Wong, best known for his portrayal of charming and often complicated characters in hit dramas like “The Score” and “Once Upon a Time in Malaya,” is ready to showcase another side of himself – a musically gifted artist yearning to connect with fans on a deeper level.
The tour kicks off in Kuala Lumpur, Wong’s hometown, on October 14th. Subsequent stops include Singapore, Bangkok, Taipei, Hong Kong, and Seoul, concluding with a grand finale in Tokyo on December 2nd.

But why this sudden foray into live music? What inspired the charismatic actor to embark on such an ambitious endeavor? We caught up with Wong’s manager, Jasmine Lee, who shed light on the project:
“Lawrence has always been musically inclined. Even during his acting days, he’d be humming tunes between takes or strumming his guitar backstage. This tour is a culmination of his lifelong passion for music and his desire to connect with fans in a more intimate setting."
Lee added, “We’ve carefully curated the setlist to reflect Lawrence’s diverse musical influences – from soulful ballads to upbeat pop anthems – ensuring there’s something for everyone. And he’ll be sharing stories from his personal life and career journey, giving fans a glimpse into the man behind the screen.”
While Wong is undeniably excited about the tour, it hasn’t been without its hiccups. Rehearsals have been intense, with Wong pushing himself to deliver flawless performances.
