Coachella who? Here are Top 5 SEA Music Festivals Happening in 2020

If your idea of having a good time is frolicking festival grounds in the season’s trendiest outfits with your squad, then get ready for the time of your life! In recent years, we’ve been lucky to have so many incredible International acts hit up our shores! Last year, we’ve had solo acts with the likes of Honne, Kodaline, and Snow Patrol hit up KL venues as well as the Good Vibes Festival which saw some of the biggest names in music all in one spot. 

 

Since we’ve established that you don’t have to go too far to get your #goodvibes, why not hit up all the music festivals around the region in 2020? Check out these 5 Music Festivals that Southeast Asia has to offer in 2020:

This year’s Good Vibes Festival is set to be the biggest one yet - happening over THREE days over the weekend, instead of the usual two! With big name acts like Rae Srummerd, Cigarettes After Sex and Daniel Caeser gracing the stage in last year’s fest, we’ll be expecting even bigger names to follow for this year.
