Official Venue The Bee Publika KL spokesperson, Rahul Kukreja expressed that this will be a first-of-its-kind concert in the capital city by Loudness in an intimate setting, giving music fans a chance to get up close to the legendary 35-year old metal band’s live performance. Akira is known for his amazing fingerwork on the lead guitar, and it will be a chance in a lifetime to enjoy the band in this setting.
LOUDNESS’ Rise to Glory Tour hits KL right after their Hong Kong show next month.


Founded in 1981, LOUDNESS toured North America and Europe in 1983 and made history the following year as the first Japanese band to sign with an international record label, Atlantic Records. They were also the first Japanese act to play at the prestigious Madison Square Garden and opened for a Motley Crue concert. Their first international release Thunder In The East (1985) and the single “Crazy Nights” peaked at #4 in Japan and #74 on the US Billboard charts for 19 weeks!
LOUDNESS lost its original drummer Munetaka Higuchi at the age of 49 in 2008, so to keep his spirit alive, the band recruited new drummer Masayuki Suzuki. Today, LOUDNESS is Akira Takasaki (Guitar), Minoru Niihara (Vocals), Masayoshi Yamashita (Bass) and Masayuki Suzuki (Drums).

Concert promoter Lampuneon is no stranger to the music scene, with a list of successes having brought Swedish neo-classical metal guitarist Yngwie malmsteen for his only Asian show to Kuala Lumpur in 2018, with upcoming shows in December 2019 by Halestorm, an American rock band from Pennsylvania (Atlantic Records) and Anthrax in April 2020.
