The band took to social media to share a heartwarming message about the first concert they ever performed in Asia — and it happened right here in Malaysia, 30 years ago!

Yep, long before streaming, TikTok dances, or even MP3 players, MLTR was serenading fans, and it all began in our very own backyard.

Their heartfelt post read, "Exactly 30 years ago, we played our first concert in Asia. At THIS very location in KL. It was just a small gig in front of 300 people, but the crowd blew our minds... That night marked the beginning of our long fairytale-like journey here in SEA. If someone had told us back then that we'd be back in 30 years, playing in one of KL's biggest venues, we wouldn't have believed it.

"So a BIG hug from MLTR for staying with us since that first night."

This sweet trip down memory lane comes as the band made their much-anticipated return to Malaysia, performing at the Arena of Stars, Resorts World Genting, on Sunday, 10 November. 

Formed in 1988, Michael Learns To Rock — comprising frontman Jascha Richter, guitarist Mikkel Lentz, and drummer Kare Wanscher — is one of the world's longest-running bands, having played over 800 shows to date. 

Here's to another 30 years of unforgettable music!
