What started as a small gig back in 2017, SoundCircus has grown into one of the main highlights during the Art Of Speed Malaysia large-scale indoor events at MAEPS.
It was established to provide a special platform for musicians to showcase their body of work and talents, specifically for underground musicians and bands who do not have the opportunity to perform on the same stage as most mainstream artistes in Malaysia.
To celebrate its 12-year establishment, Art Of Speed Malaysia (AOSM) and legendary motorcycle brand, Harley-Davidson, will co-host one of the country’s biggest music festivals - 'SoundCircus Festival 2023' to be held on Saturday, 29 July 2023 at MAEPS, Serdang.
"Due to the overwhelming response during the 2-day SoundCircus Weekender music event that garnered over 2,000 music-enthusiasts, AOSM believes that the event should be held again this July at a larger venue, and also in-conjunction with the 12th anniversary of AOSM,” explained Mr. Asep Ahmad Iskandar, CEO & Founder, AOSM & SoundCircus.
SoundCircus Festival 2023 is a music festival that was created specifically to highlight the punk-rock and ska music genres, the first of its kind in Malaysia with high-quality production on par with international music festivals ensuring fans to be entertained in a safe and conducive environment.
In addition, through the direct sponsorships from international-based companies, ticket prices can be reduced without affecting the quality of the festival whilst opening up opportunities for local musicians to perform abroad.
And for the first time, renowned legendary motorcycle brand, Harley-Davidson will be part of the SoundCircus Festival 2023, where they are organizing music-related events such as Asia Harley Days in Thailand and Harley-Davidson 'Homecoming' in the United States with headliners such as Foo Fighters and Green Day which will take place soon.
Mr. Sajeev Rajasekharan, Managing Director - Asia Emerging Markets & India, Harley-Davidson Motor Company commented, “We are pleased to join this year’s SoundCircus Festival 2023 as a key sponsor and further strengthen our presence at Art Of Speed Malaysia.
“This festival has a strategic importance to us and acts as a key platform for our Harley-Davidson community and enthusiasts to come together, so we look forward to another successful outing this year with AOSM."
As a reward to all Harley-Davidson enthusiasts nationwide, complimentary passes and tickets are available at Harley-Davidson dealerships in Malaysia, so pay them a visit today!
The line-up of artistes and bands that will be performing at the music festival are as follows: Superman Is Dead (Bali), No Good, Plague Of Happiness, MC16, Skudap Skudip, Dum Dum Tak, Krusty, Restraint, Naratu and Armpunk Syndicate.
Mr. Asep added, "One of the highlights during SoundCircus Festival 2023 this time, 5 local bands will be competing in a special segment for Harley-Davidson 'Battle Of The Bands' to win the prize to perform outside Malaysia for a festival organised by Harley-Davidson that will take place at the end of this year.
"Some of the major features of SoundCircus Festival 2023 this year are our new and improved audio-visual system that is way better than before, a special appearance from the band Superman Is Dead from Bali, Indonesia who will perform a total of 16 songs, as well as other performances by local bands to ensure the satisfaction of visitors at its max.
"I hope that the visitors will be entertained by the performances and the atmosphere that we provide, and keep supporting our music scene!"
