Hong Kong Coliseum is the city's most well known concert venue. Unlike the long commute to…read moreAsiaWorld for visiting foreign acts, the coliseum (aka "紅館" amongst locals) serves as the default standard for most famous local ones. Many aspiring HK singers dream to perform here, and for the rest of us, it is our entertainment outlet; our hodgepodge of memories both old and new. A household name for nearly 35 years, it seats approximately 12,500, and is located in Hung Hom (#kowloonpride). The parking situation is limited to small lots and garages here and there, so count on shooting for the MTR as it's located right behind the Hung Hom station. The facilities feel somewhat dated, even after the 2008 renovation. Visit the men's bathrooms on the lobby level and tell me that's not true. It should be noted every show or sporting event does a fairly decent job at transforming the venue. Whether you're here for the Miss Hong Kong Pageant or the FIVB World Grand Prix, or some random Chinese concert (my first was Leon Lai in 1993), a good time is a must. While seating near the center stage is great, the relatively small capacity means there really isn't a bad seat in the house.

The Hong Kong Coliseum is well known as 紅館 by people in Hong Kong. Although it is called a…read morecoliseum, its most popular usage is actually to host large scale music concerts. This is basically the holy grail concert location for local artists. It was one of their ultimate goals to host a concert here before technology enables them to hack oversea markets! I have been to many concert locations in town but this is definitely the best to visit. The site is very spacious being able to host over 10 thousands audiences with quality audio-visual equipments. It is conveniently located near the MTR station. The most interesting scene is probably the combination of audiences and glowing sticks hawkers crowding around the place before concerts of popular stars:D Most importantly, every time I came here, I am expecting a great night of music experiences and the performances had never let me down! I went to the Twins 2015-2016 LOL Live in Hong Kong concert several days ago. Twins was the most popular canton pop girls duo in Hong Kong when I was small. The girls might not be the best in singing but their performance were definitely able to recall our childhood (or youth) memories! If you are into Hong Kong pop music (or other music concerts), you come here in 紅館!
