Nightlife live music at some of the popular pubs and nightspots
in and around KL city.
KL's live music scene is
roaring back to life. The city has a wide range of bars
that serve up good live acts. These venues vary from small
intimate bars to large, loud clubs.
Home-grown acts have been garnering a lot
of attention; foreign big bands are bringing a dose of high-end
entertainment to the city. The acts are mostly a mix of jazz, pop, R&B, and
Latin. Young, edgy artists are turning club stages into platforms to
showcase their brand of music. It's time to paint the town red with the help
of our guide to the best places for some quality live music
