The Old Street Stage will also feature performances by Mark Ashley, Peter Engkassan, Eddie Wong & Friends, Mathew Ngau Jau and B Groove. Statos Beyond the music, visitors can explore the atmosphere of Siniawan’s historic old town and its well-known night market, with approximately 100 vendors expected to offer food, drinks, local products and crafts throughout the festival. The combination of live performances, local flavours and the riverside heritage setting makes SCMF both a music festival and a community celebration of Siniawan. Statos Admission is free, with general seating available on a first-come, first-served basis. The festival is expected to welcome around 10,000 to 15,000 visitors over the three nights.
