A party like no other
With the Black Eyed Peas, MC HotDog and Reshmonu coming together to celebrate Arthur’s Day, you’ll want to get your tickets for the party of the year.
One hundred and fifty countries, five venues, one global celebration.
Come Sept 25, Arthur’s Day will feature numerous parties around the world, starting in Dublin and spreading on to Yaounde, Lagos, New York and, of course, Malaysia.
It’s amazing that one man named Arthur Guinness started it all 250 years ago. Arthur’s Day is the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of a lease on the St James’ Gate in Dublin, Ireland in 1759, marking the beginning of Arthur’s legacy, a man whose vision, innovation and foresight started a brand that is still enjoyed throughout the world today.
The Arthur’s Day event at Sunway Lagoon will see hip-hop sensations and three-time Grammy Award winning artistes, the Black Eyed Peas, headlining.
The Black Eyed Peas Flying in from Japan, the celebrated quartet of will.i.am, apl.de.ap and Taboo will perform some of their worldwide hits, including Where is the Love, Hey Mama, Let’s Get it Started and the hot single I Gotta Feeling.
Also performing are Taiwanese rapper MC HotDog, who shot to superstardom in China and Taiwan with the release of his second album Mr. Almost in 2008, and Taiwanese rap group MJ116.
Providing the local flavour are leading Malaysian artistes like Reshmonu, Joe Flizzow, Danny One and Manhand.
That’s not all. A special guest DJ will take over to ensure that the party keeps going.
Reshmonu So come dressed in stylish black, get your photos taken, party with the celebrities and who knows, you might even get the chance to snap a pic with your favourite artiste!
Arthur’s Day will also see the unveiling of the Arthur Guinness Fund, a global programme that starts off with €6mil (RM30.7mil).
Locally, proceeds from products and merchandise sold that night will be go to the Malaysian Arthur’s Fund which provides training skills for the local community.
