Bruno Mars is set to have a concert here in Malaysia on the 17th September at National Stadium Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur.
And though organisers may have thought that Malaysians would have been pumped about this, it may just be the exact opposite.
Malaysians have decided to boycott the singer's show here in Malaysia, a reaction organisers most definitely did not expect.
As of now, a little over 24 hours since tickets have gone live, the concert has failed to sell out with only a one day show.
Be reminded, Malaysians don't always get their favorite international artists dropping by here, so when they do, it almost always sell out.
An artist as big as Bruno Mars, should have sold out.
If you head on over to Live Nation Malaysia's website, there are still plenty of tickets available.
So, did the boycott affect the ticket sales for this concert?
Most probably.
Bruno Mars is a massive Zionist/Israel supporter.

BOYCOTT THIS CONCERT. https://t.co/A5AX6L0lNr pic.twitter.com/KMTyhhd8B9
Netizens have decided to boycott the artist here in Malaysia after it was recently revealed on X, how Bruno Mars had a concert in Israel last year October, where during the show he sang 'I love you' in Hebrew with his keyboardist, playing a classic Israeli children's song as a way to declare his love for Tel Aviv and his fans.
Showcasing his support for the country very loudly, have given netizens all they needed to know about the artist and his values on the current genocide happening in Palestine.
Live Nation Malaysia have yet to speak up about this situation even though Malaysians have been very vocal about the boycott.
They have however, chosen to switch off their comment section on all their postings.
