#SHOWBIZ: Midnight Fusic set for landmark solo concert
KUALA LUMPUR: The acclaimed Malaysian band Midnight Fusic is gearing up for their highly anticipated debut solo concert, Midnight Fusic Forevermore 2025, at Zepp Kuala Lumpur on Sept 14.
Formed in 2013, the band has steadily cultivated a loyal fanbase both in Malaysia and internationally. Comprising Arif Kamarudin (vocals, guitar), Adrian Danial (vocals, guitar), Firdaus Azmi (bass), and Muaz Rabbani (drums), Midnight Fusic delivers a compelling blend of alternative rock and rich pop melodies.
Their music, characterised by catchy hooks, emotive vocals, and dynamic instrumentation, appeals to both rock enthusiasts and mainstream listeners alike.
Last year marked a significant surge in Midnight Fusic's momentum as they graced numerous live events, including Riuh, MLBB 8th Anniversary Music Party, YSL Beauty, Zus: Lokal Kasi Vocal, and Last Dinosaurs: Live in KL.
Expanding their reach beyond Malaysian borders, the band also performed in South Korea at the Incheon Record Platform 2024 and the Newtro Rhythm Global Music Tour 2024.
They have previously appeared at We The Fest in Indonesia and Baybeats in Singapore, and have opened for international acts such as Boys Like Girls and LANY during their concerts in Kuala Lumpur.
The band's vibrant musical journey was further amplified with the release of their latest EP, Modus Operandi, in May, following their self-titled debut album in February 2021.
Their 2020 single, 'Sandiwara', marked a pivotal moment as their first Malay-language track.
With all the preparations complete, Sept 14 is poised to be a momentous occasion.
The band, crowned Band of the Year at The Platform Awards 2020, is set to present their most significant show to date: their inaugural solo concert.
For Midnight Fusic, this concert represents a crucial opportunity to forge a deeper connection with their fans.
"We're bringing a brand-new setlist, a new song, and new visuals," shared Arif.
"The whole experience is something fresh. I'm genuinely excited to connect with our fans in this new way. "This show isn't just another gig; it's a new chapter for us. I'm looking forward to being together in a space with our fans where everyone can come together as one and share our journey."
He added, "We have curated the setlist to have a storyline. I'm excited to go through that journey of storytelling, of the band's past and showcasing the new stuff as well."
