The annual Good Vibes Festival is back, returning to its much-loved location in Genting Highlands. Despite last year’s controversy surrounding The 1975 frontman Matty Healy, the festival promises to bring back “good vibes” to music lovers and festival-goers alike with an exciting lineup of musical artists.
“This time around, our aim is clear: to rebuild and let everyone know that Good Vibes Festival is here to stay. Many of the artists that didn’t get to perform last year will get another chance on the stage this year,” expressed Wan Alman, Director of Entertainment at Future Sound Asia. “We’re hoping to move forward and are excited to introduce everyone to our brand-new venue in Genting Highlands. I hope everyone is excited to make new memories and relive all the good times we had.”
The festival will take place over the course of two days on July 20 and 21 at the Resorts World Awana, specifically at the Genting Highlands Premium Outlets (GHPO) bus parking located at the mid-hill of Genting Highlands, Pahang.
