Over the years, DWP has been committed to bringing the most prominent artists to Asia, offering music lovers a top-tier festival experience like no other. If you’re seeking unparalleled festival vibes in Asia, DWP is the place to be.
2. A celebration of musical diversity
While many music festivals stick to mainstream artists or single-genre lineups for budget or market reasons, DWP breaks the mold by embracing diversity. This festival is a true electronic music feast, blending Mainstage headliners with a variety of genres, including trance, techno, indie, and bass, and offering attendees a taste of multiple sounds in one epic weekend.
The 2024 lineup, featuring talents like Gryffin, Porter Robinson, Alison Wonderland, K?D, MaRLo, and Mau P, showcases the festival’s commitment to depth and variety. The festival’s ability to blend mainstream superstars with underground talent ensures a diverse and unforgettable experience for attendees. Whether you’re into big room anthems, hard-hitting techno, or groovy house vibes, DWP curates a perfect mix for every taste.
3. Spectacular stage design and production
DWP’s stage designs are a sight to behold. The iconic Garuda Land stage, inspired by Indonesia’s mythical Garuda bird, is a masterpiece of creativity and engineering. Complemented by cutting-edge visuals, pyrotechnics, and a top-notch sound system, each stage creates an immersive atmosphere.
For 2024, fans can look forward to a variety of themed stages, including ALTITUDE by MaRLo, an epic Trance experience; STMPD RCRDS, curated by none other than Martin Garrix; and The Darker Side, a haven for Techno lovers craving darker, rawer beats. Each stage offers a distinct vibe, making it feel like multiple festivals within one.
4. A unique blend of culture and music
DWP isn’t just about the music—it’s a gateway to Indonesian culture. While the festival is traditionally held in Jakarta, it relocates to Bali’s stunning Garuda Wisnu Kencana (GWK) Cultural Park every five years, blending Balinese traditions with modern festival energy. Where else can you dance to world-class music surrounded by majestic statues and lush tropical landscapes?
Beyond the music, DWP incorporates local food markets, art installations, and cultural performances, giving international attendees a deeper connection to Indonesia. For many, DWP is more than a music festival—it’s an immersive cultural journey.
5. A legacy of growth and innovation
From its humble beginnings as a nightclub event in 2008, DWP has grown into one of the largest music festivals in Asia, with over 90,000 attendees annually. Even during the global pandemic, DWP adapted, with virtual festivals showcasing its ability to innovate and connect with fans worldwide.
With each passing year, the festival scales new heights, adding more stages, bigger lineups, and unique experiences. The 2024 edition promises to be its most ambitious yet, proving that DWP isn’t just keeping up—it’s setting the pace.
