From 17 to 19 April, it kicks off with a Thursday night warm-up at MDLR before unrolling its weekend magic at Sarimbun Scout Camp. A slice of nature turned playground for sound, community, and communion.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Before the Festival<\/b><\/h3>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">This year, Sunda Festival 2025 sets the tone with Antal from Rush Hour Records commandeering the decks at MDLR on Thursday, 17 April. What follows is a multi-sensory adventure, regional selectors and international tastemakers like Danilo Plessow and La Mamie\u2019s will soundtrack two days of exploration across two thoughtfully curated stages. Jurong Stage will shimmer under the visual mastery of artists like Jaymi McManus, @worm.grrl, and Jen O\u2019Connor, while the Fred Perry-backed Nomad Stage plays host to underground legends and rising stars.<\/p>\n<p>Curious how it all came together?

Think breathable linen, flowy fits, and gear that moves as much as you do. Moisture-wicking basics work just as well as ethereal kaftans. And whether you\u2019re in sneakers or barefoot, bring something you can dance in &#8217;til the AM.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Getting There and Back<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>The journey to Sunda Festival 2025 should be part of the story. Board the MRT to Newton, then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sundafestival.com\/tickets\">hop on an S$8 shuttle<\/a> straight into the jungle groove. Skip the public buses unless you fancy a sidewalk-less 15-minute walk. No on-site parking means leaving the car behind.<\/p>\n<p>A return shuttle from Sunda back to Newton MRT is also available for S$8. Be sure to reserve both your arrival and departure slots in advance. Grab and Gojek drivers won\u2019t be queuing up in the jungle.<\/p>\n<h3><b>What&#8217;s New for 2025<\/b><\/h3>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">If Sunda Festival 2025 has a mantra, it\u2019s evolution with soul.
