Hillsong Worship performed their very first East Malaysia concert at the Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC) in Kota Kinabalu over the weekend.
The concert which was held on 13 September 2026, was part of the Hillsong Worship Nights Asia Tour 2026.
The concert began at 8pm with about 2,000 attendees gathering for an evening of live music and Christian worship.
It was opened by Sabah-born singer Eylia Guntabid who brought local musical element to the event.
The crowd went wild when Hillsong finally took the stage with many opting to stand as they joined in singing and praising Jesus.
Kota Kinabalu was one of the Malaysian stops on the Hillsong Worship Nights Asia Tour 2026 with the Malaysian leg beginning at Mega Star Arena in Kuala Lumpur on 9 September.
The wider Asian tour also includes stops in Surabaya, Singapore and the Philippines.
Hillsong Worship is known internationally for contemporary Christian worship songs like “Oceans (Where Feet May Fail),” “What a Beautiful Name,” “Mighty to Save,” “King of Kings” and “Shout To The Lord.”
After KK, the group will head to Singapore for the next leg of their tour.
