G

aia Music Festival (GMF) is set to return for its fifth edition, presenting a space to celebrate music in a warm, intimate and inspiring experience amid Bandung's scenic natural surroundings.

Carrying the theme "Music For All," Gaia Music Festival 2026 is slated to take place from Aug. 14 to 15 at The Gaia Hotel Bandung, which is also the event’s organizers.

Rony Triawan, chairman of Gaia Music Festival, said the theme was born from the belief that music is a universal language that can unite everyone, regardless of background.

"Amidst the various challenges facing the industry today, we believe people still need a space to enjoy entertainment and connect with one another. Through the theme of Music For All, we want to prove that music can bring together musicians, communities and audiences from various generations and backgrounds in one warm and meaningful experience," he said.

This year’s lineup ranges from pop, rock, jazz to indie acts, including Gigi Jazz Project, RAN, Teddy Adhitya, Adikara, Littlefingers, Keubitbit, Love Is and a special collaboration by Karimata & Tiara Effendy. Bass G Feat Song Brothers will also perform for two consecutive days at the Endless Stage, an alternative stage that offers a more relaxed and interactive performance atmosphere, with the natural panorama of The Gaia Hotel Bandung as a backdrop.

As part of the Road to Gaia Music Festival 2026 series, the organizers are also presenting the GMF Takeover program at Beebop Bar & Kitchen, Jakarta. Through this program, Gaia Music Festival is collaborating with local jazz communities and organizers to present special sessions featuring GMF musicians and Bass G in an intimate and interactive jam session format.

With a target of over 1,000 visitors over the two days of the event, Gaia Music Festival 2026 is expected to have a positive impact on the music ecosystem, tourism and the creative economy in Bandung. Support from various national media outlets, the arts community and creative industry players has strengthened the festival's position as a leading annual music event.

Beyond focusing on entertainment, Gaia Music Festival also demonstrates a commitment to inclusivity and sustainability. The festival grounds are designed to be family-friendly and accessible to people with disabilities, while various eco-friendly initiatives will be implemented to reduce the impact on the surrounding environment.

Through its signature spirit of togetherness, Gaia Music Festival 2026 invites all music lovers to enjoy two days of harmony, inspiration and meaningful connections. More than just a festival, Gaia Music Festival is a shared space to celebrate diversity through a universal language accessible to all: music.

Information regarding tickets, performance schedules, and other program details will be announced through Gaia Music Festival's official channels soon.
