KUCHING, June 27: Mark your calendars because the Borneo Sonic Music Festival (BSMF) is making a grand return in 2024, promising an unforgettable celebration of musical diversity and vibrant cultural experiences.

Scheduled for Oct 11 and 12 at the Sarawak Stadium, this year’s festival is set to unite 36,000 music enthusiasts from around the globe with a dynamic lineup featuring both regional and international artists, according to a press release.

“Sarawak is pioneering the path in Malaysia and in Borneo, as the perfect destination for lifestyle events and music festivals such as this.

“In the future, we might even get A-list artists to do their concerts here as we know the economic impact of such events go well beyond tourism dollars,” Sarawak Minister for Tourism, Creative Industry, and Performing Arts (MTCP) Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah was quoted as saying during the BSMF 2024 briefing by the organisers today at his office.

“Featuring genres like K-Pop, RnB, Hip Hop, and EDM, BSMF 2024 aims to be a hub for music lovers of all tastes, ensuring an inclusive and exciting experience,” the release stated.

Meanwhile, BME International managing director Steven Au said, “We are happy to thank the Sarawak Sports Corporation (SSC) for trusting us to use Sarawak Stadium once again as the venue for the BSMF festival in 2024.

“This trust ensures that the field, turf and the new track will be well taken care of during the music festival.”
