UPDATE: Arthur’s Day @ Sunway Lagoon, PJ, MY, 25 Sep
It's the 250th year since Arthur first brewed the iconic dry stout, and celebrations will kick off with one massive party all over the world. Five cities around the globe will kick off their own parties simultaneously, and Kuala Lumpur is one of them!
To usher in the G250 celebrations, artists and celebs worldwide will be raising a glass to the great Arthur at exactly 5.59pm on Arthur's Day including Sir Bob Geldof, Guy Ritchie and ex-model Sophie Dahl. Some major music acts will also join in the fun like Estelle and the heirs to the Stone Roses themselves, Kasabian.
Who do Malaysians get? None other than the Black Eyed Peas! The party-startin' foursome will be whipping out their too-infectious-for-your-own-good hits from their new album The END like 'Boom Boom Pow' and 'I Gotta Feeling'.
The Arthur's Day celebration will also see the Arthur's Fund in Malaysia unveiled. The Arthur's Fund will honour the legacy of the great man and his descendants, responsible for some of the most well-known charity acts in their native Ireland.
But that's not all. Lucky winners will get a chance to live through remarkable, once-in-a-lifetime experiences like flying in zero gravity in Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic, the world's first spaceline, or toasting the Black Stuff in the luxurious G250 Underwater Bar in the seas of Norway!
Update (27 August): The Black Eyed Peas concert will be for non-Muslims only. Read about that HERE. Don't be too dejected: you can also sign up for DiGi Music Unlimited and stand a chance to meet BEP in person!
Update (2 Sep): Now Channel News Asia reports that the organisers of the concert, Artists World Entertainment, have changed their minds and will allow anyone, Muslim or not, to attend the concert. As long as you're over 18, that is.

Yo.. what's the dress code to be ?
No doubt about that, Luce. I am fully aware of what you are capable of. :)
And oh yes, it can be embraced. Something that humanity should keep in mind is: "Love your enemies."
stop stealing my thunder
Gabby, God didn't make me boss for nothing.
Anyway, we should find a way to make 'aku' embrace the love that Arthur's creation has to offer, don't you think?
And here I thought Lust has been endeavouring your will quite gloriously whilst you were presumably on hiatus...
Nope, too much work up here on earth. I'm very much dedicated to my job you see, what's with Arthur's Day coming up..
Oh? Lucifer, you're here? Last time I checked, you were in chains. With all the stoning supposed to commence throughout the month.
