MUSIC fest Stompin’ Sabah, billed as Sabah’s first and biggest entertainment-based New Year’s Eve celebration, will take place at Jesselton Point, Kota Kinabalu, on Dec 31 from 8pm till 2am. The event will showcase the coming together of “urban music” and “nature-inspired music” on stage. Stompin’ Sabah will feature local tribal troupes, deejays and international percussionists as well. The highlight of this event is the heart-stomping “drum battle” by Projek Pistol comprising local top musicians such as Edrie Hashim, Moq, Zam and Lola. Suria FM, the official Malay radio station for the music fest, is organising a contest for its listeners to win a fully paid trip to this event. Contest ends in mid-December. Those interested in taking part will have to record a short sample “Stompin’ tune” and send to stompinsabah@ suriafm.com.my. Suria FM listeners in Kota Kinabalu can also tune in to the segment, Suria Pagi Di KK, hosted by DJ Othoe on frequency 105.9fm, to win event tickets. Party-goers will enjoy the pre-event activities on Dec 30 and 31 at the sidewalk by our own illusionist Ezad, the exotic Mascara Dancers, hot fire breathers and tribal face painters. Tickets priced at RM30 and RM130 (VVIP) can be purchased at the main entrance of Jesselton Point from Dec 21 (11am–8pm) onwards.
