Burning Beach Bali
Nusa Dua, Bali
December 22-23rd, 2023
Bali’s Burning Beach is the most essential underground music festival in the region, and this year’s line-up is the best yet with a mix of legends, live shows and rising stars. It emerged from humble origins, born out of intimate rave parties held on the secluded shores of Lombok, Bali’s sister island, in 2018. The infectious vibes and a clear vision for the music concept ignited a desire for something grander, something that transcended those smaller gatherings – the vision for a festival was born. The extended period of isolation that Indonesia endured during the pandemic only added allure to this concept. Finally, in December 2022, the inaugural edition of the Burning Beach Festival became a reality in Nusa Dua, Bali.
