If you were lucky enough to snag tickets for Keshi’s Requiem tour in KL, congratulations—you survived the ticketing battlefield. Now that the hard part is over, it’s time to prep for one of the best concert experiences ever. From getting to the venue to what to pack and what to leave behind, here’s everything you need to know.
Covering 35 cities across North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia, Keshi’s Requiem tour is a celebration of his second studio album, released in September under Island Records. The tour kicked off in October at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena and will make stops in major Asian cities, including Tokyo, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Bangkok, Manila, Singapore, and Taipei.
Casey Luong, better known as Keshi, started his career by sharing heartfelt, self-produced tracks on SoundCloud in 2017. Before fully committing to music, he worked as an oncology nurse, ultimately taking the leap after a particularly tough day at the hospital.
Now a prominent name in alt-R&B, the 30-year-old singer-songwriter is known for dreamy vocals, falsetto-heavy melodies, and evocative lyrics. Hits like LIMBO and i need u have solidified his place in the industry, resonating deeply with fans. Following his debut album GABRIEL, Requiem marks his highly anticipated return after a two-year hiatus.
Keshi last performed in KL during his HELL/HEAVEN tour in December 2022, and now he’s back on local shores once again.
Keshi Requiem Tour in KL 2025 concert guide: Getting to Axiata Arena

Axiata Arena has hosted top international acts like IU, IVE, Fujii Kaze, and Dua Lipa, and now it’s preparing to welcome Keshi. If you want to avoid spending more time stuck in traffic than at the concert, public transport is your best bet.
The most convenient option is the LRT. Start on the Kelana Jaya line, switch at Masjid Jamek to the Sri Petaling line (heading towards Putra Heights), and get off at Bukit Jalil station. From there, it’s a 10-minute walk to Axiata Arena. LRT services will run until 11.50 PM, giving you enough time to make your way home post-concert.
Several bus routes stop near the venue. Feeder buses T563, T580, T582, and 652 drop off near Stadium Bukit Jalil (Barat), just a short walk from Axiata Arena.
Driving? Brace yourself for some pre- and post-concert traffic, but if you insist, here are your parking options: Car Park D (right in front of Axiata Arena) or Car Park E (next to the National Squash Centre). The parking fees range from RM10 to RM20, and you can pay via credit/debit card or Touch’n Go. Keep in mind that these rates are set by the venue, so they may be subject to change.
However, a clever alternative is to park at the Awan Besar LRT station and take the train from there—it’s just two stops from Bukit Jalil and spares you the headache of post-concert gridlock.
What to pack and leave behind
While official guidelines haven’t been released, previous concerts at Axiata Arena like Taeyang’s The Light Year Tour suggest these items are not allowed:
- Outside food or drinks
- Bags larger than an A4 size
- Professional audio or visual recording equipment
- Laptops or tablets
- Helmets
- Umbrellas
- Handheld laser pens or glow sticks
- Pets
- Weapons of any kind
- Flammable items or fireworks
- Cigarettes or e-cigarettes
- Banners larger than A4 size. LED banners or banners with political/LGBT slogans are also not allowed
- Glass bottles
- Alcoholic beverages
- Drugs
- Selfie sticks or tripods
- Clothing with derogatory language, or slogans that incite violence or contain sensitive content
And most importantly, don’t forget your digital ticket. Make sure your phone is fully charged and your e-ticket is ready, because no amount of sweet-talking will get you in without it. Each ticket is valid for one person only, so your BFF needs their own.
