For those of you who were at the Good Vibes Festival 2019 recently, you would know how epic it was this year with amazing performance, interactive booths and just a chill fun weekend. Not to mention an incredible 20,000 festival-goers surged to The Ranch @ Gohtong Jaya, Genting Highlands for two days. Music-lovers from across the world far and wide converged for the fifth edition of #GVF2019, to witness the stellar lineup of international and homegrown brilliant Malaysian acts, spread out to over three stages. The Electric Field Stage, Blue Stage and The Red Stage.
For the first time ever, festival-goers got to experience the new and improved ElectricFields, the festival’s fully-fledged third stage that featured a stunning mix of international and local DJs, electronic and hip-hop acts. The new Electric Fields stage also saw the debut collaboration of Good Vibes Festival and London’s own independent music platform and cultural curator, Boiler Room who presented a number of performances that were recorded and will be broadcasted on boilerroom.tv under boiler Room x Good Vibes Festival.

Throughout #GVF2019, festival-goers had so much to see and do with the myriad of interactive activations scattered around the grounds. At the UMobile zone, festival-goers snapped playful pictures at the booth’s Unlimited Grooves area and shot hoops at the extension in the Electric Fields for a chance to win some fun items. Over at Netflix’s tent, is the “Stranger Things” booth where they can win merchandises and people try Nestle’s La Cremeria with a bright vision in pink and also visitors get to up their booth game at the Rimmel booth and many more.
That’s all for GVF 2019! See you all next year 🙂
