HONG KONG (SCMP): Hong Kong remains an attractive destination for international artists to hold concerts, but the lack of a large venue may have deterred some big names from coming, industry players have said.

Mega acts such as Taylor Swift, Coldplay and The 1975 skipped the city for world tours which will include places such as Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand.
