  "summary": "The Malaysian Association for Arts, Live Festivals, Concerts and Events (ALIFE) has called for a one-stop centre to manage and market concerts in the country, as reported by The Vibes. This move comes as Malaysia hosted over 450 concerts in 2025, and the live events industry contributed nearly RM1.72 billion to the economy. ALIFE believes that Kuala Lumpur should become a consistent part of the international tour routing conversation, rather than an occasional addition, to ensure the city's growth as a major live entertainment hub in Southeast Asia.",
