Jacky Wu Live Concert 2026 at Arena of Stars: The 'Local King' Returns to Genting
Jacky Wu, the Taiwanese entertainer widely revered as the 'Local King' of Chinese showbiz, returns to Arena of Stars on Saturday, 18 July 2026 at 6pm. The show is billed as a variety extravaganza rather than a straight concert, blending live singing, comedy and audience interaction. Jacky is joined by his long-time 'Golden Partner' Kang Kang as special guest, reuniting a duo known for their on-stage chemistry and rapid-fire banter. Tickets range from RM236 for PS4 to RM836 for VIP, with a 25% early bird discount available on VIP to PS3 tiers.
For anyone who grew up watching Chinese television in the 1990s, Jacky Wu needs little introduction. He skyrocketed to superstardom with the legendary variety show 'Guess Guess Guess' and has since been celebrated as much for his sharp wit as for his singing. He is a Golden Melody Award winner with over a hundred hit songs, earning him the nickname 'Walking CD'. His most enduring tracks include the award-winning 'Sincere Gratitude' (真心换绝情) and the iconic duet 'Roof' (屋顶), both of which remain cultural touchstones of Mandopop.
What to expect from the show
Away from Malaysia for two years, Jacky returns with what he calls a newfound sense of freedom on stage. The format is closer to a variety show than a recital. Expect heartfelt renditions of his classics delivered with soulful vocals, interspersed with comedy segments and direct audience interaction. The presence of Kang Kang guarantees the trademark comedic sparks that made their pairing famous on television, so this is not a sit-quietly-in-your-seat kind of concert.
The production is built around Jacky's gratitude for his fans' lifelong support. He has framed the Genting show as a thank-you to his Malaysian and Singaporean audience, whom he has long called the 'Prince of Singapore and Malaysia'. If you have seen his previous Arena of Stars outings, the 2026 edition promises more of the unscripted, anything-can-happen energy that defines his live work.
Ticket tiers and early bird deal
RWG is running a 25% early bird discount on VIP through PS3 tickets, open to all customers. Quantities are limited and sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Normal and discounted prices are as follows:
- VIP: RM836 normal / RM627 early bird
- PS1: RM666 / RM499.50
- PS2: RM436 / RM327
- PS3: RM366 / RM274.50
- PS4: RM236 (no discount)
Each ticket carries a RM4 processing fee. Children shorter than 95cm pay a flat RM50 child rate without a seat; anyone taller must buy a full ticket. The concert starts at 6pm sharp and late arrivals may not be admitted until a suitable break, so plan to be seated by then. Photography and video recording are strictly prohibited inside the hall.
Who this suits
This concert is aimed squarely at fans of classic Mandopop and Chinese variety entertainment. If you followed 'Guess Guess Guess' or know the lyrics to 'Roof', this is a rare chance to see Jacky and Kang Kang work a live stage together. The PS4 tier at RM236 is the cheapest entry point, but be aware that the early bird discounts on the better tiers tend to sell out fast. Book through the official RWG portal to avoid the resale market, which the organiser actively cancels.
