HONG KONG – Hong Kong veteran singer Andy Hui will return to the Hong Kong Coliseum for the first time in more than a decade, staging three concerts in October 2026 to mark his 40th anniversary in the music industry. The shows, titled Andy Hui〈On Stage〉Live in Concert 2026, sold out in just 90 minutes after public tickets went on sale Tuesday, following an earlier presale that was exhausted within two hours.
Hui, 57, is scheduled to perform on October 8, 9 and 10 at the iconic 12,500-seat venue. The concerts represent a major milestone for the Cantopop star, who last headlined at the Coliseum in 2015. The swift sellout has sparked a wave of demand from fans across Asia, with many overseas supporters unable to secure tickets and urging organizers to expand the run or launch a regional tour.
In a statement released through his management, Hui expressed gratitude to fans, saying he is “devoting 120 percent effort” to prepare a night of nostalgia and emotional connection. “I am deeply touched by the overwhelming response. This concert is not just a performance; it is a reunion with everyone who has walked this journey with me for four decades,” the singer said.
The concert announcement follows a turbulent period in Hui’s career. In 2019, his public profile suffered after a widely reported scandal involving an extramarital affair with actress Jacqueline Wong. He subsequently took a hiatus from performing and public appearances, returning to the stage gradually with smaller events and charity shows. The upcoming Coliseum concerts are widely seen as a career revival and a test of his enduring popularity.
Promoters Plan Regional Tour Amid High Demand
Organizer Divine Light Entertainment confirmed that no additional Hong Kong shows can be added due to venue scheduling constraints. However, the company said it is actively evaluating plans for a tour across Asia-Pacific markets, including Taiwan, Malaysia and Singapore, where Hui retains a loyal fan base.
“We have received countless messages from fans in Hong Kong and abroad who missed out on tickets. We are now working closely with Andy’s team to map out potential tour dates and locations,” a spokesperson for the promoter said. “The goal is to bring this production to as many supporters as possible.”
Industry analysts note that Hui’s ability to sell out the Coliseum so quickly, despite a nearly decade-long absence from the venue, underscores the lasting loyalty of Cantopop audiences and the singer’s resilient fan base. The concert also exemplifies a broader trend of veteran Hong Kong artists staging major comebacks, appealing to nostalgic listeners seeking live music experiences.
What Comes Next
For now, Hui is focused on rehearsals and refining the show’s setlist, which is expected to span his four-decade catalog—from early ballads like Can’t Let You Go to later hits such as My Love. Fans unable to attend the Hong Kong dates are advised to monitor official channels for tour announcements, which the promoter says could come within the next few months.
Tickets for the three sold-out performances were priced between HK$380 and HK$980 and were available through the Hong Kong Ticketing network. No resale or standby arrangements have been announced.
