This year’s edition of the festival places extra emphasis on Asia’s indelible food culture with exclusive forward-thinking dishes inspired by flavours from across the region and a diverse range of beverages via the festival’s curated Beer Village. 

This iteration’s performers include 🇲🇾 Malaysia’s cultural icons Masdo and Zamaera, renowned lyrical storyteller Taba Chake from 🇮🇳 India, feel-good alt-rock band Helsinki Lambda Club from 🇯🇵 Japan, and many more. 

The festival is now operating on a pay-cos-you-want system with a 250% tax-deduction for donations over SGD 100 through its charity partner FOUNDATION MUSIC, in the hopes of making the festival accessible to as many people as possible. Donations from the public allow the independent festival to continue its annual efforts to elevate the best music in the ASEAN region, accelerating the artists’ careers and launching them on a global stage.
