Ben Nicky Brings the Misfits Festival to Malaysia in 2025

The globally renowned Misfits Festival is bringing its electrifying energy to Malaysia for the first time on Saturday, April 26, 2025. Taking place at Surf Beach, Sunway Lagoon, this highly anticipated event, conceptualized by international DJ Ben Nicky, promises a night of immersive visuals, and transformative music experiences.

Since its launch in 2020, Misfits Festival has grown into a global movement, selling out events across cities like Bristol, Glasgow, and Edinburgh, and drawing a record-breaking crowd of 22,000 at Belsonic in Belfast. Headliner Ben Nicky, praised as the “leader of a new movement” by Diplo and hailed by Armin van Buuren as “one of the hardest-working DJs in the industry,” will bring his genre-blurring sounds to the Malaysian stage. Known for his high-octane performances and collaborations with artists like Calvin Harris, Ellie Goulding, and David Guetta, Nicky’s sets span a wide range of tempos and styles, keeping audiences hooked from start to finish.
