Anticipate A Weekend Of Legendary Performances At Desaru Coast Ombak Festival 2025
Following a breakout debut that drew crowds from the region last year, Ombak Festival returns to Desaru Coast from 12th to 14th September 2025 with an even bigger celebration of global and Southeast Asian creativity, culture, and community. Set against Malaysia's ASEAN Chairmanship year, the 2025 edition expands its spotlight on regional talent across music, performance, arts, food, and family-friendly experiences with Ombak Kids. Presented by Desaru Coast — the award-winning destination resort and home to five-star resorts all within walking distance of the festival village, grounds, and stages — Ombak Festival celebrates vibrant outdoor living with a distinctly Malaysian flair, natural charm, and a warm, inclusive vibe that resonates with every kind of festival-goer. 'For our second year, building on our intentionally diverse ethos, we are going bolder in vision, broader in scope and bursting with Southeast Asian soul. The play this year is to intrepidly represent the best of ASEAN by uniting global icons with regional talents to stage an unparalleled experience of live music, taste explorations, and artistic expression in one ultimate weekend,' said Karina Ridzuan, Director of Ombak Festival. What sets Ombak Festival apart is the fact that it is truly 'The Ultimate Weekend' for everyone to enjoy, with an array of F&B offerings, a strong arts lineup, and dedicated Ombak Kids programming for the younger folk. Last year's success has led to the return of several crowd favourites to the 2025 edition: the grill stylings of Andrew Walsh and Carbon KL on the culinary side, and kitemaking with Go Fly Kites and 10-foot festival puppets Meera & Fiz under Ombak Kids. On the arts side, Segaris Art Centre is once again collaborating with local schoolchildren to showcase art techniques.
