GOOD VIBES FESTIVAL 2018

The much-loved Malaysian music festival Good Vibes Festival once again celebrates its homecoming to the rolling greenery of The Ranch at Gohtong Jaya in Genting Highlands by championing international chart-toppers and cutting-edge local acts. Now in its fifth edition, #GoodVibesFest returns this year on 21st and 22nd July. The two-day getaway festival announces its buoyant bill for 2018 which includes New Zealand singer-songwriter Lorde, whose latest album walks a tightrope between art pop and melodrama for the mainstream; arenafillers English alt-prog trio alt-J, on singular form fresh off the success of third full-length release Relaxer; and American act The Neighbourhood, whose signature moody, slinky sound will prove fitting against the backdrop of the highlands at The Ranch.

On the local lineup, acts announced include Altimet, one of Malaysia’s most prolific rappers who will be performing with The Kawan Band on the day; Noh Salleh, the awardwinning solo artiste and frontman of indie rock stalwarts Hujan; five-piece rock’n’rollers Kyoto Protocol; electro duo darlings Pastel Lite; fast-rising feisty rapper Zamaera; and Malaysian indie-pop artiste Froya.
