The latest announcement brings together a diverse and eclectic mix of acclaimed, established, and emerging acts from Asia and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Staying true to the festival\u2019s vision of showcasing the breadth and depth of today\u2019s global music landscape, the latest batch of artists represents an expansive spectrum of genres: from indie rock to alternative pop, electronic jazz to soul, hip-hop to progressive rock, experimental to modern MOR, dream pop to contemporary Asian sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wave two lineup<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joining the roster are <strong>Aelea<\/strong> (Indonesia), <strong>Arivu<\/strong> (India\/TuneCore India Showcase), <strong>Basboi<\/strong> (Indonesia), <strong>Bishnu Paneru<\/strong> (Philippines), <strong>brkfstblend<\/strong> (Japan), <strong>Cactus Cactus<\/strong> (Singapore), <strong>can&#8217;t be Blue<\/strong> (South Korea), <strong>Ciggarats<\/strong> (Vietnam), <strong>Clever Moose<\/strong> (Indonesia), <strong>Crystal Murray<\/strong> (France\/United States), <strong>D\u2019MASIV<\/strong> (Indonesia), <strong>Drizzly<\/strong> (Indonesia), <strong>El Karmoya<\/strong> (Indonesia), <strong>Emptyyy<\/strong> (Indonesia), <strong>Feral Stripes<\/strong> (Indonesia), <strong>GEE EXCLSV<\/strong> (Philippines), <strong>Gavendri<\/strong> (Indonesia), <strong>GENIUS Flow<\/strong> (Laos), <strong>Given<\/strong> (Indonesia), <strong>hailinhtasm<\/strong> (Vietnam), <strong>Laze and Mardial<\/strong> (Indonesia), <strong>Littlefingers<\/strong> (Indonesia), <strong>Litty<\/strong> (Japan), <strong>Mayu<\/strong> (Japan), <strong>MRCH<\/strong> (South Korea), <strong>Nerd Connection<\/strong> (South Korea), <strong>Olsam<\/strong> (Indonesia), <strong>Silly Silky<\/strong> (South Korea), and <strong>YuuHai<\/strong> (Cambodia).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Collectively, this year\u2019s roster reinforces AXEAN Festival\u2019s longstanding commitment to championing musical discovery while creating valuable opportunities for cultural exchange, regional connectivity, and international collaboration. Beyond its showcase performances, AXEAN Festival continues to develop programs, conversations, and initiatives that address the most pressing issues that affect or shape the region\u2019s music ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AXEAN Festival co-founder David Siow adds, \u201cEvery year there are new developments in each Southeast Asian music scene\u2014be it new artists, new movements, new companies, or even new geopolitics. We strive to address and serve as a bridge, connecting the relevant artists and delegates to each other and allowing for them to meet each other and form organic relationships, all in the hopes that we can build a better future together. If you come to AXEAN Festival, you are tapping into a community that grows and builds with you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Live on KEXP makes its Asian debut at AXEAN Festival<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among this year\u2019s key milestones is the landmark partnership with <strong>KEXP<\/strong>, the internationally renowned Seattle-based public radio station and music platform celebrated for championing independent artists worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the first time ever, <strong>Live on KEXP<\/strong> will record in Asia, with select artists performing exclusive live sessions during the AXEAN Festival. The collaboration represents an important step forward in increasing the global visibility of Southeast Asian independent music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKEXP exists to help artists reach a global audience,\u201d shares <strong>Chris Sanley<\/strong>, Executive Producer of <strong>Live on KEXP<\/strong>. \u201cWhile we live in a world that makes it easy for us to connect online, we know there are significant barriers keeping artists from coming to our studio in Seattle to record a Live on KEXP session. For nearly two decades we\u2019ve been sending our team to international music-centered events to record live performances with artists from outside the US, anchored by the idea of going to the music rather than waiting for it to come to us. Diana\u2019s work on our radio show, Eastern Echoes, and her commitment to showcasing and highlighting independent artists from Asia, inspired us to bring Live on KEXP to the Asian continent for the first time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Diana Ratsamee, host of KEXP\u2019s <strong>Eastern Echoes<\/strong>, the partnership offers an opportunity to reshape how the world experiences Asian music. \u201cIn American and international media, our stories have long been underrepresented and our music boxed into narrow definitions and expectations. KEXP\u2019s show, <em>Eastern Echoes<\/em> exists to reflect the incredible breadth of sounds that make up our Asian communities, and this partnership with AXEAN Festival will expand on that work in amazing ways.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-12.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"975\" height=\"650\" data-attachment-id=\"73481\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/entertainment\/music-entertainment\/axean-festival-2026-drops-second-batch-of-artists-from-asia-and-beyond\/attachment\/image-569\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-12.png\" data-orig-size=\"975,650\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-12-300x200.png\" data-large-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-12.png\" src=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-12.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-73481\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-12.png 975w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-12-300x200.png 300w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-12-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 975px) 100vw, 975px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>KOREA SPOTLIGHT partnership<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AXEAN Festival also welcomes <strong>KOREA SPOTLIGHT<\/strong>, the flagship K-Music showcase presented by South Korea\u2019s <strong>Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism<\/strong> (MCST), and the <strong>Korea Creative Content Agency <\/strong>(KOCCA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since its launch in 2017, KOREA SPOTLIGHT has introduced outstanding Korean artists to audiences around the world. This year\u2019s delegation is particularly significant, as it features four artists who all emerged from <strong>MUSE ON<\/strong>, KOCCA\u2019s artist discovery and development program for promising new musicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Making their Indonesian debut, <strong>can\u2019t be blue<\/strong>, <strong>MRCH<\/strong>. <strong>Nerd Connection<\/strong>, and <strong>Silly Silky<\/strong> will perform not only as part of AXEAN Festival\u2019s showcase program but also at a dedicated KOREA SPOTLIGHT showcase in Jakarta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEA URBAN: Putting a spotlight on Southeast Asia\u2019s thriving hip-hop\/R&amp;B movement<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further expanding its programming, AXEAN Festival 2026 introduces <strong>SEA URBAN<\/strong>\u2014a new platform dedicated to Southeast Asian hip-hop, rap, R&amp;B, and contemporary urban music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The initiative combines a curated showcase featuring some of the region\u2019s most exciting urban artists with an accompanying industry panel examining the genre\u2019s rapid growth, evolving identity, and increasing global impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHip-hop sits in an interesting place: it&#8217;s mainstream, trendy, and fashionable, but it also carries real weight because it resonates with the struggles of urban youth,\u201d AXEAN Festival co-founder Piyapong Muenprasertdee reveals. \u201cWhat sets Southeast Asian hip-hop apart is that each scene is shaped by where it came from, with artists weaving traditional sounds into their beats\u2014which makes every country&#8217;s scene distinct and worth the world discovering. That&#8217;s why the showcase and panel matter: these scenes have mostly grown on their own, and putting them on a shared regional stage is how we help these voices travel further and collaborate across borders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tickets to AXEAN Festival 2026 are now available via<a href=\"http:\/\/www.loket.com\/o\/axeanfestival\">
