PENANG is set to close 2025 on a high note with the DOUBLE X Santhosh Narayanan Live in Concert, which will take place at the Setia SPICE Arena on Dec 27.
Presented by Golden Production and Yushi Entertainment, the concert is touted as the biggest Indian music event ever staged in Penang, featuring breathtaking visuals, world-class sound design, and one of the largest stage setups ever constructed for a live performance in Malaysia.
The headline act, Santhosh Narayanan, is one of India’s most celebrated music directors, renowned for his trendsetting works in Tamil cinema.
This will be his first major concert in Penang, and audiences can look forward to a performance that blends innovation, passion, and musical brilliance.
Santhosh Narayanan’s blend of fusion of genres, ranging from traditional South Indian folk and gaana with contemporary Western styles like rock, jazz, blues, and electronic music, is what makes him a notable music director in the region.
The organisers said the concert would deliver an experience unlike any other.
“DOUBLE X represents double the sound, double the madness, and double the experience.
“We are building a stage setup beyond imagination, one that will transform the concert experience for Penang and Malaysia as a whole. It will be a night to remember for every music lover,” they shared.
Coinciding with the December school holidays and year-end celebrations, the concert is expected to be a highlight of Penang’s festive calendar. With the state’s reputation as a Unesco World Heritage city and one of Malaysia’s most visited destinations, the event is anticipated to attract both local and international visitors.
In addition to Santhosh Narayanan’s headline act, the concert will also feature local Malaysian talents as opening performers, showcasing Penang’s vibrant arts scene and homegrown creativity.
Tickets are now available through the official ticketing platform, with limited categories still open for purchase. Fans are encouraged to secure their seats early for what promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime musical spectacle.
