This year’s GVF was even bigger too, with its new and improved Electric Fields being expanded into a full-on stage at the field adjacent to the main stage grounds, featuring local and international DJs, hip-hop and electronic acts. The homegrown festival even collaborated with Boiler Room, a London-based music platform that broadcasts performances from all over the world!
GVF also put up vibrant art installations designed by local artists Pamela Tan and Suzy Sulaiman, which became the center of thousands of aesthetically-pleasing Instagram shots.

Netflix even had a booth dedicated to Stranger Things’ latest season, featuring a mini Starcourt Mall with the Mind Flayer perched on top of it. Fans played 80s-inspired games and posed for pictures in the booth’s mini hall of mirrors. Nestle’s La Creameria also had an all-pink booth, which pulled in festival-goers to snap Insta-worthy pictures in a ball pit.
At the Maybank area, festival-goers were given a chance to enjoy a fun ride down an adult-sized tube slide, as well as a chance to win merchandise upon their registration for MAE, Maybank’s e-wallet service. Fans also got their makeup and nails festival-ready at Rimmel’s and H&M’s booths, while taking photos at Passionation’s booth.
