KUALA LUMPUR: After a nine-year hiatus, the iconic entertainment awards show Anugerah Melodi is making a grand return, rebranded as Anugerah Melodi Terhangat 2025 (AMT2025).
With the theme “As Outstanding As Performance, As Hot As Sensation, Uniquely Talented!”, AMT2025 aims to celebrate not only mainstream celebrities but also digital personalities and influencers who have significantly impacted the local entertainment scene.
The show promises modern, interactive performances tailored for today’s social media-driven audience.
TV3’s General Manager of Content Programming, Marlia Zul Amran, emphasised the show’s focus: “This isn’t about who’s trending the most this week—it’s about those who truly bring value and impact. AMT 2025 celebrates individuals who treat the arts as their foundation, not just as content. It’s about those who are making waves through performance, not controversy.”
She added, “Today marks a pivotal moment to ignite excitement—not just among fans, but across the entire industry—as we head toward the grand night of AMT 2025. It is a tribute to the brilliance of our celebrities and the entertainment world, because the hottest is chosen by you!”
“The return of AMT after nine years comes with a renewed spirit—bolder, louder, and more explosive! This is just the beginning of a night that will make history. It reflects our vision to deliver entertainment that’s not only seen but felt. We’re here to reclaim our role as industry leaders by truly understanding the heartbeat of audiences and the entertainment landscape.”
Led by project manager Russel Mark Rodrigues, the production combines entertainment prestige with digital innovation.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 and Flip7 are headlining as the event’s technology partner, promising an immersive, tech-driven experience.
Meanwhile, Proton, the official car partner, is adding excitement with its exclusive Proton X50 Superstar Choice Award, where the winner will drive away in a brand-new Proton X50.
The evening’s award presenters include a stellar line-up: Ernie Zakri, Fattah Amin, Siti Hariesa, Hisyam Hamid, Christy Ng, Ceddy Ng, Dolla, Syed Saddiq, Bella Astillah, Faizal Hussein, Che Puan Sarimah Ibrahim, Anuar Zain, Ziana Zain, and DeFam.
Special performances will feature top acts such as Ella, Anuar Zain, Marsha Milan, DeFam, KOI, Iman Troye, Ara Johari, and Indonesian artiste Fajar Noor.
AMT2025 is poised to become one of the most talked-about events of the year, blending glitz, viral culture, and Malaysian talent under one roof.
The gala night will take place at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre this Sunday and will be broadcast live on TV3 and livestreamed via Tonton.
