Sporting shaved heads, tattoo-covered torsos and leather boots, hundreds of Malaysian skinheads converged on Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur over the weekend for full-throated live music performances.

Held at Chin Woo Stadium, the concert featured 18 live bands from Malaysia and Singapore during the festival called This is Oi! Kuala Lumpur Skinhead Gathering Party.
