17 August 2014

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA, 17 AUGUST 2014 – The MTV World Stage Malaysia 2014 music party landed on Surf Beach, Sunway Lagoon on Saturday, 16 August 2014, and it was a night to remember! The stellar line-up of performers B.o.B, Yuna, Boys Republic and Thaitanium rocked the stage in Malaysia with a collective explosion of R&B, hip-hop and K-pop performances to a live audience of over 10,000 fans.


Thaitanium opened the night and wowed the audience with an upbeat 11-track medley, which included an inaugural performance of their new single with Snoop Dogg, “Wake Up (Bangkok City)”. The five sons of Siam – KHAN, WAY, DAY, BIG CALO and Tony B – got the audience rocking and really set the mood for the night. They performed songs like “Do What I Say”, “Bong Tong”, “Put Your Hands Up” and “Sukebe”.




Kicking off their performance with “You Are Special”, Boys Republic made their MTV World Stage debut with a bang as the stage ignited with a burst of fire power, matched by their fans’ screaming frenzy. The boys charmed the audience as they interacted with fans and expressed their love in returning to Malaysia. The audience was surprised with a maiden performance of Boys Republic’s remix of “Video Game” on the MTV World Stage Malaysia, where fans were invited to post 15-second mobile phone clips on Instagram to #worldstagemyfancam. One lucky fan, who won Boys Republic’s “Girlfriend” contest, was introduced during “Dress Up”, leaving hearts racing throughout the performance. The winner was curated towards a new Korean look by the K-Pop group’s stylist and received a wardrobe she strutted proudly on-stage as the boys serenaded her. Their show culminated with fan favourite, “Party Rock”.



The crowd gave a rousing welcome to their home girl, Yuna as she was elevated elegantly on to the stage, singing “Falling” against a backdrop of waterfall pyrotechnics. She enticed with soulful, intoxicating renditions on the MTV World Stage, including “Mountains”, “Lelaki” and “Dan Sebanarya”, “Lights And Camera” and “Terukir Di Bintang”. She mesmerized fans as she performed “Rescue” with her ukulele. The Malaysian superstar then wrapped up her set on MTV World Stage Malaysia with an absolutely magical performance of “Come Back”.




Returning to Malaysia, B.o.B heightened the crowd’s energy level as he kicked off his set with a spectacular display of lights as his backdrop. The international rapper impressed the audience with an energetic performance comprising of a 16-track medley that kept the audience bobbing to tracks like “Don’t Let Me Fall”, “Ready ft. Future”, “Headband ft. 2 Chainz”, “John Doe ft. Priscilla” and “So Good”. At the start of feel good song “Magic”, B.o.B headed over to his fans and exchanged high fives with them, showing his down-to-earth side. A master at thrilling his fans, B.o.B took live performances to the next level as he cheekily stole a phone from the audience to snap a selfie. MTV World Stage Malaysia 2014 was lit up with a beautiful scene of the audience waving their mobile phones to a soulful performance of “Both of Us ft. Taylor Swift”. It was a poignant moment when B.o.B dedicated global hit song “Airplanes ft. Hayley Williams of Paramore”, to all those who had lost loved ones in recent tragedies. Much to the delight of the audience, B.o.B teased fans and went crowd surfing, before delivering his finale “Still In This”, which was met with streamers and over 1,000 multi-colored LED balloons thrown into them.

This year’s MTV World Stage Insider made his debut on-stage to loud applause from local fans who cheered for their fellow Malaysian. MTV World Stage Malaysia made college student Aric Ting’s dreams come true as he was picked to be the MTV World Stage Insider 2014, giving him an all access backstage pass to capture behind the scenes moments and first-hand insider information.

MTV WORLD STAGE MALAYSIA 2014 REVEALS FIRST WAVE OF ARTISTS WITH ITS RETURN ON 16 AUGUST 2014
HOMEGROWN INTERNATIONAL STAR YUNA AND RISING K-POP IDOL GROUP BOYS REPUBLIC TO TAKE THE MTV WORLD STAGE FOR THE FIRST TIME
BROADEST SUITE OF SPONSORS YET IN SHOW’S 6TH YEAR WITH SUNWAY, XPAX, JOHNSON & JOHNSON VISION CARE, HONG LEONG BANK AND WILLIAM GRANT & SONS; WITH SUPPORTING PARTNER TOURISM MALAYSIA


KUALA LUMPUR, 27 MAY 2014 – Save the date, reshuffle your appointments and start planning your trip to Sunway Resort City, Kuala Lumpur, because it is the place to be – come August! MTV, a unit of Viacom Inc. (NASDAQ: VIAB, VIA), has officially announced that MTV World Stage Malaysia is back for the sixth-year running. Recorded live for global telecast, the one-night-only outdoor concert is set to take place at Surf Beach, Sunway Lagoon on Saturday, 16 August 2014. MTV Asia also announced the first two artists gracing the MTV World Stage for the first time – homegrown international singer-songwriter, Yuna; and Universal Music Group International’s first K-pop idol group, Boys Republic, with additional performers to be announced at a later date. MTV VJs Alan and Hanli will again be hosting this year’s concert. A video message from Boys Republic can be viewed HERE.

 “Malaysia has emerged as a major music and entertainment destination for epic concerts and a key stop for international stars visiting the region in recent years with MTV World Stage Malaysia being a part of this scene in the last six years,” said Paras Sharma, Vice President of MTV, Comedy Central and Digital Media, Asia, Viacom International Media Networks. “We can’t wait to share the stage with the world on August 16th, when one of the biggest nights in music happens in Kuala Lumpur. Stay tuned as additional performers will be announced at a later date!”

 Set to welcome an expected live audience of about 15,000 fans, MTV World Stage Malaysia 2014 is sponsored by Sunway, Xpax, Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Hong Leong Bank and William Grant & Sons, and supported by Tourism Malaysia, local broadcast partner, Astro, and local radio partner, hitz.fm.

The announcement was triggered by MTV fans following an Unlock #worldstagemy campaign that was first shared on 27 May through MTV’s social media platforms, hitz.fm and with bloggers. Fans successfully unlocked the announcement details on Tuesday, 27 May, which quickly gathered a frenzy of over 15,000 tweets over six hours. Not only did #worldstagemy top trend in Malaysia, but it also listed as one of the top ten trends worldwide.

 MTV World Stage is a global series that bring multi-genre talents with global relevance, telecast to an audience in over 550 million households. Recorded ‘live’ at the most exclusive gigs, world renowned music festivals and unique concert locations from around the world, the series is the ‘front row seat’ for music lovers to experience the biggest artists on the globe without leaving the comfort of their sofas. MTV World Stage Malaysia is part of this platform that delivers the MTV brand experience not only on the ground with MTV fans in Malaysia, but with a global airing in 154 countries across MTV Networks. The Malaysia show is also MTV’s first originally-produced MTV World Stage event globally, which started in 2009.

 Last year, MTV World Stage Live in Malaysia 2013, which welcomed a whopping 15,000 fans, brought the award-winning and multi-platinum artist, Robin Thicke, along with explosive international sensations, Far East Movement. The concert also featured 12-member K-Pop super group, EXO, and Malaysian Hip Hop pioneer, Joe Flizzow.

 YUNA

In a remarkably short period of time, Yuna has risen from a shy, YouTube sensation to full-on international stardom. In the process, the unique singer-songwriter has become the first artist in Malaysia to break into the American market. The ease with which Yuna has transitioned to border defying mainstream success should not be surprising, considering the effortlessly universal appeal of her organic blend of contemporary pop, acoustic folk and soulful R&B.

 Yuna experienced success early on, with a quartet of popular indie releases in Malaysia, beginning with her self-titled 2008 EP. That debut disc became a major seller at home, producing the hit single “Deeper Conversation.” The following year, Yuna won the first of several Anugerah Industri Muzik awards, Malaysia’s equivalent of the Grammy. During the same period, the artist also found time to attend law school and open IAMJETFUEL, a successful women’s clothing boutique.

 Yuna’s latest album, Nocturnal, was recorded in Los Angeles and marks a major step forward for her. Nocturnal’s 11 sparkling new originals include the warmly intoxicating first single “Falling”, produced by Robin Hannibal of Quadron and the soul-pop group Rhye; the breezy, upbeat “I Wanna Go,” produced by rocker Mike Einziger of iconic modern rock band, Incubus.

 Previously, Yuna had worked with man-of-the-moment, Pharrell Williams who produced her hit single, “Live Your Life”.

 Yuna’s North American breakthrough saw the artist winning widespread acclaim while achieving several significant career milestones – Rolling Stone magazine praised her combination of “certified indie cred and massive pop potential”, while The New York Times described her music as “gorgeous”. She performed high-profile sets at the hugely renowned Lollapalooza and Coachella festivals, and has appeared on shows of popular personalities such as Jimmy Kimmel and Jay Leno.

 BOYS REPUBLIC

Growing rapidly into one of the most popular K-pop boy bands in the region, Boys Republic is a group produced by Universal Music Group and Jung Hae Ik, who also helped produce first generation idols like H.O.T., S.E.S. and g.o.d. The five-member boy group consists of One Junn, Da Bin, Sung Jun, Min Su and Su Woong.

 Boys Republic has been in Universal Music Korea’s pipeline for almost two years until their debut in 2013. The multi-talented boy group was trained in diverse genres of music. Top Korean producer and composer, Keun Tae Park, who has written songs for IU and Ji Young Baek, was appointed as chief music adviser for the group. To ensure strong international appeal, not only did Keun Tae collaborate with Dsign Music, the Norwegian team that wrote for Girls’ Generation, TVXQ and EXO, but the boys have also trained in singing, dancing, acting and the languages and cultures of other countries.

 When Boys Republic released their debut single last June, “Party Rock” along with its music video, the chart-topping song peaked at #1 on iTunes single charts in Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand in 2013. Their song “You Are Special” also peaked at #1 on KKBOX Chart in Malaysia in 2013. Their latest single, “Video Game” made #1 on Dwango K-POP daily chart in Japan in 2014.

 Since then, the promising K-pop idol group has risen quickly to stardom as Boys Republic was declared “Best New Artist” at the 20th Korean Entertainment & Art Awards 2013. The boys were selected as both Jeju Air’s PR Ambassador for 2013 and as Korean Youth Association Ambassador. Additionally, the group has also appeared on SBS MTV in a special eight-episode feature, “Best New Artist, Boys Republic”, which aired June-July 2013.

 Boys Republic returns for their second performance in Malaysia. Voted by fans to close the U.O.X. 2013 in Malaysia, the popular group was the only Korean artist invited for the event.

“Live Cut” Premieres Wednesday, 11th September 2013 @ 9pm (TH/WIB), 10pm (SIN/HK/PH), 11pm (MAL) 
MTV World Stage Live in Malaysia 2013’s full show premiere on Saturday, 21st September 2013 @ 10.30am (TH/WIB), 11.30am (SIN/HK/PH), 12.30pm (MAL)




MALAYSIA, 9 SEPTEMBER 2013 – The annual fever for MTV World Stage Live in Malaysia 2013 has hit Surf Beach at Sunway Lagoon last night, but this year’s heat hits an all-time temperature high with a stellar line-up of all-male performers with Robin Thicke, Far East Movement , EXO and Joe Flizzow, who ignited the stage with a collective explosion of R&B, hip-hop and K-pop performances. Even the rain could not dampen and bring down the fever, as VJ Hanli shouted out, “Malaysia, boleh!” to a live audience of about 15,000 fans.





Joe Flizzow opened the night with an energetic performance of five songs (Iller Iller, Untukmu, All Around My World, Havoc and Who Do It Better), which included a collaboration with SonaOne and Altimet on Havoc.





This was followed by EXO who set the audience into a wild frenzy when they glided, danced and howled through throngs of fans during the show-stopping performance. EXO fans have been queuing up since Friday night in anticipation to meet their well-loved artists and were not disappointed as the twelve-member band enjoyed a short chat with grateful fans and expressed their love for Malaysia. Apart from Wolf, the preppy-looking boys also sang History, 365 and Growl, much to the delight of their young fans. MTV World Stage Live in Malaysia 2013 is EXO’s first performance in Malaysia as a full-member group and on MTV.







Far East Movement accelerated the already frenzied energy level with a twelve-song medley that kept the audience pumping non-stop (Ain’t Coming Down X Wild Things, Like a G6, Illest, So What, If I was You, Jello, Change Your Life, Rocket, Get Up (Rattle), Rocketeer and Live My Life). Fans sang along with Rocketeer, which they remixed with Alicia Keys’ No One. Staying true to their usual party-fun performances, the four-member band gave a few crowd surprises with J-Splif drumming and keyboarding to iPads adorned on his outfit, while DJ Virman did a part-solo performance when he put on a ‘duck-head’ costume. They climaxed their performance with crowd favorite, Turn Up the Love. Fans went wild when Far East Movement threw a larger-than-life inflatable duck into the ‘pool’ of fans, putting the crowd-surfing duck on the loose amongst fans. The biggest hit was when Prohgress threw himself into a crowd-surf too.






Closing the show, against the backdrop of Sunway Lagoon, was the man of the moment, Robin Thicke, who was accompanied by three female vocalists. He delivered a sexy, soulful and fun performance of nine songs, including Give It To You, Take It Easy on Me, Feel Good, Oh Shooter, Lost Without U, Shaking It For Daddy and Blurred Lines.





Thicke encouraged fans to never give up their dreams even if it comes later for some, alluding to his new-found fame that emerged recently. He played an emotionally-charged rendition of Dreamworld in true R&B fashion. Chart-topping Blurred Lines was the obvious audience favorite of his performance, with fans singing alongside with him. He ended with an explosion of fireworks in his final performance with Clique.





Over the last 24 hours, MTV World Stage Live in Malaysia has garnered over 83,000 mentions on MTV World Stage in social media, across Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Last night, MTV World Stage trended in twitter in Malaysia with about 40% of twitter trends in Malaysia related to MTV World Stage and was the top trend at mid-show.





MTV World Stage is a global series that bring multi-genre talents with global relevance, telecast to an audience in over 550 million households. Recorded ‘live’ at the most exclusive gigs, world renowned music festivals and unique concert locations from around the world, the series is the ‘front row seat’ for music lovers to experience the biggest artists on the globe without leaving the comfort of their sofas.
