COMING SOON! JABAT ERAT Fringe Arts Festival will take place in Kuala Lumpur. The epicenter of the festival will be the ODEON Kuala Lumpur, an iconic heritage cinema built in 1936 now transformed into a contemporary arts destination. JABAT ERAT Fringe Arts Festival embraces bands from across the full spectrum of immersive, multi-genre “rock and roll” fringe music from the local, regional and international scene. This will be the first edition of JABAT ERAT Fringe Arts Festival.

ODEON KL, an ALL-AGES venue, will host JABAT ERAT Fringe Arts Festival (Festival Kesenian Frinjan) for 2026. This annual fringe arts festival will feature year-round programmed activities that embrace the spirit of D.I.Y / Independent “art” – record releases (Vinyl, cassette, cd), merchandising, band touring circuits, processing, executing activities (purchasing, making, distributing, and selling). The festival will also serve as a platform for networking between MALAYSIA, South East Asia, The Far East and The Rest Of the World among small or mid-tier independent bands, promoters, venues, fans, labels, pioneers, veterans, young and emerging bands in the multi-genre “rock and roll” fringe music scene.

JABAT ERAT Fringe Arts Festival will run for three (3) days at the ODEON KL within the heartbeat of Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
