Looking ahead to his performance session, KYRRA promises attendees an upgraded version of his gritty sound and dynamic deck charisma fans have come to expect. “Please look forward to seeing how much my sound, energy, and performance have evolved this year,” he conveys.
KYRRA also said he hopes to catch a few longtime favorites at the festival. “Hopefully, I’ll finally get the chance to see Pola & Bryson or LSB perform in person this year.”
LOCUS lodges at Labyrinth Dome, a 360º immersive dome setup at Nuanu Creative City on Thursday, June 18, and roars through Bali’s ultimate festival destination, LUNA Beach Club, for the remainder of its explosive run.
