Noise Not Bombs Music Festival

04/08/2025

From the bottom of our hearts, we would like to thank all the bands that applied and performed at NNB2025! Thank you for the time and money spent to contribute your music and performance as a part of our festival this year. DIY music scene is very much still alive and well. Hope to see all of you again! 

Thank you for those who bought tickets, merch and beverages with us. Thank you to all the vendors that helped us feed our attendees. The Star Audio One team for the great sound quality and hardworking crew. Koko for providing amazing drums services. Koloyan River Cottage for continuing to be the great venue provider. 

We are still a very small DIY music festival that aimed to have full festival experience! Still manage to put up a festival without sponsors or exorbitant prices. Would like to self-thank all NNB crews for being the best team. This is our third year of organising and we hoped that we had improved our ex*****on.

Appreciate all the new and rekindled connections! Have a good rest everyone. For those from outside of Kuching, please come to visit us again!

At Noise Not Bombs, the only thing louder than the music is your stomach growling at 7pm.

We’ve got nasi lemak, street noodles, Korean fried chicken, lok-lok, kopi, burgers, goreng-goreng... and air balang so refreshing it might spiritually cleanse you.

💸 And don’t worry — this isn’t isn't other music festivals where a burger costs the same as your ticket. We keep it real: no vendor fee extortion = no RM30 fries. Support our vendors! And yes they can go to the stage area 😁

So bring cash (some vendors accept QR-scan too), eat your way through the crowd, and mosh with a full belly. And there's beverages sold both by external vendors and organiser too 🍺🍶🥃

DIY spirit, DIY prices, DIY digestion 🤘

BAND REVEAL // NNB2025
MAIR (Pontianak, Indonesia)

Forged in the hardcore crucible of neighbouring city of Pontianak, MAIR straddles the line between furious punk and socially conscious hardcore. Their 2023 single “Riuh Amarah,” featuring Baruz of Godless Symptoms, erupts as a claustrophobic anthem of resistance raw vocals, rattling riffs, and lyrical urgency calling for collective awakening.

The five-piece outfit forged from members of various bands Rendy (vocals), Bow & Hendra (guitars), Ezafallen (bass), and Ozy (drums) built their foundation on the 2022 EP Rebellious and earlier demos like MMXIX and Bertahan, creating a catalog steeped in disillusionment and defiance. Tracks like “Break the Chain” and “Pontianak Punk” mix powerful guest vocals and communal choruses, laying bare the failings of power and offering a fist raised for collective action.

MAIR isn’t just playing hardcore they’re translating local frustration into an inclusive call to arms. Catch their incendiary performance live at NNB2025 on August 2 at Koloyan River Cottage.
