#MusicPH - AXEAN Festival 2025 Returns to Bali with Bigger Beats, Deeper Connections, and a Whole Lot of Soul
This September, Bali isn’t just a tropical escape—it’s the beating heart of Southeast Asia’s music scene. From September 13 to 14, the island will host the return of AXEAN Festival, a two-day celebration of sound, creativity, and cross-cultural connection at the vibrant Jimbaran Hub.
More than just a music festival, AXEAN is a movement. It’s where emerging and established artists from across Southeast Asia come together to share their stories, sounds, and visions. With over 40 acts set to perform, this year’s edition promises to be the most dynamic yet—blending live showcases, a music conference, and a collaborative songwriting camp into one unforgettable experience.
A Festival with Heart and Purpose
What sets AXEAN apart isn’t just the music—it’s the mission. Co-founded by passionate creatives like Piyapong Muenprasertdee and David Siow, the festival is built on authenticity, community, and a deep love for Southeast Asian talent. It’s run pro bono, fueled by passion, and designed to create real opportunities for artists and industry professionals alike.
From structured networking sessions and business pitch meetings to casual conversations that spark lifelong collaborations, AXEAN is where the region’s music ecosystem comes alive.
New This Year: SEA Club Showcase
For the first time, AXEAN is turning up the volume on Southeast Asia’s underground club culture with the launch of the SEA Club Showcase. Expect a high-energy celebration of regional electronic subgenres like Indonesian funkot, Vietnamese vinahouse, Singaporean/Malaysian manyao, and Filipino budots. It’s a bold nod to the grassroots sounds that are shaking up dance floors around the world.
Creativity in Collaboration
The festival’s beloved songwriting camp is also making a comeback. This four-day creative retreat invites artists, producers, and songwriters to co-create in an intimate, cross-cultural setting. Last year’s camp produced 20 original tracks—proof that when you bring the right people together, magic happens.
A Space That Reflects the Spirit
This year’s festival is co-presented by Jimbaran Hub, a cultural and lifestyle center that’s all about community, creativity, and connection. It’s the perfect backdrop for a festival that’s as much about people as it is about performance.
As Piyapong puts it, “Whether you’re a delegate, an artist, or a music lover attending for the first time, we invite you to discover the joy of connection, creativity, and cultural celebration at AXEAN Festival 2025.”

With discounted pre-sale tickets already available and the full lineup dropping soon, now’s the time to mark your calendar. Whether you’re coming for the music, the networking, or the vibes, AXEAN Festival 2025 is where Southeast Asia’s creative pulse will be strongest this September.
