This year’s edition brings together dancers and cultural leaders from Thailand, Japan, Vietnam, China, India, and beyond. The four-day festival features high-energy dance battles on Hip-House & House music, judged by world-class names in the scene such as Odilon, Rufu, Luenmo, and Finale.
Beyond the competition, the program expands into “Theatre Night: Pulse of Origin,” an experimental program that blends dance with storytelling and cultural performance, as well as workshops, panels, and cultural exchanges, where artistry, community, and tradition meet to highlight Southeast Asia’s growing role in the global hip-hop scene.
Since its debut in 2022 by Bangkok-based Street dance collective Thrixept, BADVIBES Battle is more than just a battle — it’s a platform that empowers dancers, highlights artists, and fosters meaningful dialogue through dance.
