The Rainforest World Music Festival (RWMF) is returning to the Sarawak Cultural Village in Kuching, Sarawak, Borneo, scheduled for June 20-22nd. The festival, now in its 28th edition, continues to bring together music lovers, performers, and travellers to celebrate global music and culture.
Under the theme Connections: One Earth, One Love, the festival promotes unity through music, featuring over 180 performers from 20 countries. Acts include Earth, Wind & Fire Experience by Al McKay, Otyken from Siberia, At Adau (Malaysia), Kuntaw Mindanao (the Philippines), La Chiva Gantiva (Colombia), Seppuku Pistols (Japan), Sinaran Collective (Malaysia), and Buddha Beat (Malaysia), among others. Alongside evening concerts, the festival offers daytime workshops and cultural displays.
Sustainability remains at the heart of RWMF 2025. The Green Ruai is a dedicated space for hands-on workshops and exhibits on sustainability, where visitors can also calculate their carbon footprints.
With a record 26,000 attendees in 2024, RWMF 2025 aims to exceed that number, solidifying its status as a key cultural event in South-east Asia.

Sarawak offers diverse accommodation options, from eco-lodges and boutique hotels to luxury resorts. Community-run home stays in indigenous villages provide an immersive experience while supporting sustainable tourism.
