Bali’s vibrant nightlife is getting a boost, with the AXEAN Festival making its epic comeback this Sept. 13 to 14, 2025!

Taking place at Jimbaran Hub, this event is Southeast Asia’s first intra-regional music showcase, combining a music conference and showcase festival. Launched in 2020, it has since grown into an internationally recognized platform, celebrating musical talents from Southeast Asia and beyond.

A vibrant, borderless music playground where fresh sounds collide with creative minds, blending indie talent, cutting-edge electronic beats, and local club culture in one unforgettable weekend.

After wowing crowds last year, AXEAN Festival returns with an expanded lineup featuring over 40 incredible acts from Southeast Asia and beyond.    

A hallmark of the festival is their serious focus on up-and-coming, emerging artists who are ready to take the spotlight but don’t always get the global stage they deserve. 

But it’s not just about the tunes. AXEAN Festival is also a creative hub, featuring a fresh music conference packed with panel talks, pitching sessions, and speed meetings that spark real connections between artists, industry pros, and fans. It’s the perfect place for ideas to flow and partnerships to grow.

And for the creative souls, the legendary songwriting camp returns — a cozy, cross-cultural space where producers, songwriters, and artists collaborate to create magic. Last year, this intimate camp birthed 20 original songs, and this year promises even more.

Plus, for the first time ever, dive into the SEA Club Showcase, a stage dedicated to Southeast Asia’s wild and wonderful electronic subcultures. This lineup celebrates the unique grassroots club sounds making waves internationally, from Indonesian funkot to Filipino budots. 

“Whether you’re a delegate, an artist, or a music lover attending for the first time, we invite you to discover the joy of connection, creativity, and cultural celebration at AXEAN Festival 2025,” AXEAN Festival Co-Founder Piyapong said. 

Grab your 2-day pass for Rp100.000 or a 1-day pass for Rp70.000 and join the party of the year in Bali! Discounted pre-sale tickets are available for a limited time only. Purchase your tickets via their website.

Lineup and more details will be out soon, so stay tuned on their Instagram, Facebook, and X (Formerly Twitter). 

Location: Jimbaran Hub, Jalan. Karang Mas Jimbaran, Bali
