Bali, November 8, 2025 — Amidst the hustle and bustle of daily routines that often leave us feeling overwhelmed, sometimes all we need is a moment to pause, breathe in fresh air, and enjoy music that lifts the mood. This is the spirit embodied by Havaianas, the iconic Brazilian sandal brand, through Summer Sound Bali, a music festival infused with the laid-back energy of summer. Through this event, Havaianas invited the people of Bali to take a break and embrace moments of relaxation by the beach. 

Held at Kuta Beach, Summer Sound Bali music festival featured three rising Bali-based bands, including Nosstress, The Hydrant, and MANJA. Nosstress, an indie acoustic group known for their reflective lyrics and warm arrangements, presented a soothing and meaningful performance. Meanwhile, The Hydrant, a rockabilly band and pioneer of the genre in Indonesia, brought distinctive retro flair and high energy vibes to the stage. Completing the lineup, MANJA, an alternative pop-rock band, captivated the crowd with their fresh and contemporary music style.  
 
In addition to the three bands, Summer Sound Bali was energized by DJ performances from todaysrenaissance and daffabedamned, along with DJ Raissa Febriani, who brings dynamic electronic beats that kept the atmosphere alive well into the evening. Together, these six performers each brought their own musical colors and characters, creating a vibrant and uplifting ambiance throughout the event. 

“Through Summer Sound Bali, we want to create a moment of excitement and joy for the Bali community by showcasing talented local artists through a music festival. This event is a manifestation of Havaianas’ commitment to encourage people to take a moment to unwind amidst their daily routines. With live music, engaging activities, and the warm atmosphere of Kuta Beach, we want to invite everyone to enjoy this fun moment with Havaianas,” said Inderpreet Singh, Vice President Footwear & Active, Kanmo Group. 
 
Beyond the live performances, visitors were also able to take part in various activities with Havaianas that were added to the excitement of the event. At the Make Your Own Havaianas (MYOH) area, visitors were invited to personalize and design their own pair of Havaianas sandals. From selecting strap and sole color combinations, adding unique pins, to drawing directly on the sandals, visitors were free to create designs that reflected their personality. The atmosphere was further enhanced by fun games, hair braiding activities, and cozy lounging areas that became favorite spots to relax. Visitors also enjoyed complimentary refreshing drinks and gelato throughout the event. 

“Summer Sound Bali is more than just a music festival, but also a celebration of togetherness and joy, which lies at the heart of the Havaianas spirit. We want to continue to remind everyone that moments to relax and enjoy life can be found anytime and anywhere, as long as we are willing to pause and embrace the moment,” Inderpreet concluded.
