The band that turned soft synths and open-hearted lyrics into a stadium-sized following is coming back. This autumn, American indie-pop favourites LANY bring their Soft World Tour to Hong Kong for one night at AsiaWorld-Expo — and if you have ever screamed the chorus of ILYSB in a packed room, you already know why the date matters.
Here is the full picture on the LANY Hong Kong 2026 concert — the date, the venue, what tickets cost, the songs to have ready and how to reach the airport-island hall without missing the opener.

When & where is the LANY Hong Kong show?
LANY perform one night — Wednesday 30 September 2026 — in Hall 10, one of the concert halls inside AsiaWorld-Expo (亞洲國際博覽館), the vast events complex out by Hong Kong International Airport. The show is billed for an 8pm start; as with most gigs here, your ticket carries the exact door time, so arrive with room to spare.
The stop is part of the band's Soft World Tour, the run supporting their most recent record, which threads through Asia across 2026. Note the room: Hall 10 is a configured concert hall rather than the larger AsiaWorld-Arena, and this is an all-standing show promoted locally by Live Nation Hong Kong.
LANY "Soft World Tour" — Live in Hong Kong
LANY bring the Soft World Tour to Hong Kong for one all-standing night. Hall 10 sits inside the AsiaWorld-Expo complex on the airport island, reached directly from its own Airport Express station — so there is no street walking once you arrive.
Check the official AsiaWorld-Expo event page for any updates on the night.
Who are LANY?
If your playlists lean towards warm synths and heart-on-sleeve choruses, you know them. LANY (pronounced "lay-nee", short for "Los Angeles New York") are an American indie-pop act formed in 2014. Once a trio, they are now the duo of Paul Klein (vocals) and Jake Goss (drums), and Klein's breathy, diaristic songwriting is the band's signature.
They broke through on a run of streaming-era singles and have since built a fiercely loyal audience across Asia, where their tours routinely sell fast. Albums such as Malibu Nights turned personal heartbreak into communal sing-alongs, and that is exactly the energy their live shows trade on.
The Soft World Tour leans into that intimacy at scale — a set built for a room that knows every word and is not shy about proving it.
Tickets: prices and how they went on sale
This is an all-standing show. Standard tickets started at HK$699, with VIP packages from HK$1,569 — the top tier bundling early entry, a pre-show soundcheck party and a group photo with the band. Tickets went on general sale on 27 March 2026 through Live Nation Hong Kong, the official platform, following artist and cardholder presales earlier that week.

The songs to know before the show
LANY's catalogue is deep, but a handful of tracks define a night with them. ILYSB is the euphoric closer-in-waiting, the one that turns a room into a chorus. Malibu Nights is the tender centrepiece — a break-up ballad built for phone torches — and Thru These Tears and Super Far are the mid-set singalongs that carry the momentum.
Setlists shift from city to city, but a headline tour leans on the hits threaded through newer material. Expect the big emotional peaks, plenty of crowd vocals and the kind of communal moments these songs were engineered for. If you have been cramming lyrics, you will have company.
How do you get to AsiaWorld-Expo?
Here is the part that trips up first-timers: AsiaWorld-Expo is not in town — it sits next to the airport on Lantau Island. The good news is the journey is simple. The MTR Airport Express runs straight to AsiaWorld-Expo Station, the line's western terminus, and the station opens directly into the complex, so you step off the platform and into the venue with no street walking.
From Hong Kong Station in Central it is about 28 minutes, via Kowloon and the airport. There can be a discounted event-day Airport Express fare for concert-goers, so check the venue's transport page before you travel.
Getting to AsiaWorld-Expo from the city
| Option | Route | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Airport Express | Hong Kong / Kowloon / Tsing Yi → AsiaWorld-Expo Station (~28 min from Central) | Fastest and easiest |
| Bus | Routes serving the airport / Tung Chung area, then a short walk | Budget travel from Lantau / west Kowloon |
| Taxi | Lantau (blue) or Urban (red) taxi to the venue | Late finishes & groups |
Confirm the latest routes and any event-day fares on the official AsiaWorld-Expo "Getting here" page before you set off.
