The 1½-hour “Four in Love” charity concert at the 50,000-seat stadium in Kai Tak Sports Park started after 6.30pm, more than 30 minutes later than the scheduled 6pm, and ended at around 8pm.
With the concert featuring singers Jay Fung Wan-him, Cloud Wan Ho-ying and Jace Chan Hoi-wing, as well as local band Dear Jane, the stadium was hosting its biggest crowd yet ahead of a packed calendar of major events in the coming months.
The show was among a series of trials at the park, which opens in March.
Fung said he was elated to be the first singer to ever take the stage in the stadium, which will be the city’s biggest venue, and took a selfie with the audience to mark the moment.
