Martell Noblige Swift Festival is back, levelling up Kuala Lumpur’s nightlife like never before. On Saturday, 23 Nov 2024, Sentul Depot will transform into the ultimate stage for headliners like South Korea’s electrifying DJ Soda, China’s powerhouse Lizzy Wang, and Malaysia’s very own rising stars. Central to this year’s festival is the grand finale of the Swift Talent Quest, a platform dedicated to showcasing the country’s top emerging DJs, where they will demonstrate their skills on a major stage; embodying Martell’s ethos of ‘Soar Beyond the Expected’.
The festival’s ‘Gen-Z Asian Pop’ theme promises genre-bending collaborations that push musical boundaries. Together with Asia’s entertainment superstars, the Swift Talent Quest finalists will share the stage with Malaysia’s own Priscilla Abby, whose dynamic vocals will add a pop flair to the night. Local legends DJ Reeve, DJ Julian, and DJ Nexto, co-founders of DJs Playground, will bring their mastery to the stage, while the Kuan Sisters join DJ Perry K for a much-anticipated set. The Swift All Stars—DJ Sandra, DJ Suki, Noize Faktor, and Swift Duo—are all set to turn up the heat with electrifying performances and curated shows, making this an unforgettable night of exquisite sound and unmatched energy.
The festival serves as the culmination of the Martell Noblige Swift Talent Quest, a competition designed to showcase Malaysia’s rising DJ talents. In the lead-up to the festival, finalists DJ 2 Aces, DJ Ric, Silent and Svggy are paired with industry mentors, who offer expert guidance and tips, helping them refine their skills before they take the stage. This initiative underscores Martell Noblige’s commitment to nurturing and empowering local talent, offering them an unparalleled opportunity to ‘Soar Beyond the Expected’ and share the stage with international headliners.
