BLAK Festival reveals the lineup for its first outdoor edition, bringing trance, techno, hard techno and hardstyle to Genting Highlands
BLAK Festival began as an indoor hard techno and hardstyle concept from Evolution Events Asia, the promoter behind events across Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand and Australia. After launching in Kuala Lumpur in 2025 and returning with another arena edition in 2026, the brand is now heading outdoors for the first time. On January 30, 2027, BLAK Festival will take over Resorts World Awana in Genting Highlands with two stages and a wider mix of trance, techno, hard techno and hardstyle.
The Lineup Expands BLAK Beyond Its Harder Roots
For its 2027 edition, BLAK Festival is bringing a wider mix of genres into the event. Chris Liebing and Sam Paganini add two established techno names, while Kander, ONLYNUMBERS, Svetec and The Saints represent the harder end of the lineup. Phuture Noize and The Straikerz continue BLAK’s connection with hardstyle, which has already been a major part of its earlier events.
Cosmic Gate and Gareth Emery add trance to the festival for the first time, alongside the techno, hard techno and hardstyle already associated with BLAK.
