Yang has expanded his upcoming Hong Kong dates to four shows, including two performances on the same day – 15 June – due to massive demand, respectively at 3:00 PM and 8:15 PM.

The original 13 and 14 June shows sold out rapidly, with fans flooding social media to report issues ranging from platform crashes to suspected scalper bots. While some voiced frustration over missed chances, the overwhelming response also reflects Yang’s immense popularity in his hometown.

All shows will be held at the 12,500-seat Hong Kong Coliseum in Hung Hom, with the following schedule:

  • 13 June – 8:15 PM
  • 14 June – 8:15 PM
  • 15 June3:00 PM & 8:15 PM

Yang just announced a second night at the Hong Kong Coliseum, following strong demand during pre-sales for his upcoming live show. Tickets aren’t even on general sale yet, but interest in the original 14 June performance has been so high that a second show was – indeed – necessary.

The decision was made after thousands of fans attempted to secure tickets during limited early booking windows, with many reporting they were unable to access the platform or complete their purchase on Klook or Cityline. In a video shared on social media, Yang thanked fans for their support and apologised to those who couldn’t get tickets.

Both shows begin at 8:15 PM at the 12,500-seat Hong Kong Coliseum in Hung Hom. Here’s what you need to know if you’re brave enough to try your luck at getting tickets for the Hong Kong-born stand-up comedian, despite the high demand.

To book tickets for Jimmy O. Yang’s shows, use the following links:

  • Pre-sales for 13 June show: Tuesday, 13 May at 2 PM HKT via Cityline (Access code: BIG).
  • Public sales for June 13 and 14: Wednesday, 15 May at 10 AM via URBTIX.

Tenuta Viglione Brings Puglia’s Wine Tradition to Asia’s Growing Market https://thehkhub.com/tenuta-viglione-brings-puglias-wine-tradition-to-asias-growing-market/ Tue, 25 Mar 2025 00:45:26 +0000 https://thehkhub.com/?p=67204 Once known mainly for its olive oil and food culture, Puglia is now making a name for itself in the global wine scene. The region’s wines, particularly red varieties, are being added to more wine lists across Asia, reflecting a shift in consumer preferences towards authenticity and heritage.

While Puglia has a long winemaking history dating back to ancient Greece and Rome, it was often overlooked for much of the 20th century. Many of its wines were produced in high volumes with a focus on quantity rather than character. This started to change in the 1980s when a group of producers began working with native grape varieties and promoting organic farming and artisanal techniques.

One example is Tenuta Viglione, a family-owned winery based in the Gioia del Colle PDO. It is part of a growing number of estates focused on small-batch, organic production, helping to highlight the region’s potential in international markets.

Puglia’s most recognisable grapes are Primitivo and Negroamaro, both known for bold reds. But the region also offers lesser-known varieties like Nero di Troia and Susumaniello, as well as white and rosé wines. Verdeca, a native white grape, is gaining attention for its fresh acidity, which pairs well with seafood. Meanwhile, Puglia’s rosés are being praised for their elegance and crispness.

In markets like Hong Kong, where wine drinkers are becoming more adventurous, these unique offerings are seen as a welcome change. The rising interest also mirrors a wider trend across Asia: a desire for wines with a clear identity, rooted in tradition but open to modern taste.

As more importers and sommeliers turn to regions like Puglia for new inspiration, the region’s wines are finding their place on shelves and menus across Asia. It marks a step forward not only for Puglia, but for the broader recognition of Southern Italy’s wine potential.

G-Dragon Will Perform in Hong Kong This August https://thehkhub.com/g-dragon-will-perform-in-hong-kong-this-august/ Wed, 19 Mar 2025 07:37:17 +0000 https://thehkhub.com/?p=67166 Hong Kong has become ground zero for some of the biggest K-pop concerts in the region. Case in point: rapper and BigBang member G-Dragon has revealed that Hong Kong will be the last Asia stop for his upcoming Übermensch tour. So far, the idol has only confirmed that he will perform in the city in early August at AsiaWorld-Arena. Details about tickets, pricing and priority booking (if any) have not yet been announced.

When and Where are G-Dragon’s Hong Kong Fan Concerts?

All we know right now is that G-Dragon will take the stage in Hong Kong on August 9 and 10, 2025 at AsiaWorld-Arena. The arena can accommodate 12,500 concert-goers — making it the city’s largest indoor seated performance venue. Ticket details for G-Dragons’s Hong Kong concerts haven’t yet been revealed. Once they’re out, we should also have info about the seat map, priority sales, merch, and whether fans can have personal interactions with the K-pop phenomenon.

What Songs Will G-Dragon Sing in Hong Kong?

The star will likely regale fans with tracks from his latest album Übermensch — his first in more than a decade — that includes 2024 hits like Power and Home Sweet Home and the recently released Too Bad. Fans may also get to hear favourites from his previous solo outings Heartbreaker and Coup d’Etat.

How to Get to G-Dragons Hong Kong Shows

Hop on board the Airport Express from the Hong Kong, Kowloon or Tsing Yi MTR Stations to the AsiaWorld-Expo stop, then walk to AsiaWorld-Arena. If you prefer to take the bus, catch the X1 bus from Tung Chung to AsiaWorld-Expo, and walk to the venue from there, but check the schedule about two weeks before the fan meet. There are also special buses to AsiaWorld-Expo on event days. If you prefer to get there by car, catch a cab or drive yourself there (check out car park options here).

Where Else is G-Dragon Performing in 2025?
