@sunwaycitykualalumpur Concert planning is crucial to keeping the fun and good vibes going. If you're looking to jump, shout, and experience a night to remember at the @neon_musicfestival this 6th October 2023 at the #AmazingSunwayCity ♬ original sound - Sunway City Kuala Lumpur
Artists all around the world are returning with full-blown world tours – with some big names being Taylor Swift, Coldplay, Post Malone and more. Similarly, Sunway’s very own Neon Music Festival (Halloween Edition) is happening this 6th of October with a world-class lineup! (Yes, 2023 is the year to remember!)
We’ve prepared a guide to getting ready and making the most out of your next concert to have the time of your life:
Explore your transportation options
The majestic SCKL shuttle is here to pick you up!
If the concert you’re attending is at Sunway Lagoon’s Surf Beach, you can conveniently get there via the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) – Sunway Line. These electric buses run atop a dedicated elevated track, so you can breeze through the traffic in style! Just hop on from one of the six stations across Sunway City Kuala Lumpur, extended from USJ 7.
You can also take the #AmazingSunwayCity shuttle bus as it provides direct access from various key hotspots in Sunway City Kuala Lumpur to your concert venue. Both services are air-conditioned with ample leg space and well designed ventilation systems – easing your journey to watch your dream artist live!
Bring a power bank
Better safe than sorry with a power bank from MI!
Worried about your phone going flat mid-recording during your favourite act? Yeah, we know how it feels. This is why power banks are essential for concerts! Browse through a range of reliable and high quality power banks at MI Store, Sunway Pyramid and call it your ride or die!
Known for their premium power banks, grab Xiao MI’s latest 20000mAh Mi Power Bank 3 Pro and never worry about your phone tapping out for the live Insta updates! (PS: Don’t record the whole concert though!) You can even be the lifeline for your friends throughout the night!
Rejuvenate with Jom Chá by Farm Fresh
We can’t lie – attending a concert can be a sport. Fortunately, you can drop by Jom Chá just around the corner in Sunway Lagoon for an energy boost! Jom Chá is an exquisite boba milk tea chain by Malaysian dairy company Farm Fresh, serving milk tea and yoghurt soft serve meticulously crafted to perfection. Aligning with Farm Fresh’s healthy branding, Jom Chá’s drinks are made with fresh milk, 30% lesser sugar, and seaweed-based pearls – a healthier alternative to other milk tea options!
Explore the assortment of dining options at Sunway Lagoon!
If milk tea is not to your fancy, there are also a range of eateries around the area – from local delights to international cuisines. There’s no waiting in line hungry!
Rock a sling bag from Uniqlo
These Uniqlo mini shoulder bags can fit more than you think!
Being hands-free is the best way to enjoy a concert to the fullest as you can whip up some moves freely to your favourite tunes! Cue Uniqlo’s iconic sling bag – the Round Mini Shoulder Bag, that is functional, stylish, and ultra comfortable. It features an adjustable shoulder strap with lightweight yet durable material, ensuring your belongings are tucked safely by your side throughout the night!
Need more convincing? Its water-resistant design ensures that your belongings are protected against sudden showers of rain or water spills. With the amount of things you can fit into this snug bag, we’d say a Uniqlo sling bag is a concert essential, so head on over to Uniqlo, Sunway Pyramid!
Bring a poncho in case it pours
May the weather Gods be nice to us outdoor concert-goers!
The Malaysian weather could literally and figuratively rain on your parade. It is always wise to bring along a poncho just in case it pours during the concert, and what better place to grab an inexpensive and reliable poncho than MR. DIY at Sunway Pyramid?
Their ponchos come in a variety of sizes and colours to suit any concert fits, and they are made from water-resistant nylon fabric that is designed to keep out even the heaviest of showers! With its lightweight design and convenient packing size, these ponchos are easy to carry with you wherever you go.
Slide into comfortable footwear from Skechers
Concert tip: Wear comfortable shoes.
Dancing all night calls for the comfiest shoes that are easy to move around in. Skechers' shoes feature innovative designs and superior comfort, enabling you to move freely throughout the night without sore feet or blisters. This is attributed to their lightweight material that provides breathability, quality cushioning for maximum comfort and non-slip soles to prevent accidents!
You can find a wide range of styles in Skechers – from classic sneakers to stylish ankle boots and trendy sandals, there's something for everyone! What’s more is that they’re priced at an affordable range, making them accessible to anyone looking for comfortable yet chic footwear for a fun night out.
Keep yourself hydrated
It’s important to hydrate when you’re queuing in line in the scorching Malaysian heat, especially so when water bottles are not allowed in the venue. There are water stations available all across Sunway Lagoon, so get your water’s fill before the concert so you don’t get dehydrated!
Be present and enjoy the show!
Party away like there’s no tomorrow!
SCKL’s suggestion: Put away distractions like phones and cameras, and be present for your favourite artist performing on stage! Let the music consume you while you dance and sing your heart out – along with the fellow fans around you! Stay safe and have fun at Amazing Sunway City!
