Watches and trading cards join the festival’s second edition
SNEAKERS, live music, gaming and food will come together when LahLahLand returns to the Mines International Exhibition & Convention Centre (MIECC) on Oct 10 and 11.
Following its debut last year, the festival will introduce watch and trading card segments alongside returning activities centred on streetwear, skateboarding and local music.
The event grew out of SneakerLah, which remains part of its programme. This year’s sneaker collaboration with Asics is the Gel-Kayano 20 Ais Kacang, inspired by the colours of the Malaysian dessert.
It marks the fifth collaboration between SneakerLah and Asics, following releases inspired by nasi lemak, KLCC, teh tarik and Mamee.
SneakerLah and LahLahLand founder Bryan Chin said the festival had given the organisers room to bring more interests into the programme.
“Last year was really about introducing people to what LahLahLand could be, so seeing it grow and start to take on a life of its own this year is something I’m incredibly proud of,” he said.
Local acts take the stage
Hujan will perform as part of ConcertLah, joining a Malaysian lineup spanning indie rock, hip-hop, alternative and electronic music.
Other acts include Dannqrack and Eemrun with special guests, Sweetass, Kidd Santhe & Friends and Rudeen. The programme also features sets by S4D Habits, comprising S4d.kl and Bad Habits, as well as Lil Asian Thiccie with I-Sky, Jemput Dengar, Belia Benci Club and ZU.
Raj Mahal will host the two-day event.
Beyond the stage, EsportsLah will hold Tekken 8 and eFootball Mobile tournaments, while SkateLah will feature team battles and Best Trick competitions.
Running also joins the programme through the adidas HyperRelay, an invitational relay race involving clubs including adidas Runners KL, Brand New Waves, Journey Run Club, KJRC and Weekend Athletics.
Watches, cards and vintage finds
The new WatchesLAH segment will feature Hamilton, Casio and Rado alongside vintage watch vendors.
CardsLah Card Party will bring together trading card vendors and collectors, with works and a special appearance by illustrator Haru Akasaka.
The festival’s marketplace will be organised in collaboration with local lifestyle market SantaiMaa, offering independent brands, vintage clothing, accessories and collectables. The Influencer Pre-Loved Market will also return.
Meanwhile, MakanLAH will feature food and drink vendors including Banglo 289, La Pane, HWC Coffee, Mad Bebek, Rawtee, Lotteria, AllAce, Lim Fried Chicken and myBurgerLab.
