Our country’s most famous musical export, Yuna is ready to add festival director to her already mind-blowing repertoire. Come March 11, the R&B chanteuse, known for her high-profile collaborations with Usher and The Internet (among many others) will be giving us the first taste of her own carefully curated music, arts and life festival. Headlined by its founder herself, Lovelifest (pronounced Lovely Fest) will also showcase performances by her longtime friends (Hujan, Oh Chentaku, Aizat) as well as up-and-coming artists signed to her 10-year-old label, Yuna Room Records (Bil Musa, Enterprise).
Other notable names on the bill include indie rock legends OAG, synth-pop duo Pastel Lite and soul-singer Najwa Mahiaddin. Following the theme of keeping things local, Lovelifest will be joined by clothing-lifestyle brands such as November Culture, Tarik Jeans, Against Lab and Pantun Pins. On the food front, expect delicious grub from the likes of Curbside Cantina, Honcho Pizza Parlour and Mustafa Jones Burger (yes, THAT Mustafa Jones). Open to all ages, the event will be held at Setia City Park, Setia Alam. Is it time to shop for some picnic blankets? We think so!
