The story

We The Fest in Jakarta

Launched in 2014 by Ismaya Live, the organizer behind Djakarta Warehouse Project, We The Fest is a summer festival combining multi-genre music with fashion, arts, and food rather than a single musical style. Typically held in July or August, its venue has moved from Parkir Timur Senayan to JIExpo Kemayoran to Gelora Bung Karno, with a documented hiatus in 2025 before a planned return.

Ismaya Live, the same organizer behind Djakarta Warehouse Project, launched We The Fest with its first edition on August 24, 2014, at Parkir Timur Senayan, positioning it from the start as a summer festival covering music, arts, fashion, and food rather than a single-genre concert event.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

02

The mystery stays covered

Sharing an organizer, Ismaya Live, with Djakarta Warehouse Project links it institutionally to Indonesia's largest EDM festival, though the two events differ sharply in genre breadth and overall atmosphere

03

The city starts moving

Its venue history, moving from Parkir Timur Senayan to JIExpo Kemayoran and eventually to the Gelora Bung Karno Sports Complex, tracks the festival's growth in scale across roughly a decade
