The inaugural Kuala Lumpur Bike Show 2023 (KLBS’23) announced today two lifestyle programmes that will take place during the four-day two-wheelers exhibition in August.
Farouk Nurish, director of Moventuum Sdn Bhd, which is one of the event organisers for KLBS’23, said, “The Kuala Lumpur Bike Show 2023, is a show that holistically represents the biking culture in Malaysia. And this includes lifestyle elements such as fashion and music. So today, our announcement of the collaboration with renowned Malaysian fashion designer, Bon Zainal, and four other designers together with our second concert featuring popular group, Hujan, will add to these elements at the show.”
The concert at KLBS’23 by Malaysian indie rock band, Hujan, will be the band’s first solo performance in Malaysia this year. It will be held on the evening of 25 August 2023 at the Merdeka Hall, World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTC KL).
Excited to perform for their fans who call themselves the Raingers, Hujan, said “We have performed at many festivals in the country throughout the year, but this time, it will be our solo showcase. For the Raingers who may have missed our previous shows, don’t miss this one. Come and watch us live at KLBS’23.”
Ticket sales for Hujan’s concert will begin this Friday, 29 July 2023 at 10am by Moventuum on MyTicket Asia’s online ticketing platform.
Hujan’s concert is one of two concerts that will be held during KLBS’23 with the other one being what is set up to be a majestic performance by Wings – one of Malaysia’s legendary rock bands from the 80s – with tickets to the show selling fast.
The other lifestyle component of KLBS’23 is a fashion show curated by Malaysia’s menswear maestro, Bon Zainal. Themed ‘Wheels on Heels’, Bon Zainal is inspired by the convergence of two industries – fashion and the two-wheelers, for this carefully curated fashion show at KLBS’23. To be held on 26 August 2023 at 3 pm, the show will feature diverse collections by local designers including Emri Vision, Rasta Rashid, Ghadeez by Aina & Aini, and Bon Zainal himself, who were all present at the media event at Bon Zainal Boutique in Plaza Damas here today.
Bon Zainal said, “When we talk about fashion shows, it all comes down to great collaborations. For ‘Wheels on Heels’, it is not only the collaboration between five local designers including myself, but also the combination of two industries. The fact is that everyone styles themselves from the moment they wake up; so, there is always a lifestyle element in every industry. ‘Wheels on Heels’ is a showcase of ready-to-wear streetwear that suits everyone within and outside the biking world. Collaborating with KLBS’23 is also a great way to promote Malaysia’s talented homegrown designers. So, let’s support local and let’s get this show on the runway and on social media.”
Organised by Moventuum Sdn Bhd and RodaRoda Magazine (Bayu D Enterprise Sdn Bhd), KLBS’23 will be the first exhibition of its kind in Malaysia to solely feature the two-wheel industry. KLBS’23 will run for four days from 24 to 27 August 2023, 10 am to 10 pm at WTC KL.
