Arena of Stars Genting Highlands Concert Guide: Transport & Where to Stay

Zhe Yee • August 10, 2026

Genting Highlands has quietly become one of Malaysia's favourite concert destinations. Cool mountain air, world-class sound, and acts ranging from K-pop stars to jazz legends make the trip up worthwhile—but only if you know where you're going and how to get back down safely.


Arena of Stars: The Main Stage

Arena of Stars is Malaysia's most iconic indoor concert venue, with a capacity of around 5,000 seats and excellent acoustics. Located within Resorts World Genting, the venue regularly hosts international artists, comedy shows, and cultural performances. Acts like Kenny G, Michael Learns To Rock, and Janice Vidal have all played here in 2025, proving the stage draws serious talent.


The venue is conveniently located within Resorts World Genting, with easy access to food, shops, and accommodation. You'll find it near First World Plaza, so navigating from your accommodation or the cable car station is straightforward.


Other Concert Venues and Festivals

Genting isn't just about Arena of Stars. Zouk Genting hosts concerts for a wide range of genres, drawing electronic and dance music fans. For festival-goers, Sunset by NEON 2025 is returning to the peaks this September—Malaysia's most anticipated melodic techno experience at Awana Resort. Two days of music in the misty mountain air beats a sweaty city festival any day.


Where to Stay: Skip the Drink-Drive Risk

After a great show, the last thing you want is a nerve-wracking descent down a winding mountain road in the dark. Staying overnight in the highlands makes sense. Antara Genting Homestay by NaiBnB offers exactly that—comfortable, well-located accommodation with no need to rush for the last cable car or worry about mountain roads late at night.


Antara Genting has 3 layout options to suit different group sizes: 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom units. The 1BR and 2BR units come with a bathtub, while the 3BR layout includes a jacuzzi—perfect for unwinding after hours on your feet at a gig. All units are fully furnished and feature a mountain-view balcony, so you wake up to cool air and greenery rather than a concrete carpark.


The altitude and mountain roads aren't forgiving, especially late at night. Staying at Antara Genting means you can enjoy the night, grab supper at Gohtong Jaya or the resort, and head down refreshed the next morning—no drink-drive risk, no rushing.


Getting There: From Antara Genting to the Concert Venues

If you're staying at Antara Genting, you're already in the perfect position. The building sits right in the middle of an enclosed link bridge that connects the Awana Skyway cable car station (Chin Swee Station) on one end and Resorts World Genting on the other. The entire 1,209-metre bridge is equipped with escalators, so you walk in comfort no matter the weather.


From Antara Genting, you can take the link bridge directly to Resorts World Genting, where Arena of Stars and most concert venues are located. The walk is covered, climate-controlled, and takes around 10–15 minutes. Alternatively, head the other direction to the Chin Swee cable car station, ride up to SkyAvenue, and walk to the venue from there—also about 10 minutes.


Free shuttle buses run between Resorts World Awana and the main resort area every hour from 10am to midnight, so if you prefer not to walk, that's another easy option. You're never more than a short ride or stroll from the stage.
