Good Vibes Festival celebrates 10th anniversary with a stellar lineup this July 2023

Following last year’s Good Vibes Weekender which saw headliners CL and Jackson Wang performing in Sunway Lagoon’s Surf Beach (alongside homeboy NYK and R&B artist Pink Sweat$), Good Vibes Festival is bringing its full force to Sepang International Circuit for its 10th anniversary this July. 

This marks the premier music festival’s return to its original three-day format from 21 to 23 July, 2023—promising its “biggest lineup to date”.

“Sepang holds a lot of history for us—it’s where the very first Good Vibes Festival was held way back in 2013. Since then, we’ve had our fair share of ups and downs but we’re proud to still be here 10 years later,” said Future Sound Asia entertainment director Wan Alman. 

He added: “It’s all coming full circle as we go back to where we started, only better. For starters, we’ll be pulling out all the stops to transform the venue into the festival grounds that everyone has come to know and love. We’re working with a number of local as well as international artists to showcase their art installations, some of which have famously been featured in prominent music festivals worldwide.”

Without further ado, read on to find out everything you need to know about Good Vibes Festival 2023. 

 

THE LINEUP

As some might have already guessed from the #GVF2023 promotional teaser, English pop rock group The 1975 (About You, Robbers) will headline the festival for the second time after their performance in 2016. Other main acts include American rock band The Strokes (Last Nite, Reptilia) and Australian teenage rapper The Kid Laroi (Stay, Thousand Miles). 

Two South Korean rappers from the Dream Perfect Regime (DPR) label will also be making their way to our shores, namely DPR Live (Jasmine, Text Me) and DPR Ian (No Blueberries, So Beautiful). Not to mention, Irish singer-songwriter Dermot Kennedy (Paradise, Power Over Me) will be showcasing his golden vocals that have charmed sold-out stadiums around the world, whilst London-born Singaporean American star Dhruv is set to perform his viral pop hits including Double Take and Moonlight. Among the other international artists in the lineup include NxWorries (comprising duo Anderson .Paak and Knxwledge), Giveon, Gryffin, Sabrina Carpenter and Peach Tree Rascals

Meanwhile, local acts including hip-hop artist and producer Airliftz (our November 2022 cover star!), dance music veteran DJ Blink, singer-songwriter Lunadira, Instagram’s rising DJ Jovynn, and New York-based pop singer Jaie will also be taking to the festival stage. More acts are expected to be added to the bill in the weeks to come. 

 

THE SPACE

Thanks to a larger venue, #GVF2023 is set to showcase a host of art installations by local and international artists, as well as uniquely curated spaces. Expect a bigger and bolder Electric Fields, the festival’s third stage where a mix of international and local DJs, electronic and hip hop acts will be dropping dance anthems. There will also be supersized VIP areas and a Good Bites food village featuring a plethora of food vendors, including a plant-based section by Harvest Gourmet. For the first time ever, the festival will also boast a Ferris wheel to provide stunning views of the festival grounds—the perfect setup for those festival selfies!
