On Saturday, the TV station will redefine just how much fun you can have at one event by having the best shows — most captivating dancers and most fascinating acts — under one roof.

Beginning with ground activities at 4pm, immerse yourself in high-energy, fun-filled activities, where for one day, 1Utama’s Old Wing Open Carpark will be turned into a swanky party space. Revellers will be entertained by some of the most celebrated performers for eight hours.

The Big 8 Bash will see a two-hour Chinese concert moving into a two-hour Urban gig, which will ultimately lead to the eventual countdown of 8TV’s 8th Anniversary, which falls on Sunday.

Experience the reeling bass from local bands such as The Azenders, Kyoto Protocol and Enterprise, as well as Henley Hii, Karen Kong, Ultimate Power Star winner Vivian Chua and first runner-up Kopi Lim, Reza Salleh and Liyana Fizi.

Get your adrenaline pumping as Joe Flizzow, Sona One, Altimate, Arabyrd and Showdown 2011 winner Elecoldxhot heat things up. Adding to the excitement are international acts Nicholas Teo and Aga, winner of Super Idol Season 4.

Group general manager of 8TV and ntv7, Airin Zainul, says: “Eight years ago, we had a big dream and an idea. Now, we’ve grown, thanks to the viewers and the dedication and hard work of the team that make up the 8TV family.

“Of course, we’ve faced obstacles throughout the years, but we’ve grown stronger through it all. As Barbara Hoffman once said: ‘Stop worrying about the potholes in the road and celebrate the journey.’ That’s exactly what we’re doing.”

8TV first made public its anniversary celebration last October, when its eco-friendly event, Fun Hunt, took place. The flimflam of the celebration kicked off on Oct 12, which marked the 88-day countdown to the station’s 8th anniversary.

That’s not all. The 8TV mascot Pow Pow also went on a frenzy, invading media and client territories and throwing his diapers all over the place. This big baby mascot was also seen spreading the joy of celebration when he joined the 8TV Celebr8ty Char8ty Drive on Dec 1.
