The concert had been highly anticipated since tickets went on sale in June, with prices ranging from RM298 to RM1,888 for VIP seats.
Fans eagerly awaited the night for months, and the overwhelming positive feedback shows how impactful Bruno’s performance was in Malaysia.
However, amidst the excitement, some fans were not as welcoming due to past controversies.
Following Bruno’s canceled concert in Tel Aviv, Israel in 2022 due to the ongoing conflict, some fans voiced concerns, accusing Bruno of supporting Zionism.
This sparked calls for boycotts, as seen in the comments on Live Nation Malaysia’s announcement, with fans urging others not to attend his concert as a protest against his perceived political stance.
Despite this controversy, the concert in Kuala Lumpur was a massive success, cementing Bruno Mars’ status as one of the most beloved international performers in Malaysia.
