One Earth Music Festival Langkawi
According to organizer Patrick Chen, "The idea for this music festival was born over drinks late one evening at the boat bar on the beach of the resort.
A group of us, made up of like minds, some of whom already call Langkawi home, and others who plan to, we lamented, while listening to the hotel band, that Langkawi did not have a music festival, and wouldn't it be great to have one?" and thus came this festival which will be the first of its kind here.
