Indonesian festivals are always ready to deliver the best electronic beats and most vibrant stage design. From the electronic-fueled DWP to the vibrant We The Fest, these are the festivals you can’t miss.
Here’s your ultimate guide to the top festivals in Indonesia in 2023.
Jakarta
Dubbed one of Asia’s largest electronic festivals, the mammoth DWP lives up to its name. With over a decade of festival planning under its belt, the multi-day event is a pro at curating lineups and designing stages.
Beyond its futuristic-themed productions and hard-to-score acts (yes, Steve Aoki and Alesso are included), the mighty DWP keeps you entertained with activities. From massage sessions to face painting, the Indonesian festival has it all.
Jakarta
Festivals are more than just pure music – at least this is what We The Fest says. While every festival-goer digs its multi-genre lineup consisting of rock, pop and electronic, the Indonesia-based festival is much more than that.
We The Fest became a trailblazer in the country’s live music scene thanks to its mix of beats, arts, fashion, and finger-licking food.
Jakarta
If you’re wondering where Jakarta’s metalheads spend their festival time, the answer is Hammersonic. The two-day event serves the punk, rock, and metal niches with roaring lineups. Industry leaders who graced Hammersonic’s stages include the likes of Slipknot, Amon Amarth, and Trivium.
The stage design is not to be sniffed at either. Oozing industrial vibes and raw structures, Hammersonic stays loyal to its aesthetics.
Jakarta
Despite its recent launch, Berdendang Bergoyang is anything but a rookie. Mainly catering to Gen Zers, the Jakarta music event brings in commercial talents across the most listened genres.
That’s not to say the festival doesn’t pay attention to homegrown talent – on the contrary. Since its inception, Berdendang Bergoyang has been bringing some of Indonesia’s most promising acts.
Bali
Envision the exhilaration of attending Ultra Bali – a three-day electronic celebration where you can lose yourself in electrifying EDM, techno, and underground music.
Ultra Music Festival doesn’t just settle for bringing in A-list performers such as Afrojack, Carl Cox and David Guetta. They also strive to offer a one-of-a-kind experience blending advanced technology with awe-inspiring visuals.
Bali
Cute and cozy, Joyland Bali has an all-inclusive approach to festival experiences. Despite its boutique size, the multi-day event encompasses everything that is fun and friendly. Apart from its experimental music and popular acts, the Bali event keeps you entertained with a slew of on-site activities.
Jakarta
Less is more seems to be Everblast Festival’s mantra. With a relentless commitment to giving festival-goers the time of their life, the music event stands with one foot in the past and one in the future.
We aren’t necessarily talking about stage production. Everblast Festival brings in tomorrow’s stars with yesteryear’s iconic bands for a nostalgic yet high-spirited lineup.
