Today, Urbanscapes has announced that four-piece English drum and bass band Rudimental will also be performing at the festival’s 14th anniversary on 1 May, joining previously announced Tame Impala and M83 shows at KL Live, who will be performing separate shows on 23 April and 7 May, respectively.

Not only that, Malaysian indie alternative rock band Hujan will be sharing a stage with Ipoh’s own indie rockers Bittersweet, also at KL Live on 24 April.


Tickets for Rudimental’s show will go on sale this 17 March on ticketpro.com.my while Hujan and Bittersweet’s ticket details will be announced very soon.



Taking place for three weekends, Urbanscapes will host a variety of creative thematic markets that explore the themes of urban culture, arts & crafts, and fashion retail.

“The entire city is now our festival site. After 14 years, Urbanscapes is returning to its roots and rediscovering the urban environment it started from. No longer a weekend wonder, Urbanscapes is now a festival spanning over three weekends featuring an exhaustive creative arts programme to excite festival-goers of all ages,” said Adrian Yap, founder of Urbanscapes in a statement.

Some of the other activities that are slated for the festival include The Night Before Tomorrow (NB4T) presented by homegrown rapper Jin Hackman in collaboration with JUICE Malaysia, experimental music documentary “The Obs: A Singapore Story” by Singaporean experimental art rock band The Observatory who will also present a live music showcase of their latest album “August Is The Cruellest”, skate and visual culture art exhibition Cannot Be Bo(a)rdered featuring the works of 26 artists from Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, and plenty more!
