Rock The World 8

Rock The World is back. This probably is the last big music festival featuring top local acts for this year, 2008. Mark your calender, December 20th, at the Secret Garden, Stadium Merdeka.

Although it doesn’t look as it is going to be big as the last event, Rock The World 7, there are however, some awesome acts in the lineup. Those who will be performing are, Estranged, One Buck Short, The Times, Pure Vibracions, Bunkface, Republic of Brickfields, Butterfingers, Koffin Kanser, Zip Zieller, The Other Side Orchestra, Laila’s Lounge, Revenge, They Will Kill Us All, Komplot, OAG and Upon Arrival. A good mix of the old and new.

This time they will be doing a Rock The World College Campus Tour. A total of six Colleges / University have been selected for ‘Collage Band Search Tour’. You and your college bands might be able to perform with your favorite bands.

This is the 8th edition to the Rock The World series. Started out back in 2000, as just an idea of having a rock show on a open car park, it has now become an annual music festival. To some, they consider this to be ‘our own Woodstock’, well maybe in a much miniature scale.

Rock The World have prove again and again that we don’t need international acts to have a great show. With the recent explosion of the so called local indie scene, and 8 years of Rock The World experience from its organizer, this look like its going to be a great show.

Tickets are available at Maju Junction Mall, Rock Conner, Music Valley or Extreme Outlets for RM 25. Check out website, rocktheworld.com.my for more information. See you there.

Update: To all the Komplotans out there, Komplot will be selling it’s EP at Rock The World. One more reason not to miss this event.

Update: Bad news is that Laila’s Lounge can’t make it to Rock The World 8. Good news is that two new band added to the line up, Estrella and Bittersweet. See you guys there!
