Following the immense success of last year’s edition, Here Comes the Sun Eater (HCTS) is back in Kuala Lumpur on 8th December, promising an unforgettable evening of diverse sounds and captivating performances.  

PENTAS SIHIR, the highly anticipated collaboration between Indonesia’s renowned acts HINDIA and LOMBA SIHIR, will headline this year’s event. 

This rare two-hour set blends Hindia’s introspective, genre-defying style with Lomba Sihir’s vibrant, eclectic energy, offering fans an extraordinary celebration of music and creativity that pushes boundaries in the Indonesian scene.  

Following their mesmerising performance at TAPAUfest 2023, RUB OF RUB, the experimental dub band from Bandung is ready to captivate audiences again with tracks like “Lepas” from their 2018 EP Ruang Waktu.

Kicking off the show will be Kuala Lumpur’s very own SWEETASS, a grunge/fuzz outfit that has become a staple in Malaysia’s alt-rock scene. 

Known for their energetic live performances and clever, self-aware lyrics, they’ll perform hits from their cult-classic debut album Wa Caya Lu and their 2023 follow-up Heavy Rotation.

The event will take place at Zepp Kuala Lumpur from 4:00 PM to 10:30 PM.

A collaboration between Sun Eater, the Indonesian entertainment powerhouse, and TAPAUasia, Southeast Asia’s indie community hub, HCTS promises a night of groundbreaking performances that reflect the region’s vibrant music scene.
