Hong Kong pop sensation Anson Lo, also known as Ah Lo, commenced his second major solo concert series, “ANSON LO ‘KINGDOM’ LIVE 2025,” last night (June 6), delivering a high-energy performance while offering fans a deeply personal reflection on his seven-year career trajectory. The opening night showcased extravagant costume changes, intense choreography, and powerful vocal delivery, culminating in an emotional encore where the artist abandoned his signature upbeat finale for a heartfelt confession to his devoted fanbase, known as the “Sintau” or “Believers.”
Throughout the ambitious production, Lo demonstrated his versatility, moving seamlessly between dance tracks and romantic ballads. For performances of “Romantic Killer of Cancer” and “Deep Boudoir,” the singer utilized a small satellite stage, ascending on a lift to enhance intimacy with the audience. He framed the evening as a dedicated “date” with the Pintau, underscored by his rendition of “A Special Dating Ritual.” The mood quickly shifted to explosive energy with uptempo hits like “Lemonade” and “MONEY.” A dramatic moment saw a dancer assisting him in shedding his long coat, revealing a muscular physique beneath his vest, drawing ecstatic screams from the sold-out venue.
The visual spectacle continued with the track “You Also Have Today,” where Lo emerged in a lavish, low-cut gold ensemble atop an Egyptian-themed stage prop, embodying a regal figure. Subsequent segments featured costume changes, including a tight black and red leather outfit for powerful performances of “MY LIFE” and “Rude Boy.”
However, the most significant moments of the night involved direct communication with his supporters. Before singing “Unlovable Master” and “My Supportive Partner,” Lo adopted a distinct pink aesthetic, surrounded by a cascade of heart-shaped confetti, creating a visually perfect “pink ocean.” This display, he explained, held profound meaning, transcending simple color preference.
“This pink ocean right now feels perfect to me,” Lo stated, acknowledging the sea of fans wearing pink. “The color pink is very meaningful; not only do I love the color, but every time I see pink, I am reminded of all of you.”
He offered profound gratitude to the Pintau, asserting that their support over the past seven years was the sole reason he was able to headline his second major concert. Lo lightheartedly shared that he receives daily, unfiltered declarations of love from the Sintau, often containing playful nicknames, which he finds endearing and encouraging.
“I love the directness,” he admitted. “You constantly provide love and positive energy. You care about everything I do.”
Lo candidly confessed that he recently experienced a return to the “uneasy state” of mind he faced in 2023. He credits his ability to overcome this anxiety and proceed with the concert entirely to his fans’ unwavering dedication. He likened their support to that of a devoted companion.
“Your daily support is like a partner to me,” Lo explained. “The definition of a partner means thinking of each other every day. Every Pintau here is my supportive partner,” he concluded before dedicating the song “My Supportive Partner” to the audience.
The run of concerts is set to reaffirm Lo’s position as a multifaceted entertainer while cementing the powerful, reciprocal relationship he maintains with his dedicated global following. The emotional performance serves as a testament to the mental health challenges faced by contemporary idols and the critical role fan communities play in their sustained success.
