It doesn’t take much to decode why this outdoor concert is among the most-awaited of the year in Malaysia. For one, it’s set within the enchanting surrounds of The Ranch – a picturesque woodland realm about halfway up the vacationer honeypot that is Genting Highlands.

Embellished with a vista-laden cable car connection, this proximity to one of the country’s prime alpine resorts also contributes to the lustre of the Good Vibes Festival, as it introduces accommodation, refreshment and entertainment options to fill in the gap between the two-day musical journey.

The festival’s most irresistible charm though is undoubtedly the high-calibre international acts it consistently invites on stage. The likes of The Smashing Pumpkins, Ellie Goulding, The 1975, Alina Baraz and Dua Lipa have illuminated its line-ups since 2013, alongside domestic musical greats such as Seven Collar T-Shirt and Elizabeth Tan.
