Are you going for Sunburst?

Venue: Bukit Equestrian Club
Date: 21st March 2009
Time: 2pm – 2am

If you have no idea what i’m talking about,
Then, dude. You are so. Missing. Out.

Sunburst is an annual music festival featuring international and local acts that took off last year.
Bringing in acts like Incubus, George Clinton & The Parliament / Funkadelic, The Roots and John Legend in 2008; this music festival exceeded people’s expectations with how organised and enjoyable the entire day turned out to be. In fact, read what SarChan wrote about it here.

This year, a lot of speculation and gossip was going around on who is coming to perform.
Acts for Sunburst 2009:

When the confirmed list of artistes were announced, the first person i got terribly excited about seeing is Skye of Morcheeba.

This is all personal preference btw, so stop emoing if you think i should be excited about seeing someone foremost. I’m not. I’m excited about Skye okay.

I listen to Morcheeba intensively every time i’m chilling out in my bedroom, or on the beach.
So to listen to someone whose voice has carried me along so many trips… is something i’m trying NOT to get my expectations up about lest i get disappointed but can’t help cos COME ON SHE CANNOT DISAPPOINT ME. Also *talking to myself* i have to remind myself that she’s not with Morcheeba now, but solo, so not to expect Morcheeba. :p Okay have to stop, talking crazy here.

Second act who’s drawing me to go is Erykah Badu.
Another person i know who is sure to fawn over the fact she’s coming is Kevin Yeoh.

I realise the music i’m pawing after this Sunburst are the more chill out artistes
But then again, everyone has different tastes.

I know AshleyTheMonkey is looking foward most to N.E.R.D.

She used to say things like, “If only NERD would come perform here.”
And now that they are, i think no storm, or number of lizards will keep her away.
Hmm a storm OF lizards i’m not too sure. But i digress.

TigerJoe can’t believe Korn is coming down and asked so many times whether it’s a hoax

Other acts include Naturally 7 (whom i’m curious about hearing), Butterfingers, Nidji from Indonesia, Estranged, Meet Uncle Hussain, Hujan, Agrikulture, and Bunkface.

So think about it – artistes catering to Hip-Hop, Rock, Pop, Soul, Dance and Jazz
Spread across 6 stages
12 hours of non-stop music
A Speedzone Interactive Tour ft. Formula 1 and Moto GP
Silent Disco with over 300 headphones
