#SHOWBIZ: Indonesian pop-rockers Juicy Luicy to headline KL's Ruang Inspirasi Festival
The festival, which champions top musical talent from both Indonesia and Malaysia, is a collaborative effort by Expoindo and Thrive.
Beyond showcasing emerging and established artistes from both nations, its core aim is to cultivate friendship and cooperation among music enthusiasts in the region.
In a recent statement, Expoindo clarified that the festival's name, "Ruang Inspirasi" (Inspiration Space), signifies its purpose: to provide a platform for promising young musicians to expand their fanbase and inspire their followers.
"This time, Juicy Luicy will be returning to KL, treating fans to their timeless hits, including 'Lantas', 'Lampu Kuning', and 'Sialan'," the statement read.
It also added that artistes participating in the festival would engage directly with fans, sharing personal experiences throughout the event.
"It's set to be an intimate concert, and we hope to take this festival to other major Malaysian cities in the coming years," Expoindo commented.
Johnathon Wong, a representative from BBO Events, expressed his hopes for the event: "We believe this festival will forge stronger connections between Indonesian and Malaysian musicians, paving the way for exciting future collaborations."
Tickets for the show range from RM128 to RM528 and can be purchased online at ri-fest.com/kualalumpur.
