Yonder Music Live Series: Dato' Siti Nurhaliza & Friends Concert (also known as Dato' Siti Nurhaliza & Friends Concert or simply Dato' Siti Nurhaliza & Friends) was a single day concert by Malaysian recording artist, Siti Nurhaliza. Sponsored by Celcom and Yonder Music, the free concert was only available exclusively to Celcom users who are subscribers of the Yonder Music mobile app. It was held on 2 April 2016 and she was supported and accompanied by five Malaysian artists and three Indonesian artists. Staged at Stadium Negara, the supporting acts during the night of the concert were Faizal Tahir, Hafiz Suip, Jaclyn Victor, Joe Flizzow, and SonaOne of Malaysia and Afgansyah Reza, Anggun, and Cakra Khan from Indonesia.
Most of the songs that were performed at the concert were taken from her own repertoire. The selected songs were performed either by Siti on her own or as a duet or as a group with the supporting artists. She also performed for the first time a "digital duet" with Whitney Houston for the song "Memories". The concert was a success with more than 7000 attendees came to watch the concert. It received positive feedback and reviews from concert reviewers and critics who praised Siti's vocals and overall showmanship.

"Dato’ Siti Nurhaliza & Friends is both an expression of our gratitude and utmost respect for Dato’ Siti’s contribution to the Malaysian music industry as one of the nation’s leading artist over the past two decades. The event itself marks the beginning of a second chapter, with an extraordinary band from New York City, full orchestra and a constellation of guest stars. It’s going to be the brightest of nights."
The news of the concert was first announced by Siti on 20 January 2016 during her 37th birthday celebration. She originally decided to take a break from performing for major concerts in 2016. However, she decided to postpone her rest after she was approached by Yonder Music with the idea and the offer of organizing a special concert for her. She also revealed that this concert will be her last before an extended hiatus until July 2016 so that she can focus on her personal life after experiencing a miscarriage in 2015. In the original plan, the concert was supposed to take place at the Plenary Hall of Kuala Lumpur Convention Center (KLCC) on 5 and 6 March 2016. However, after a follow-up meeting with the main organizers of the concert, the concert was later rescheduled to 2 April 2016. The final date for the concert was also chosen to coincide with the celebration of her 20th year involvement in the music industry.
