KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - American superstar Beyonce Knowles is coming to Malaysia for the first time as part of her Beyonce I Am... World Tour on Oct 25.

She will be entertaining fans at 8pm in the National Stadium, Bukit Jalil here, in a concert which is jointly organised by Marctensia and UCSI Communications.

Beyonce's world tour is her third worldwide concert in support of her third studio album, I Am... Sasha Fierce.

The tour has visited North America and Europe.

Tickets for the event here are priced at RM583 (S$237), RM383, RM283, RM183 (numbered seat) and RM93 (free seating).

Tickets will be on sale from Sept 22 to Oct 2.

Beyonce has sold a whopping 75 million records worldwide and is currently the most successful female artiste of the decade.

She is also a successful actress and recently starred in the film Obsessed with Ali Larter of television series Heroes.

Beyonce was scheduled to perform in Malaysia in November 2007 but gave Kuala Lumpur a miss and performed in Jakarta, Indonesia instead.

It is believed that the Grammy Award-winning R&B singer had refused to adhere to the Government's dress code for foreign artistes.

A month earlier, her fellow American pop star Gwen Stefani performed in Putra Stadium, Bukit Jalil adhering to the dress code which prohibited revealing outfits.
