Din). They will unite on stage to electrify the southern region of the country. Datuk Eddy, Director of concert organiser RPM Events, commented, "Rockology is more than just a concert; it's a movement to reignite the true spirit of rock. We are committed to delivering an extraordinary concert experience and deeply appreciate the continued trust and support from fans and sponsors alike."

#SHOWBIZ: RPM Group of Companies organises Awie, Kid and Din rock tour

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's entertainment industry has marked a new chapter with the official launch of RPM Group of Companies, a collective of three dynamic entities: Rumah Produksi Merah Sdn. Bhd., RPM Events Sdn. Bhd., and RPM Labels Sdn. Bhd. The launch event showcased the group's vision, with Rumah Produksi Merah positioned as a leader in creative content production, encompassing drama series, films, and high-impact entertainment programmes. RPM Events will specialise in event management, focusing on concerts, music festivals, corporate events, and large-scale productions. Meanwhile, RPM Labels will concentrate on artiste development, music production, and talent discovery. "The establishment of RPM Group is more than just a combination of companies; it's a movement to strengthen Malaysia's entertainment industry with a more professional, structured, and impactful approach," said Datuk Eddy Amir Salim, a director of RPM Group of Companies, in a statement today. He added: "With these three entities operating in synergy, we believe we can produce works that are not only entertaining but also provide value to society and the nation." The launch also served as the platform for the announcement of the Rockology Concert Tour 2025, a nationwide initiative by RPM Events aimed at reigniting the passion for Malaysian rock music. The tour will feature iconic figures in the country's rock scene: Datuk Awie, and Kid and Din of Search. Awie, whose real name is Ahmad Azhar Othman, expressed his enthusiasm for the project: "I accepted the invitation to be involved in the Rockology Concert Tour 2025 because I believe in the mission and spirit behind it. It's not just a regular concert tour; it's a movement to revive the soul of rock in this country." Awie also highlighted the tour's social impact: "Part of the funds or profits obtained from this concert will be channelled to our upcoming CSR program, Konsert Wings Dalam Penjara, a project specifically designed to support communities in need of attention and rehabilitation support. This is our way of giving back to the community, especially those who are often marginalised." Eddy echoed this sentiment, stating, "The establishment of RPM Group of Companies is a crucial step in consolidating our expertise within the entertainment landscape." "The Rockology Concert Tour 2025 marks the beginning of our mission to elevate the local rock scene to a more professional, sustainable, and organised level. "We welcome sponsors and strategic partners to join us in making this concert a resounding success, not just as a music platform, but as a cultural and social movement," he said. The Rockology Concert Tour 2025 is set to take place at two locations: Midtown Perda, Penang, on June 21, and EduCity Sports Complex, Johor, on July 5. The tour is expected to draw a crowd of up to 15,000 rock music enthusiasts from both Malaysia and Singapore.
