HONG KONG – Superstar Anson Lo kicked off his highly anticipated five-show residency, the Anson Lo “Kingdom” Live 2025 concert series, at the AsiaWorld-Expo tonight, debuting an elaborate stage design that has reportedly set a new venue record for length. This second major solo concert by the pop idol fully embraced an ancient Egyptian aesthetic, featuring a striking, innovative set built around themes of pyramids and expansive reach to fans.
The elaborate stage production, central to the concert’s narrative, immediately captured attention. It prominently featured a monumental pyramid design as the main stage, complemented by a central section topped with an inverted, four-sided pyramid large screen. The entire construction extended significantly toward the rear of the arena, incorporating a final, smaller stage deep within the audience area. Lo, utilizing the full length of the unprecedented setup, emphasized that the sprawling design was a deliberate effort to maximize interaction with his devoted followers, affectionately known as “Sintus.”
“The most unique aspect of this concert, beyond witnessing a kingdom full of love and energy, is the massive, long stage. It broke the record here at AsiaWorld-Expo,” Lo told the roaring crowd early in the show. “It was a little selfish wish of mine; by having the stage extend as far as possible, I wanted to find a way to get closer to all of you, to reach more Sintus and audience members.”
Lo made his dramatic entrance on the central stage, electrifying the arena instantly in a shimmering, golden ensemble that revealed his defined physique and muscular arms. He launched into a high-energy medley of upbeat tracks, including “Heartbreaker,” “EGO,” and “ON,” successfully transforming the venue into a pulsating wave of excitement. Following the initial barrage of fast-paced dance numbers, he transitioned into a “White Prince” costume to perform the ballad “No. 39 Wing Shun Street.”
While the atmosphere remained visually dominated by the signature sea of pink associated with Lo’s fandom, some subtle shifts in fan behavior were noted. Although many fans still wore pink support gear, a segment opted for neutral-toned clothing, while others coordinated their attire with the concert’s Egyptian motif, demonstrating high engagement with the theme.
Prior to the main performance, screens flanking the stage displayed crucial information, including contact details for charitable organizations, psychological counseling services, and positive, encouraging messages. This unexpected, yet helpful, feature underscored the performer’s emphasis on wellness and community support. Among the notable attendees showing their support were fellow MIRROR members Edan Lui and Jeremy Lee, along with junior label mate Stanley Yau, all arriving in coordinated white attire.
The “Kingdom” concert series not only serves as a major showcase for Anson Lo’s expanding musical portfolio but also sets a new benchmark for stage complexity in arena-scale shows in Hong Kong, blending high-concept aesthetics with unparalleled efforts toward fan accessibility and engagement. The success of the opening night suggests that this focus on spectacle and connection will define the remaining sold-out performances.
