High-flying Indonesian and leading South-East Asian R&B band Juicy Luicy to headline Malaysia's Ruang Inspirasi Festival (RIF) on Aug 17
High-flying Indonesian band Juicy Luicy, South-East Asia's top pop-rock R&B band, is coming to town. And save the date - Aug 17, 2025; as music fans in Malaysia, especially the younger generation, will be treated to a more happening, inspiring, and emotional concert experience through the Ruang Inspirasi Festival (RIF), which is set to take place at the Mega Star Arena, Kuala Lumpur. And this is only the first phase of the announcement, as the organisers plan to bring more top bands for the festival, which will be the second phase of the announcement — the concert is presented by Expoindo together with local concert organiser Thrive. "RIF brings a fresh concept that combines musical performances with elements of inspiration and sharing the stories behind the popular works of the artists involved. "This festival is not just an ordinary concert, but rather a platform to instill positive spirit and inspiration through music," said organiser Expoindo, adding RIF is a music show featuring the most awaited musicians by fans in Kuala Lumpur. 'The name 'Ruang Inspirasi' itself was born from our desire to provide a space where music not only entertains, but also touches the soul and inspires. This edition, we feature the famous alternative pop group from Indonesia, Juicy Luicy, as the main artist. This group is no stranger to local music fans through their hit songs such as 'Lantas', 'Lampu Kuning', 'Sialan', and many more. They have also been mentioned by many top music writers to currently be the foremost R&B group in the Nusantara region. 'There is no doubt that Juicy Luicy is one of the most loved artists by the younger generation in Malaysia. Their songs are not only close to the listeners' life experiences, but are also loaded with strong emotional messages. That is why they were chosen as the main focus of RIF this year,' said Bram Tulong, representing Expoindo. Juicy Luicy is the first phase artist for the Ruang Inspirasi Festival (RIF) 2025. The announcement for the second phase artists will be made soon! This is an inspiring combination for everyone. A combination that is the first time in Malaysia, specifically for fans here. According to Bram, the artists who perform at the festival will also share their personal stories and their journeys in the music world, making it a closer and more meaningful experience for everyone in attendance. 'We want the audience to feel closer to the artists, not just watching from afar. There is a space for sharing, stories, and inspiration that makes every moment more personal and profound,' he said. Through this festival, Expoindo also plans to expand the organisation of RIF to other major cities in Malaysia, to strengthen the community spirit through music and make this festival a regional platform that connects artists from Indonesia, Malaysia, and also the region. 'We hope that RIF will be a cultural bridge that further strengthens the bilateral relationship between the Malaysian and Indonesian entertainment industries. At the same time, we want to spread positive values and inspiration to the community through the music we bring,' explained Johnathon Wong, representative of BBO Events.
