17 Things Concert 'Kakis' Go Through When Their Favourite Bands Come To Malaysia

There is so much more to going to concerts than simply showing up and singing along with the crowd.


1. "OMG OMG Malaysia?! Sure it's not Singapore??"
I can't believe The Script is going to breathe the same air as me!

2. "Aiyah, why are tickets so expensive?"

3. Buys ticket(s) anyway

4. Some spent too much time thinking. Now tickets are sold out.
How am I gonna see Ed Sheeran now?!

5. Desperately search the Internet and listen to the radio for contests and giveaways
You might just be lucky enough to score some free tickets and backstage passes to meet your favourite artiste in person!

6. Take leave or skip school to queue up early on the day of the concert
Some fans are probably staying overnight just to get close enough to the stage and (gasp) Taeyang oppa!

7. Make sure phones, tablets and power banks are fully charged
Double check, triple check, and check again. No moment shall go unrecorded.

8. Wish you were one of the fans who scored meet-and-greet passes
What I wouldn't give to meet Ed Sheeran in person. (sighs melodramatically)

9. Protect your spot in the queue like a mother hen guards her chicks. DO NOT EVEN THINK OF CUTTING THE LINE, YE MORTALS!
Oh no you didnt

10. "Bouncer PLEASE DON'T CONFISCATE MY MINERAL WATER!"

11. RACE TO THE FRONT LIKE USAIN BOLT after ushers tear your ticket stub!

12. Constantly checking your watch because five minutes feels like an hour!
The loooooong wait for the concert to begin is an ultimate test of patience, especially after the opening acts have finished their set. The wait in-between is THE ABSOLUTE WORST.

13. But all is forgiven when your idol(s) FINALLY appear on stage!

14. Your legs turn to jelly when the lead singer winks at you. Perasan la konon...

15. There is no better feeling of unity than when the singer leads the crowd on a massive sing-a-long

16. The band throws guitar picks and towels to the crowd, but your bad luck makes sure none of it reaches you

17. Spend whatever money you have left on official merch to commemorate the best day of your life
