So, the dazzling success of the Joyland Festival Jakarta 2023 at the GBK Baseball Stadium apparently left everyone so inspired that they decided, "Why not grace the serene shores of Bali next year?" Cue the drumroll for Joyland Festival Bali 2024, set to enchant the unsuspecting Nusa Dua in Badung from March 1-3, 2024. It's the third round of this extravaganza on the Island of the Gods, because, you know, three times a charm, right?

"Thank you, artists, for sweating it out on stage. Kudos to the crew, staff, traders, and partners – you're the real MVPs. But most importantly, thank you, dear audience.
