A new 2-day festival descends upon Bali's Mertasari Beach

Check your diaries and keep space open for the Hello Bali, a newly minted festival heading to the Island of the Gods this month. Presented by Swan City, Hello Bali takes place between December 21- 22 on Mertasari Beach and the line-up is an eclectic mix of dance, hip hop, reggae and bass music with local and international talents like Iggy Azalea, Sean Kingston and Mario. On the bassier side of things, the Barong Family has once again organised their own stage with heavy hitters as Moksi, Nonsens and RayRay, amongst others. Representing the Indonesian massive are collaborator Agnez Mo, GiGi and Septa. See the full line-up below:

When it comes to Bali, there’s nothing better than a beach party – especially if it includes Balinese cultural dancing, a Zumba party, beach volleyball, soap foam football, beach bowling and a slip and slide competition. The grand prize winner gets to take home a car. So if you’re in the region, here’s your excuse to hop on a flight, get your shorts on and get wet.

Hello Bali takes place on December 21 & 21 at Mertasari Beach. Get tickets here.
