Hennessy Artistry returns on 21 November with HYOLYN as headliner
On 21 November, Hennessy is set to take to Sentul Depot for the highly-anticipated Hennessy Artistry! This year, the line-up comprises some of the most talented names in music including the likes of Smooth Brain Girly, Mia, Mason Nguyen, Nils Van Zandt, Dato Maw, Yaung, Tchuno, Axel Brizzy and Rave Republic. South Korean star HYOLYN, known for her powerhouse vocals and charismatic stage presence, will be the headliner act for this year’s Hennessy Artistry. In addition to the acts mentioned, it’s also said that there will also be not one but two mystery performers — so, that’s something to look out for.
Alongside the music, Hennessy Artistry will also house the Community Hall where lifestyle experiences, collaborations and installations come together. Think a curated cocktail menu by Penang’s The Nest at the Hennessy Bar, the Sephora x Hennessy Glam Bar, limited-edition festival merchandise from ButNotReally and spatial artist Kaiyi’s illuminated installation among others.
To get tickets to Hennessy Artistry 2026, you have to purchase a bottle of Hennessy V.S.O.P for two General Admission entries or a bottle of Hennessy X.O for four General Admission entries.

Here’s what happened at Tiger Roar Asian Music Festival
On 31 October 2026, Tiger Beer took to MIECC for the Tiger Roar Asian Music Festival featuring performers such as Paul Wong of Beyond, ØZI, 3P, ManHanD, Dato’ Maw, Elva Suyan and S.A.C. In addition to the performances, the event also included the Courage Market where local vendors offered a selection of bites ranging from sandwiches and sushi rolls to desserts. There’s also Courage Confessions, with attendees sharing their personal stories on the screen.
Julie Kuan, Marketing Manager of Tiger Beer Malaysia, said: “We believe everyone has an inner tiger, and that people are capable of more than they think. Sometimes, all it takes is the courage to push past that moment of doubt and take the next step. That’s the spirit we’ve been celebrating through Roar With Courage. With Tiger Roar Asian Music Festival, we brought these individual stories together through music, reminding Malaysians of the courage they already have within them.”

Did you know Highland Park has a brand-new look?
Global Senior Brand Ambassador Martin Markvardsen of Highland Park was recently in Malaysia for an intimate luncheon where he introduced the distillery’s new packaging. Orkney’s natural beauty takes the spotlight across the bottles of Highland Park’s core range — 12 Year Old, 15 Year Old and 18 Year Old single malt whiskies. Taking inspiration from the sherry-seasoned oak casks that Highland Park uses, the refreshed look comes with a subtle wood-grain pattern. Additionally, the whisky’s natural colour now also takes the spotlight with the new glass bottle shape.
“Orkney means everything to Highland Park. It’s where we’ve been for more than 220 years, and it’s where everything about our whisky comes from. We can’t make Highland Park anywhere else, because ingredients like our peat must come from Orkney. It is our home, and it always will be. The new packaging makes that clearer, from the heather flecks on our labels to the way we now talk about Orkney as our home, and that’s what makes Highland Park different,” said Markvardsen.
