You Can Join Malaysia's First Augmented Reality Concert Just By Scanning A Pepsi Bottle
With the current conditional movement control order (CMCO) being extended over and over again, we're pretty sure most of you are running out of things to do at home by now.
So, if you're one of those looking for things to do at home, why not join Malaysia's first ever augmented reality (AR) concert?

Straight to your home!

Pepsi is once again breaking new boundaries and transforming the music experience in Malaysia by bringing fans the first-ever Augmented Reality (AR) Concert in Malaysia beginning 16 April 2021 – available exclusively for Pepsi fans.
Featuring popular artiste Siti Nordiana as the main performer, the concert also features three passionate local talents – Aidil, Bell and Syafeek, who won the #PepsiBoldTalent audition challenge.
Salman Butt, Senior Marketing Director APAC of PepsiCo, said in a press statement that Pepsi decided to reward its fans with the concert because they know that music lovers in Malaysia have been missing the concert experience due to the pandemic.
“So, we decided to bring them the first-ever Augmented Reality Concert in Malaysia – something that has never been done before in Malaysia yet it is very much in line with our bold personality and pioneering nature.
"In particular, we are drawing upon the bold taste of Pepsi Black and its spirit of challenging the norm by making this exclusive concert content only accessible to consumers of Pepsi Black Raspberry – our exciting new cola flavour offering a bold taste and no calories,” he said in the press release.

Meet your performers

The concert headed by Siti Nordiana – who was voted the most popular female artiste ('Artis Top Top Meletop Wanita') by music fans in the Anugerah MeleTOP Era 2020, gives fans the opportunity to watch a performance of her latest song, showcasing the talents of dancer Bell, freestyle footballer Aidil and singer Syafeek.
In the #PepsiBoldTalent audition challenge, the trio’s talents shone and stood out in a pool of over 3,000 audition videos, where their entries attracted the highest number of engagements, enabling them to emerge as winners in the #PepsiBoldTalent competition.
Passionate about improving their talents and sharing their love for performance with fans, this talented young trio is dreaming big when it comes to the future. Self-taught dancing talent Bell, a 22-year-old student who has been dancing for three years, hopes to use the exposure to emulate the success of her performance heroes.
Freestyle football talent Aidil, also 22, meanwhile, wants to use the opportunity to elevate awareness of freestyle football. Although a graphic designer by profession, he has been freestyling football for almost eight years, honing his talent by practicing more than seven hours a day on weekends.
Singing talent Syafeek, who discovered his talent while studying engineering in France, hopes this latest exposure will contribute towards greater success as a singer. Having performed at corporate functions and participated in singing competitions since 2012, he won the i-SiNG World competition in Paris in 2018.
