One of Hong Kong cinema's most bankable faces is finally taking the Coliseum stage. Louis Koo (古天樂), the actor behind decades of Cantonese blockbusters, will headline two nights at the Hong Kong Coliseum this August under the cheeky title Louis Koo MY FIRST SHOW — his first-ever concert after a film career stretching back to the 1990s. Here is the date, the ticket prices and what to expect from a screen star's debut on the city's most famous stage.

Who is Louis Koo, and why a concert now?
Louis Koo is one of Hong Kong's most prolific film actors, with a filmography running to well over a hundred titles since he broke through in the 1990s. He is not primarily known as a singer, but has released a string of Cantopop tracks across his career, and at a press conference on 29 June 2026 he confirmed he would headline his first full concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum — a venue better known for hosting the city's biggest recording artists than its movie stars.
Koo told reporters he deliberately avoided calling the event a "concert", preferring the word "show" to set expectations for a looser, more playful evening where the audience can "have fun together" rather than watch a conventional vocal recital. He also said rehearsals include movement and dance training, so expect some choreography on the up-tempo numbers, even if he ruled out elaborate stunts or pyrotechnics for the room.
Louis Koo MY FIRST SHOW (古天樂 MY FIRST SHOW)
Public sale opened on 3 July 2026 after a DBS-card priority window on 26 June and a Klook package presale on 29 June. With Koo's screen fame and only two nights on sale, expect the lower price tiers to move fastest — book early through Cityline or Urbtix if you want a seat.
When and where is the show?
Both nights run at the Hong Kong Coliseum (紅磡香港體育館) in Hung Hom, the 12,500-seat indoor arena that has hosted virtually every major Cantopop star of the last four decades. Doors are timed around an 8:15pm start on both 21 and 22 August 2026, so a weeknight and a Saturday date — useful if you are deciding which one to book around a work schedule.

How much are tickets, and how do you book?
Tickets are split across four price tiers: HK$1,080, HK$880, HK$680 and HK$480. DBS credit cardholders had first access on 26 June, a Klook exclusive package went on presale on 29 June, and general public sale opened on 3 July 2026 via Cityline and Urbtix, the two official platforms for the Hong Kong Coliseum.
Because this is a two-night run rather than a longer residency, and Koo's film fame extends well beyond his usual music audience, expect strong demand from casual fans who wouldn't normally book a Cantopop show. If your preferred date or price tier is sold out, keep an eye on official resale through Cityline rather than third-party marketplaces.
What can you expect on the night?
Koo has confirmed the setlist will draw on his own back catalogue of Cantopop singles built up over a screen career spanning three decades, alongside guest appearances he has teased but not yet named. Expect a relaxed, crowd-interaction-heavy format — he has joked about singing from within the audience, though he acknowledged venue security would limit how far that idea could go.
Dance is also on the cards: Koo said rehearsals include movement training aimed at coordination rather than pure choreography, so up-tempo numbers are likely to carry some staged moves, while slower ballads will stay simpler given he'll be singing live with a handheld microphone. Don't expect elaborate pyrotechnics or stunts — he has ruled those out as impractical for the venue.
Getting to the Hong Kong Coliseum
The Hong Kong Coliseum sits at 9 Cheong Wan Road, Hung Hom, Kowloon, directly above Hung Hom MTR Station on the East Rail and Tuen Ma lines — take Exit D1 and it's roughly a five-minute walk, largely under cover. If you're coming from Hong Kong Island, the Star Ferry to Hung Hom and the cross-harbour bus routes are also popular on concert nights, though MTR remains the fastest option given the venue's location right beside the station.
