Hokkien Queen 2.0 Live Concert at Arena of Stars: Three Malaysian Voices, One Hokkien Night
Hokkien Queen 2.0, the follow-up to the Hokkien-language concert series that proved surprisingly popular in its first run, returns to Arena of Stars on Tuesday, 4 August 2026 at 6pm. The show brings together three Malaysian female singers, each with a distinct background, to perform a setlist built around Hokkien classics and contemporary Hokkien pop. Tickets are RM171 for PS1, with a RM4 processing fee per ticket, and the show is open to all ages.
The 2.0 edition is a showcase of Malaysian talent rather than an imported headliner. Selina Gan, Felicia Low and Catherine Soon each bring a different strength to the stage, and the concert is structured to give each a solo spotlight as well as joint numbers. If you attended the first Hokkien Queen concert, the format will be familiar: a celebration of the Hokkien musical canon performed by singers who genuinely live in that repertoire.
The three voices on stage
Selina Gan is the name most likely to draw the crowd. Active in the Malaysian music scene for years, she has released several albums under Southern Records, including 'Dear, Don't Cry' (2016) and 'Love on Fire' (2015). Her warm, delicate voice and deeply emotional delivery have made songs like 'Desert Loneliness', 'If the Clouds Knew' and 'Too Much Passion' fan favourites. She is known for nuanced emotional expression and a strong stage presence, with each live performance built around storytelling.
Felicia Low represented Malaysia at the 2013 'Water Cube Cup' Chinese Song Contest for Overseas Chinese Youth in Beijing, where she won a bronze award. She is fluent in Mandarin, English, Japanese and Malay, and can also perform in Cantonese, Hokkien and Hakka, which gives her a versatility that few Malaysian singers can match. Her performances combine explosive energy with professionalism.
Catherine Soon is the veteran of the trio, with over 20 years of stage experience and hundreds of championship titles to her name. She has represented Malaysia overseas and handles classic oldies, pop songs, upbeat tracks, ballads, folk music and multiple languages with stable vocal skills and strong stage charisma. Her presence gives the concert a grounding that the younger singers can lean on.
What to expect from the setlist
The concert is anchored in Hokkien-language music, which has a deep following among Malaysian Chinese audiences, particularly the older generation. Expect covers of Hokkien classics alongside original material from the singers' own catalogues. Given Selina Gan's repertoire, 'Too Much Passion' and 'Desert Loneliness' are likely anchors. The multi-language capabilities of Felicia Low mean the show will likely detour into Mandarin and possibly Cantonese, so it is not strictly Hokkien throughout.
