/Bintan, October 2025: Sixty minutes by ferry from Singapore, the serene island of Bintan roared to life last weekend as BRAVE 2025 transformed its coastline into a glowing playground of music, light and movement.
Held at Lagoi Beach, the BRAVE short for Bintan Rhythmic Adventure festival drew over three thousand plus music lovers across Asia for an unforgettable bioluminescent beach rave, blending tropical energy with world-class soundscapes against Bintan’s stunning natural backdrop. The event featured appearances of international DJs such as Wukong, Faustix & Jade Rasif.
