Calling all Kenyalang Warriors, your most-awaited event of the year is here! Borneo’s biggest EDM festival is BACK for its third year, and it’s shaping up to be its biggest yet.

Borderland Music Festival 2025 returns on 5 and 6 September at the iconic Sarawak Cultural Village in Kuching, Sarawak.

Brace yourselves for the third edition of Borderland Music Festival 2025, continuing their ‘tradition’ of combining the world’s biggest DJ icons, epic stage design, vibrant local art, and a roaring crowd from all across the region for two incredible nights.

Here’s everything you need to know about Borderland Music Festival 2025:

1. Nothing but the best DJs of the 🌏

When it comes to great music festivals, you can’t deny that an equally awesome lineup from all over the world is essential — and Borderland Music Festival 2025 doesn’t disappoint! These are some of the internationally- and regionally-renowned DJs and musicians who’ll be blowing off the figurative roof:

• Darren Styles (UK)

Known for anthems like Satellite and Come Running, this UK hardcore EDM legend has been setting dance floors ablaze for decades with his unique sound of “happy hardcore”.

• Gammer (UK)

Another icon of the UK happy hardcore scene, Gammer loves dishing out filthy drops, anime samples, and absolute rave mayhem on the dancefloor. Expect everything from dubstep to J-pop in his sets!

• ZAPRAVKA (RU)

This mysterious and genre-blurring EDM duo is famed for their hypnotic, dark, and cinematic-like techno, with deep, industrial textures and eerie sonic layers that’ll leave you hypnotised.

• WUKONG (SG)

Singapore’s bass beast LOVES infusing Eastern mythology with festival-grade bangers,  a cultural mash-up wrapped in sub-bass and war drums that unveil as a cinematic experience — truly the monkey king of EDM.

• Belle Sisoski (MY)

One of Malaysia’s rising stars in the trance and melodic electronic scene, Belle Sisoski blends the traditional sounds of Borneo and EDM, incorporating instruments like the Sape (a traditional lute) into her electronic compositions. Not to mention Belle is a Sarawakian herself, so this is your chance to see our homegirl perform in her ‘kampung’!

• Jovynn (MY)

Whether it’s on TikTok or the stage, DJ Jovynn’s music oozes Gen Z cool and MC energy with viral flips of nostalgic R&B hits and dreamy lo-fi bops.

And that’s just the first-phase lineup! We heard more acts will be announced soon, so stay tuned for more updates.

Expect to party to the electrifying live sounds of EDM while being surrounded by the natural beauty of the Borneo rainforest. It’s a music experience you can get only at Borderland Music Festival 2025.

2. A Sarawakian cultural paradise 

But the beats are just one part of the festival. Beyond the DJ decks and laser lights, Borderland Music Festival is also a cultural playground that showcases the heart and soul of Borneo through traditional dance performances, heritage-inspired workshops, and bustling food fairs that celebrate the region’s rich culinary legacy.

Get ready to immerse yourselves in the artistry of local crafts, connect with indigenous communities, and experience rituals and stories passed down through generations.

From vibrant tribal art installations to interactive cultural zones, Borderland creates a multi-sensory journey that goes far beyond a typical rave. With the support of the Ministry of Tourism, Creative Industry & Performing Arts Sarawak, the festival proudly serves as a platform for local creatives and cultural custodians to shine.
