Well, looks like the Singaporeans trumped us once again. While we Malaysians are still hanging by a thread to see if the 2009 Sunburst KL Music Festival is that awesome to get Coldplay as a headliner on March 21, the Singaporeans have zipped right past us and got them to play a full-blown concert at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on March 23.
Coldplay has just announced Singapore as their latest concert stop on their Viva La Vida world tour, alongside Hong Kong (March 25) and Abu Dhabi (March 28). Tickets will go on sale via Sistic on February 16 (Monday) at 9AM, however, according to some sources – whom I will keep unnamed to spare them the embarrassment if ever it were not true – that tickets are already on sale at the Sistic booths. Would all you Singaporean fans be a doll and go check it out for us in Malaysia?
Here are the details:
Date: March 23, 2009 (Monday)
Venue: Singapore Indoor Stadium
Tickets: SGD$248, SGD$188, SGD$158, SGD$88
In the meantime, the organisers of Sunburst have better step up, man. Malaysians’ tolerance is running way way thin.
Ed Note: Times like this, (now mind you, i’ll be crucified for saying this) I wish i was born in Singapore.
