MTV World Stage, Live In Malaysia.
Rainforest World Music Festival
Twelve international and six Malaysian acts get together for three days and nights of world music and jungle shenanigans. Considered one of the best outdoor world music festivals in the world, it is well worth the price of admission. There are also ethnic music workshops, jamming sessions with the artistes and musicians, and spin-off mini concerts (if you know who to ask and where to look).

Future Sound Asia Presents Fatboy Slim
Fatboy Slim, otherwise known as Norman Cook, returns for another big-room electro-house session. Our money is on the opening session by DJ Blink and XU from LapSap, who'll be dropping their "LitterAll Show" set, an audio-visual project that fuses motion graphics, film footage and custom animation, all projected onto LED screens. Blink says this new screening took three months to prepare and looks more intense than their first attempt two years ago. "Our music's evolved, with more techno sounds being incorporated now, so the visuals are more in black and white. It'll be a different sort of movie than before."
