Burning Beach Festival to be held in Bali
Burning Beach Festival is set to be the biggest House and Techno festival ever held in Bali, Indonesia and will be held over two days and nights on three stages at the incredible new beach club Canna Bali in Nusa Dua.
The main stage will be hosting ten international world-renowned headline DJs, as well as over forty DJs based in Indonesia hailing from Bali, Jakarta and around the globe across the rest of the festival.
On top of this, the organizers have activated and collaborated with some of the most well-known and beloved brands in Bali, Jakarta and beyond, including Escape, Mixmag Asia, Designer and Nebula from Jakarta to name a few. Together with the outstanding line-up, this will create an absolute not-to-be-missed atmosphere and experience never seen before in Bali.
Over the two days of the festival, guests will be able to enjoy a journey through house and techno, all spun in one of Indonesia’s most breath-taking beach clubs on the white sands of Nusa Dua.
The event originated from a collective of passionate like-minded music enthusiasts living in Lombok who wanted to curate a space for genuine musical connections, combining their collective backgrounds in large-scale renowned events across Europe. The fire was lit, so to speak, after they curated a series of successful beach parties that drew increased attention and hype. Initially the festival was due to take place in Lombok but after listening to the feedback from hundreds of inquiries the promoters made the brave decision to move it to Bali and this is great news for the island.
Organizers are also pleased to announce they have added two more international DJs to the roster including an absolute giant of house and techno in Darius Syrossian (main stage) and, as if the line-up wasn’t big enough already, one of Europe’s brightest young stars in Ale De Tuglie from Italy (Escape Stage).
Canna is one of the hidden gems in Bali with its absolutely stunning location and plenty of space and home comforts to ensure a quality experience for all attendees including a state of the art two level nightclub for the Burning Box late night revelers who don’t want stop!
Phase two early bird tickets (10% discount) are currently on sale and are available on www.burningbeach.com.
The Burning Beach experience is still growing and more will be revealed over the next few weeks.
‘Let’s start a fire!’
The WorldCup. Where to watch it in Bali?
Football’s biggest championship, The World Cup is on the way soon. It starts with the opening and first game between host nations Qatar and Ecuador at the Al Bayt Stadium at local Bali time of midnight Sunday, November 20, 2022.
The World Cup 2022 is being held in Qatar for the first time this year from Nov 20 and finishing with the final on Sunday December 18, right in time for Christmas!
There is a 5 hour difference in the time between Qatar to Bali so expect some late games, but some are reasonably timed during the group stages.
Group stage games will be televised live in Bali at 6pm, 9pm, midnight and 3am. The qualifying finals will be televised at 11pm and 3am. Thankfully, the Final itself is on at the manageable time of 11pm.
There will be some glary eyed football fans roaming around the streets of Bali late at night during that month so be careful on the roads.
So how can you watch it at home?
Free to air local stations SCTV (56-matches) and Indosiar (16-matches) will show all the games between them. Get an antennae quick. Moji and Mentari TV (selected group stage matches), Champions TV, Nex Parabola and Vidio (all matches and cheap)
Where to watch the World Cup in a bar?
Since some of the games are out of normal operating hours it can be difficult to find a place open for the late games but the early games shouldn’t be an issue at your usual sports bar. Ask if they are open for the 3am games. We shall update the list below as information comes in.

In 2023 we will present several different types of music festivals in one, with more variety of music, bigger and more memorable than before. The event will be held for two weeks and national and international musicians will perform.”

Bali Nightlife in December? No problem.
Bali nightlife never ceases to amaze. Last weekend we had Above and Beyond and Anjunadeep (Savaya), Nina Kraviz (Kudeta. pictured above) and Franky Rizardo (W Bali). This weekend, we have the biggest festival of the year, Burning Beach Festival being held in Nusa Dua, with dozens of DJs including big names Dubfire, Danny Tenaglia, Monkey Safari, Darius Syrossian, Anja Schneider and a load more internationals and locals taking to the decks at Canna Beach Club. There’s a whole bunch of other shows going around the other venues too like Ulu Cliffhouse – The Jungle Giants, W Bali – Andhim and Coiz, Alesso at Savaya, and there’s Hatch in Uluwatu re-opening this week and holding the Odyssey Festival, with a bunch of cool DJs in attendance on Saturday. You would think it was high season in the middle of August.
But hey, isn’t it the middle of December? The time of year when no one is around and the place is gearing up for the Christmas/New Year invasion. And let’s not talk about the weather – the stifling heat during the day particularly. Well, it would appear all that doesn’t matter. It now seems that all the old rules don’t count, we are now on a whole new, post-covid playing field where anything goes.
As they say fortune favors the brave and hats off to them, the organizers. We the punters are the beneficiaries of all these organizational events, could we say, online. Yes, we could say it is rather bold. And to finish off this marvelous weekend we have the World Cup Final at 11pm Sunday night. You couldn’t script it any better.
This is the new Bali, folks, where anything goes at any time.
Enjoy it and make sure you get out there and support these events as much as you can.
You may even have a great time doing it.
