that is expected to raise the roof in 2025.
“In fact, all of the international acts that will be featured in UNSTOP have never performed in Malaysia before. It will be their debut and it should be an incredible treat for dance fans nationwide and also regionally,” expressed stage manager Georgia proudly.
“We wanted to do something out of the ordinary with UNSTOP. We always aim to be different as it is very important to us as festival organisers. We always want to curate the best line-up and offer our dance music fans the best with as many genres as we can,” he added.
“We are proud to be able to present so many different international electronic dance artistes in a single day as no other organisers are doing it, We have so many surprises to show during the festival, and the only way for you to know what it will be is to come to the show,” Georgia further emphasized.
