Malaysian EDM enthusiasts, we see you!

JUICE is thrilled to share our experience at the triumphant return of the Neon Music Festival (NMF) in Malaysia, courtesy of HiFive Entertainment, which took place on the shores of Sunway Lagoon Surf Beach last Friday (October 6th).

After a prolonged hiatus, this much-awaited event made a spectacular comeback, merging the worlds of music lovers, food enthusiasts, and art aficionados – as great festivals often do.

As fans of EDM ourselves, we understand the void that the absence of NMF left in our local entertainment scene. This time around, HiFive Entertainment, spearheaded by SAP Traders Sdn Bhd, went above and beyond to ensure that the festival met our expectations, with a diverse lineup featuring international sensations like Wukong from Singapore (with surprise guest Ms. Puiyi!), the UK’s very own Ben Nicky, and Australia’s trumpeting maestro, Timmy Trumpet. Of course, our homegrown legends Chukiess and Whackboi also graced the stage, adding a touch of that “Malaysian magic” to the mix.

Apart from that, festival-goers were treated to a carefully curated gastronomic journey, making the event a holistic experience. HiFive collaborated with renowned food vendors and restaurants, ensuring that attendees were left with an array of delectable treats to fuel up on.

As mentioned, art enthusiasts were not left behind either. The festival grounds were transformed into a canvas of creativity, featuring interactive art installations, live mural painting, and various other artistic expressions. We believe that this fusion of music and art really created an environment where attendees could engage all their senses, making the festival a truly immersive one.

Of course, in light of the challenges faced by the global community, HiFive Entertainment also took every precaution to create a safe and inclusive space for all attendees. Stringent health, safety, and security measures were implemented, adhering to the guidelines set forth by local authorities. The wellbeing of every participant was of paramount importance.

With an eye for detail and a passion for entertainment, HiFive Entertainment is dedicated to bringing forth events that entail immense joy and connection among people. If you missed NMF this year, don’t worry – there will be many more opportunities for you to witness HiFive’s events in all their glory.
