05 Rainforest Music Festival • Malaysia Set to take place at the Sarawak Cultural Village in Malaysia during the month of July, this music festival is not an ordinary affair.

Evening gigs are performed on a stage built by the lake, under the open sky. St.Jerome’s Laneway festival • Singapore Not a day goes by in Singapore when there is not a gig taking place somewhere in the city, a live band performing or a DJ entertaining the crowds that enjoy diverse varieties of music. St Jerome’s Laneway Festival is one such event that happens in the city-state and attracts massive crowds from across the country. The festival originated from Australia but found its way to Singapore in 2010 and has since then presented names such as Beach House, James Blake, Courtney Barnett, Banks, Royal Blood and many others. 05 05 Ultra Korea • Korea Ultra Korea forms part of the Ultra Music Festival’s worldwide expansion, which has now spread its wings across the globe to reach 20 countries.

This year, to commemorate its fifth anniversary, in addition to the already stacked lineup consisting of Afrojack, Martin Garrix and Avicii, a bass-filled Phase 2 lineup will also be present to entertain hundreds of thousands of bass music lovers.
