I didn’t go the the MTV World Stage at Sunway Lagoon this year. Sounds like I’ve missed quite a bit even though I didn’t like any of the acts that much to want to watch them live. However, for those of my friends who went, it sounded like they had a blast.
A record breaking 16,000 fans thronged the venue to catch Justin Bieber, Jay Park, KARA and Mizz Nina perform live.
It wasn’t just the fans who flocked there. Local celebrities, dignitaries and VIPs were in attendance as well. Spotted there were Sona One, Linda Jasmine and Que Haidar, the Korean Ambassador to Malaysia His Excellency Mr. Yang Bong Ryull, the Canadian High Commissioner Randolph Mank, members of Malaysia’s royal families including Kelantan’s Yang Mulia Rania Aaliyah Petri Azahar, Crown Prince of Terengganu Yang Amat Mulia Tengku Muhammad Ismail, Yang Amat Mulia Tengku Muhammad Mua’az and Yang Amat Mulia Tengku Fatimatuz Zahra’.
It was a screamfest when Justin Bieber opened the show with his smash hit “Baby”. Also, Justin Bieber jumped off the stage at one point to shake hands with some lucky fans at the front. Were any of you the lucky fans who managed to touch him?
Anyway, here’s the Bieber setlist:
- Baby
- All Around the World
- As Long as You Love Me
- Die in Your Arms
- Be Alright
- One Time
- Never Say Never
