Sunset Music Fest returns June 4

KOTA KINABALU: The Sunset Music Fest at the Tip of Borneo is all set to take centre stage once again on June 4 at Tanjung Simpang Mengayau in Kudat, the northern-most tip of Borneo.

The open air music concert, which features a line-up of performers presenting a broad repertoire of music and songs, will take place from 5pm to 9pm.

Held for the tenth year, the music festival is considered one of Sabah’s most unique events given its unconventional venue, offering the audience a spectacular natural backdrop of the sun setting over the Sulu and South China seas. Concert-goers are encouraged to visit other places of interest in Kudat such as the Rungus longhouse, honey bee farm and gong making village before heading to the festival.

During the event, access to the venue and its surroundings, which include the pathway from the parking lot to the Globe, will be open to concert ticket holders only from 3pm to 10pm.

This litter-free event is brought to the public by Sabah Tourism Board and is organised by its wholly-owned subsidiary Sri Pelancongan Sabah Sdn Bhd.

Tickets for the music festival are sold at RM50 per person. Return transportation is available for ticket holders at only RM20 per person.

Transportation departs from the Sabah Tourism Board office along Gaya Street at 2pm sharp. Closing date for transport reservations is June 1 (Wednesday).

To purchase tickets and make reservations for shuttle bus services, contact Sabah Tourism Board and Sri Pelancongan Sabah (+6088) 212 121 or (+6088) 232 121, or visit the website www.sunsetmusicfest.my.

Tanjung Simpang Mengayau is one of the most picturesque sections of Sabah’s long and rugged coastline. It is also popularly known as the Tip of Borneo, the meeting point of the South China and Sulu seas.

Sunset views from the headland, white sandy stretches of beach and the brilliant azure colour of the ocean have earned this place the reputation as one of the most spectacular destinations in Sabah. – PR
