If you think your coffee fix and morning ciggie will just do, to boost some good vibes in you to kick-start the day, that’s when you need to know there is more than meets the eye. Simply because Future Sound Asia (FSA) has proudly announced the debut of Good Vibes Festival, a homebrewed event happening this 17th of August at none other than the Sepang International Kart Circuit. Well, where else would it be for an outdoor event? Good news is, you can even drag your papa, mama and baby sister to the event for it is an all ages festival supported by Ministry of Tourism and Culture and Malaysia Major Events, a division of Malaysia Convention & Exhibition Bureau (MyCEB).
Headlining the festival are lineups of iconic international musicians that of course gonna awe you as we speak – alternative rock pioneer The Smashing Pumpkins, the American indie outfit Modest Mouse, garage rock duo Japandroids and the Irish rock heroes Ash. The best part of this whole excitement, Malaysia is not just another stop-by for the bands as they’re here to exude the good vibes exclusively just for you. To top that off, you wouldn’t call it homebrewed without having along homegrown representatives. Joining the headliners are Liyana Fizi, The Impatient Sisters, They Will Kill Us All, Pastel Lite, Kyoto Protocol, Tenderfist, Pitahati, The Deer Society , Twilight Actiongirl, Monoloque, Pesawat and even more, including acts from around the region – Dudesweet, Poptart and Dipha Barus.
The performing acts will be allocated into 3 colour-coded stages ; Blue, Green and Red. The first stage (Blue) offers you a more laid-back tune with the eccentric electro of Pastel Lite and ever-melancholic The Impatient Sisters, before shifting the gear up to a more energetic vibes with They Will Kill Us All and Japandroids.
As for the second stage (Green), this is the spot where you can just party on with familiar faces at any hip parties around KL, while having Twilight Actiongirl and The Deer Society to take you through the day.
And last but definitely not the least, the Red Stage, where you can swoon yourself with Malaysia’s very own sweetheart, Liyana Fizi, or just bounce around with the rising rock bunch, Kyoto Protocol. At the same time, this is also the dwelling place for the headliners Modest Mouse and The Smashing Pumpkins.
Good Vibes Fest is offering you a whole new level of music experience, in which the Sepang International Kart Circuit will be transformed into a lively and cosy outdoor landscape, laying out three different stages as well as art installations by Nini Ramlan, fashion exhibits by Chic Vibes (collaboration between Tongue In Chic and Chic Yamada) and a food village called GoodBites.
