One of the most highly anticipated music festivals in Indonesia, We The Fest (WTF) is back this year with an even more exciting lineup! The event that is organized by Ismaya Live will be held for three days, starting from 19 until 21 July 2019.
This summer festival filled with music, arts, fashion, and food will take place at Jakarta International Expo (JI Expo), Kemayoran. Earlier in February, WTF announced the phase one lineup to this exciting event. Two months later in April, they teased their social media followers with illustrations of the phase two lineup. When finally revealed not long after, the buzz of the people’s excitement still continues on even to this day.
International artists like pop sensation Troye Sivan, pop artist Anne-Marie, R&B artist Daniel Caesar, pop band Cigarette After Sex and indie pop band Alvvays are what the whole buzz is all about. The public is also hyped up and looking forward to hearing the soothing voice of Nadin Amizah, the emotional songs of Kunto Aji, Pamungkas’ calming performing aura and the beats of Elephant Kind or FourTwnty
Other artists in the line-up include the American hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd, rapper 6lack, DJs like Anna Lunoe and Cashmere Cat, singer-songwriters like BAYNK, Cade, and Dean, local indie band Barasuara and many many more.
