Quest Festival 2016 Jesse Meadows

Quest Festival adds 60 more acts and new takeover sessions

Quest Festival has revealed a brand new stage and hefty roster of names joining their 2017 edition this November.

Happening at the lush Son Tinh Camp, a 40-minute drive from Hanoi, on November 10-12 (Fri-Sun), Quest is introducing a brand new stage in addition to its existing four while toting 60 more music acts on top of the already confirmed names like The Orb Soundsystem, Stars and Rabbit, and X0809.

They are led by acclaimed Spanish one-man band Vurro, who’ll be bringing his keyboards, cowbells and signature LED cow skull to Southeast Asia for the first time. Vietnamese super act Jaunty Maniacs and New Fame ft. DJ Skulz will keep the crowd moving with their hard hitting hip-hop, dance, trap and dancehall jams.

London-based “hip-hop overlord” Chemo will also light up the mic as The Steezies bring on a flamboyant cross-cultural performance and Zamnna combine Afrobeat, reggae and Asian rhythms into an intoxicating blend.

Quest Festival is also building on last year’s successful partnerships with regional and international music collectives. Beside Die Empathie and the Hots Boat Parties previously announced, expect takeovers from ELE Records, Saigon Dub Station, The Reggae Rebels and Slum Disco Sound System, Greendance, The Nang and more.
