KUALA LUMPUR, 22 April 2026 — JOOX and QQ Music, the leading music streaming platforms under Tencent Music Entertainment (TME), have officially teamed up with Hong Leong Bank (HLB) to present AsiaTop Music Festival 2026 —one of Southeast Asia’s most highly anticipated K-Pop music events this year. Scheduled for 30–31 May 2026 at the Sepang International Circuit in Selangor, Malaysia, the two-day cross-border celebration will feature a star-studded lineup headlined by CxM(Seventeen), DAESUNG and KUN, promising electrifying world-class performances, chart-topping hits, and memorable moments to unite music enthusiasts across Asia.
Blending top K-Pop, Chinese, Malaysian and Thai artists, the festival offers extraordinary diversity in musical styles, featuring powerful vocals and charismatic stage presence. Beyond the headliners, the roster includes acclaimed K-Pop boy groups CRAVITY, TWS, Winner, K-Pop girl groups NMIXX, STAYC, iconic soloist Aina Abdul, Firdhaus, Win Metawin, and rising idols such as 82MAJOR, Butterbear and NexT1DE—each bringing unique flair to the stage with sharp choreography and immersive live interactions. Complementing the performances, the festival will also offer a complete experience with interactive zones, photo installations, and official merchandise areas, fostering a vibrant atmosphere for fans to connect and savor the celebration.
Notably, this collaboration marks not the first time JOOX and HLB have joined forces. Last year, the two partners successfully collaborated on the Malaysia stop of G-Dragon’s Übermensch World Tour, a partnership that further showcased JOOX’s strong execution capabilities in organizing large-scale live events. Both parties expressed their hope that AsiaTop Music Festival 2026 will deliver an experience accessible and enjoyable to all Malaysians, as they work together to nurture and expand the country’s vibrant cultural landscape. Additionally, both JOOX and HLB look forward to celebrating the power of music and community through this unforgettable showcase.
In recent years, JOOX has long been committed to breaking down the boundaries between platforms and users, and between fans and idols. Online, JOOX has previously worked with global stars such as aespa and BLACKPINK to launch its exclusive Star Card series, offering fans a more immersive way to connect through personalized voice messages, handwritten notes, and collectible physical cards. In 2025, JOOX also introduced Bubble service to Southeast Asia and Greater China, allowing fans to enjoy near one-to-one private messaging experiences with nearly 100 top artists directly in the JOOX app. Offline, the 2025 JOOX TOP MUSIC NIGHT (JTMN) brought together 15 top Asian acts including KUN, Billkin & PP Krit, and MIRROR, attracting tens of thousands of attendees. More than half of the audience came from overseas, while social media engagement reached billions, making it one of the most talked-about music events in Thailand and across Asia.
As a co-organizer of the festival, AsiaTop 2026 is strongly supported by QQ Music Top Music Festival, the flagship IP under QQ Music. A leading brand in China’s music festival scene, QQ Music Top Music Festival has successfully staged more than 10 large-scale music events across major Chinese cities from 2023 to 2026, attracting over 500,000 fans in total. It boasts extensive market influence, strong brand recognition, and mature production capabilities. This collaboration with JOOX to present an overseas music festival also marks the official internationalization of QQ Music Top Music Festival, injecting new vitality into the global promotion of Chinese music brands.
