Being the first festival in Malaysia post-pandemic, Good Vibes Weekender presented a stunning mix of heart-thumping music by various artists across the Red and Blue Stages.

Surf Mesa got the crowd grooving to his chill originals and remixes, leading the way for UK DJ duo Snakehips. Recognized for their airy vocal unison, London duo Oh Wonder hit the stage with their electro-pop tracks as the night falls. French-Malaysian singer SonaOne along with Joe Flizzow, Malaysia’s top rapper, had everyone bobbing their heads to the catchy rhythms of “Havoc” and “Baek”. The artist invited SonaOne, Yonnyboii, Airliftz, SYA and SENNA on stage to perform his last song “Orang Lain”. Finally, day one came to a close with CL and her terrific performances accompanied by the delighted screams of adoring fans. The queen of Kpop brought more than joy to the ground with her songs such as “5 Stars”, “Dr. Pepper” and “The Baddest Female”.

Yonnyboii rounded up the homegrown lineups with his charming act on the Red Stage. LA-based DJ Shallou delivered an hour-long set, while British alternative/indie singer-songwriter Beabadoobee took over with her rock playlist and famous track “Coffee”. Appearing with his crew in adorable pink outfits, Pink Sweat$ charmed the crowd with his impeccable voice singing his widely known songs such as “Honesty” and “At My Worst”. Bunga, a local singer and rapper, made a surprise appearance during “I Feel Good” which marked the debut of their collaboration. The two-day festival reached its peak when the long-awaited Kpop sensation Jackson Wang entered the stage after the words “Magic Man” flashed on the screen. The idol lived up to his name as an exceptional artist and wowed the crowd with his singing and dancing skills.
