Highlights
1. The Kumar Show: April 2019 Edition

A music festival that celebrates local and regional musicians, it will feature the likes of Charlie Lim, Justin Oh, DJ Soda and Higher Brothers. The 3-day event celebrates on all things Asian: think Asian street snacks at the Streetfood Village, screenings of films such as Matangi/Maya/M.I.A. and art installations by Borneo Art Collective.
