The highly anticipated concert A.R. Rahman Live in Kuala Lumpur 2024, organized by Star Planet, enthralled a full house at Bukit Jalil National Stadium last Saturday, 27th July, 2024. The legendary composer and musician AR Rahman, accompanied by renowned singers such as Mano, Srinivas, AR Ameen, Shwetha Mohan, Shakthishree Gopalan, ADK, Blaaze, Sri Rascol, and more, delivered an unforgettable evening of music and entertainment.
The stage production was a visual and auditory spectacle, elevated by the integration of cutting-edge audio-visual technology and the impressive performance of over 30 dancers. Their intricate choreography added a dynamic and captivating element to the show, making for an exhilarating and memorable experience. Every detail of the stage was thoughtfully curated to ensure optimal sound quality, reflecting the artist’s high standards and commitment to delivering a flawless performance. The combination of advanced technological elements and exceptional live artistry created a truly immersive and unforgettable concert experience for the audience.
The Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dato’ Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim, and the Deputy Minister of Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives, Datuk R. Ramanan, graced the concert with their esteemed presence, adding a touch of distinction to an already spectacular evening filled with mesmerizing music and performances. Their arrival was met with great enthusiasm and applause, as the audience warmly acknowledged their support for the arts and culture.
With an audience of 35,000 attendees, the event was carefully orchestrated to highlight Rahman’s musical brilliance while maintaining excellent crowd management and ensuring an unforgettable experience for every guest. Every detail, from logistical planning to the execution of performances, was meticulously handled to create a seamless and immersive experience.
“Seeing a turnout of 35,000 attendees achieved in such a short time since his last performance underscores Rahman’s immense popularity and enduring appeal. It is a privilege to bring A.R. Rahman and these talented artists to our city. Their performances tonight have touched the hearts of everyone present,” said Dato Alan Foo, Managing Director of Star Planet, expressing his delight at the great turnout and the opportunity to organize such an iconic event in Kuala Lumpur.
Fans from across the globe, including a notable contingent of international visitors from India and Singapore, flocked to the concert. Rahman’s captivating performance struck a profound chord with these attendees, underscoring the event’s status as a premier cultural and musical highlight in Malaysia. The concert’s appeal extended beyond local borders, drawing a diverse audience and solidifying its reputation as a significant cultural celebration.
In a meaningful gesture, seven orphanages were invited to attend the concert. “We hope to provide children who might not otherwise have the chance with the opportunity to experience the magic of live music,” said Dato R. Rajendran, Director of Star Planet. This initiative reflects Star Planet’s commitment to supporting charitable causes as part of its ongoing corporate social responsibility efforts. The organizer frequently collaborates with CSR Malaysia to reach out to and contribute to those in need across the nation.
Having successfully organized nearly 150 world-class concerts, this event marks Star Planet’s first World Tour featuring an Indian superstar.

WME represents a roster of prominent global stars, including Ben Affleck, Hugh Jackman, Michelle Williams, Christian Bale, Matt Damon, and Jennifer Garner.
The impressive three-and-a-half-hour concert, showcasing a mix of Rahman’s timeless classics and recent compositions, kept the audience enthralled from start to finish. The event featured a range of soulful melodies and dynamic performances, with each artist adding to a rich musical experience that appealed to fans of all ages.
