'MAGIC Man World Tour', Jackson Wang's first-ever solo headline tour, made its long-awaited stop in Kuala Lumpur this past weekend, seeing a capacity attendance of 10,000 on December 17 (Saturday).

The sold-out crowd at Axiata Arena had a night to remember with performances featuring hit songs, '100 Ways', 'LMLY', 'I Don't Have It', 'Blow' and 'Dopamine', among others – elevated with impeccable stage design which included conveyor belts, giant guitars and high altitude stairs, showcasing Jackson's creativity as well as his sincerity towards his fans.

During the show, he brought two lucky fans onstage, and he showed respect for the local culture by changing parts of the choreography of 'Cruel' and 'The Moment'.

After its wildly successful stops in Bangkok and Malaysia, the 'Magic Man World Tour' continues on to Singapore on December 23rd, followed by London, Paris and Dubai in 2023, with more dates to be announced.

The multi-hyphenate artist's sophomore album 'Magic Man', released on September 9th via TEAM WANG records/88rising Records/Warner Records/RYCE MUSIC GROUP, ranked Top 15 on Billboard 200 and Top 13 on Billboard Artist 100 in 2022, includes standout tracks 'Blow', 'Cruel', 'Blue', and 'Come Alive'.

Released earlier this month, the 'Come Alive' music video showcased Jackson at his most captivating yet.

Jackson made history at this year's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival as the first-ever Chinese solo artist who performed on the main stage as part of 88rising's 'Head In The Clouds Forever' set.

In August he headlined the 'Head In The Clouds' Festival at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, CA, and most recently in December joined the stellar lineup of global and local artists at the inaugural 'Head In The Clouds' Festival in Jakarta and Manila. – The Vibes, December 20, 2022
