“It has always been our vision to make AXEAN a regional traveling festival, changing host countries every year, or even having multiple smaller editions in different countries,” AXEAN Festival co-founder and team leader Piyapong Muenprasertdee reveals. “The reasoning stemmed from us seeing that most Southeast Asian music markets are either very domestic, or receptive towards only western or K-pop artists when it comes to international artists. Thus, if we could help domestic artists cross borders within the region, there could be more opportunities for them to grow an international fanbase. After 2 years being in Singapore, we felt it was the right time to try a new place, and Bali being a tropical paradise with a growing music scene, we think it is the perfect location for artists, delegates and music-lovers alike.”

The showcase has also just unveiled its lineup which includes some of the finest musical acts from around the Asia-Pacific region. Notable highlights include Indonesia's lightcraft, Thailand's LUSS, Philippines' Maki, Malaysia's At Adau, Cambodia's Vanthan, Australia's COTERIE, Japan's HARIKUYAMAKU, Taiwan's I’mdifficult, Hong Kong's The Hertz, Vietnam's Tuimi, Mongolia's Uudee's Swashbuckling Dandies, and China's Puman, among many others.

The bill also features notable Singaporean acts Linying, San & The Workshop and Josh Makazo, alongside the Indonesian-born and Singapore-based Rangga Jones.

This year, AXEAN will also wrap up with a private songwriting camp, the newest addition to its diverse and extensive range of programming. The initiative aims to foster a spirit of creativity and inclusivity in a globalized setting while nurturing cross-cultural collaboration amongst the finest and most promising songwriters, producers and artists from around the world.

“For us, it’s all about enabling artists and furthering their careers; for Bali, it just made sense to do a camp and create good vibes, memories, and tracks for all involved,” AXEAN Festival co-founder and co-director David Siow explains.
