Soundtuari 2025: The First Production in Indonesia to Activate an Entire Island with World-Class Performing Stages and Unprecedented Visual Installation
Mark your calendars and pack your sunblock—Soundtuari International Music Festival 2025 is about to light up Gili Air like never before. Happening on 5 to 7 September 2025, this isn't just another festival, it's Indonesia’s first full-island music + visual art experience that fuses cultural heritage, international talent, and coastal magic. Brought to life by PT. Garda Utama Edukasi in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, Wonderful Indonesia, and the West Nusa Tenggara provincial government, Soundtuari is turning up the volume on Indonesia’s creative economy and NTB’s super-priority destination status. The festival will spotlight mind-bending visual installations by the legendary Sembilan Matahari, igniting Gili Air’s shoreline every night after sunset. Think: starlit beach, immersive visuals, and music stages dropping everything from live traditional sets to international headliners. The lineup ranges from Jazz Stage and Reggae Stage to World Music and Top 100 world-class DJ still under wraps and about to be announce very soon. Full lineup drops soon via the Soundtuari Festival online platform, so don’t sleep on it. With a limited crowd of 5,000 per day, this fest is keeping it intimate, immersive, and straight-up unforgettable. From local bangers to viral national acts and global heavyweights, it is just like a live Spotify on an island. The opening ceremony will be one for the books, officiated by reps from the Ministry of Tourism, Ministry of Creative Economy, and Ministry of Foreign Affairs, along with regional government dignitaries. And it’s not just about the music. Soundtuari is turning the spotlight on West Nusa Tenggara Finest SMEs (Small Medium Enterprises) with a curated marketplace to showcase handmade crafts, traditional goods, and island-grown flavors to global eyes and ears. The heartbeat of the festival? The involvement of Bayan indigenous communities and traditional music collectives, woven into the programming to keep culture not just alive—but thriving. Three days. One island. All senses activated. Soundtuari 2025 is not just a party—it’s a movement. Soundtuari International Music Festival @soundtuarifestival
