Revellers in Soho Free House PenangRaise AToast “To Arthur”At arTHURSDAY

Penang, 14 September – GUINNESS® Malaysia treated its fans to yet another night of fun, music and pints of the black brew at the arTHURSDAY party in Soho Free House, Penang, just before the real Arthur's day event which my last post had covered. So we're invited to the event.

During the event, emcee, Cody Lim brought games, activities and prizes for the GUINNESS fans. Some fans even walked home with free tickets to the Arthur’s Day™ concert! The crowd’s favorite activity of the night was what they called the ‘Human Jukebox’, where GUINNESS® fans who were bold enough to step up to the play, had the power to choose the music of their choice.

As i reported on previous post, GUINNESS is taking the celebrations up a notch this year, some of the hottest international music stars; Five for Fighting, All American Rejects and The Wanted are set to rock the Arthur’s Day™ main stage on 27th September 2013 at Sepang International Circuit! 

According to the plan, the 3 International music icons, 5 hours of non-stop live music and a global scale concert, Arthur's Day™ 2013 is set to be one of the biggest and boldest celebration yet. 

So, for those who still not sure, let me assure you again, this year Arthur's day is falling on 27 September 2013 at Sepang International Circuit! More info? Just view my last post about the ticketing/ price. This year’s celebration is with the themed of  “honoring those who make bolder choices in life” in honor of people like Arthur Guinness who some say, is one of the boldest man in history.
