Resorts World Genting (RWG) is heralding the return of Starlight Festival 2022, a beloved open-air carnival that combines dazzling lights, live music, street food and festive entertainment!
Say “cheers” to a festival under the stars
Beginning 6pm, every Thursday to Saturday, from 29 September to 15 October, 2022, the festival will take place at Central Park and Madison Square, promising non-stop excitement and entertainment until the wee hours, with a plethora of fun activities.
Walk through Asteroid Arcade under a blanket of stars to view various street performances; and stop by the pop-up stalls for merchandise, face-painting, skill games and photo booths. Once you’ve worked up an appetite from all the walking, fuel up at the pop-up food stalls. You’ll be spoilt for choice from the various offerings from Harry Ramsden World Famous Fish and Chips, Jetpack – Coffee and Fast Fuels, to Trattoria IL Lago – Simply Italian.
With your appetite satiated, stroll to the Lake of Dreams for a mesmerizing fountain show. Enjoy the music of buskers, The Pockets Mimers, and be awed by the head-turning LED-dance moves of the iridescent-costumed “nouveau cirque” troupe, PsycuSix, as they take centre-stage at the Central Loop!
To give your legs a rest, head on over to Madison Square, where our emcees will be hyping up the atmosphere and Starlight Dancers dressed in blinged-up dirndls (Bavarian traditional folk costumes) await. As multi-coloured strobe lights and laser beams dart about the spacious transparent tent under the starry night sky, sip on a sundowner or two, and nibble on cheese nachos as you chill with friends and family to some great music performances on the grand stage.
To kick off the first week of live entertainment, Malaysian band 9 Lives and Coen & Danz will be rocking the stage, alongside the sick beats of DJ Hazel and DJ Crossfinger. In week two, international tribute act Killer Queen from Italy and local bands, Chek Dou and Jukebox, will raise the bar – accompanied by the sick beats of DJ Vgene and DJ Keith Mint. Wrapping up Starlight Festival 2022 in week three, the Australian Bee Gees will rock the stage, along with Chek Dou, with supporting music from Jukebox.
