The story

Miri Country Music Fest in Miri

Miri Country Music Fest is Malaysia's first and only dedicated country and western music festival, held annually in Miri, Sarawak, since 2014 at venues including Coco Cabana. The festival features rock, pop, contemporary, bluegrass, and folk country tunes performed by bands from Malaysia, the United States, Vietnam, and other countries, with several recent editions offering free entry.

Miri Country Music Fest began in 2014 in Miri, a coastal city in northern Sarawak whose economy is closely tied to the oil and gas industry, and has since built a reputation as Malaysia's first dedicated country and western music festival, a distinction organizers and local media continue to highlight as unique within the country's music festival landscape.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

As the first and, by organizers' own description, still the only country and western music festival in Malaysia, the event fills a genre niche found nowhere else in the country's music festival calendar, giving Miri a specific cultural identity distinct from the jazz and world music festivals held elsewhere in Sarawak

02

The mystery stays covered

Its lineup consistently draws a mix of international touring bands alongside strong representation from Sarawak's own local music scene, reflecting the festival's role in supporting the state's grassroots country music community

03

The city starts moving

The move to free admission in recent editions has been framed by organizers as a deliberate strategy to grow Miri's profile as a resort city and international event destination, reducing barriers to attendance for both locals and visiting tourists
