KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, May 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The much-loved, home grown Good Vibes Festival (GVF) will evolve this year into a 2-day international outdoor music festival on 12 August and 13 August 2016 at its new verdant venue The Ranch @ Gohtong Jaya in Genting Highlands. The third edition of #GoodVibesFest promises a bucket-list line-up with twice as many international and Malaysian acts as before.

The first of two announcements, #GoodVibesFest has secured headliners including Manchester's purveyors of infectious pop hooks and sprawling electro sonics The 1975 (Girls, Chocolate), Irish indie chart favourites Two Door Cinema Club (What You Know, Undercover Martyn) and anthemic indie-rock five-piece The Temper Trap (Sweet Disposition, Trembling Hands).

Joining the aforementioned powerhouses are Canadian electro-pop pair Purity Ring (Fineshrine, begin again), Australia's own renaissance man and beatmaker Ta-Ku (Love Again, I Miss You), and producer and remix wizard Ryan Hemsworth (Snow in Newark, From Grace).

From the homefront, acts announced so far include indietronica gang Enterprise (Oracle, On a Mission), indie-pop maven Froya (Fries in Cream, Uncomprehended Child), brothers in blood and beats Jumero (Free, Dancing With the Stars), dream-pop pairing Juno and Hanna (AIR, The Way), scene veterans Seven Collar T-shirt (Faith, Fragile), riotous pop Ampangites The Fridays (Responsible, God This Girl is Driving Me Crazy) and Edwin from They Will Kill Us All's new rock & roll outfit Toko Kilat.

Expect the full line-up announcement from #GoodVibesFest in the weeks to come.

The 18-and-above only festival will maintain its food village, Good Bites, featuring a spread of festival food staples by local artisanal entrepreneurs.

Tickets will be available for purchase at www.boxtix.asia. Ticket prices will increase in stages closer to the festival.

Future Sound Asia is the festival organiser of Good Vibes Festival 2016.
