KUCHING, Dec 18: The highly anticipated two-day Rock in The Jungle Festival (RITJ) set to take place at the Sarawak Cultural Village (SCV) on Dec 28 and 29, is expecting turnout of 8,000 rock enthusiasts.
According to the event’s spokesperson, Zaini Zainuddin, they anticipate around 3,000 attendees on the first night and 5,000 on the second.
“Insya-Allah, if RITJ receives a positive response, we aim to organise it again, with aspirations of reaching [international recognition] and being on par with the Rainforest World Music Festival (RWMF),” Zaini shared during the RITJ Media Day at Damai Escape Park in Santubong today.
The first night of the festival will feature performances by JS Boys, Criss X, Jemson, XPDC, and the legendary Sweet Charity, while the second night will showcase BNB Band, Senseless, Candy, Indonesian rockers Edane, and Malaysia’s iconic Wings.
