Asia KolektifA marks the rise of collective-based festivals in Jakarta

Asia KolektifA is the brainchild of Tripo 3000 (the events division of the Jakarta-based 3000 Group) — a Q4 festival they teased us back in July and successfully managed to keep tight-lipped about until a month before the event.

The two-day festival was held at 3000 Group’s very own A3000 Creative Compound, making use of its sectioned-off spaces for three separate stages where a total of 1,500 people partied across two days, from 3 pm to 3 am. Performing at those stages were none other than a specially curated line-up of 31 eclectic talents which included Saigon’s Taku Hirayama, Singapore’s Muto and Bangkok’s Sunju Hargun along with local producers and collectives from Bali, Yogyakarta, Bandung and Aceh.
