Following its successful debut in 2025, Malaysia’s signature youth lifestyle festival, LahLahLand, is set to return on a grander scale this 10 and 11 October 2026 at the MINES International Exhibition & Convention Centre (MIECC). Evolving from the rich cultural legacy of SneakerLAH, the two-day festival brings together sneakers, streetwear, independent music, local food, competitive esports, running culture, collectibles, and horology under one roof.
At the core of the festival is SneakerLAH, which marks its fifth major collaboration with ASICS through the launch of the SneakerLAH | ASICS GEL-KAYANO 20 ‘Ais Kacang’. Taking aesthetic cues from the beloved shaved-ice dessert, the release builds on previous iconic Malaysian tributes, including the ‘Nasi Lemak’, ‘KLCC’, ‘Teh Tarik’, and ‘Mamee’ editions.
Music remains a centerpiece through ConcertLAH, presenting a cross-genre roster of prominent and emerging homegrown talent. The lineup features indie rock pioneers Hujan, hip-hop frontrunners Dannqrack & Eemrun with special guests, alternative rock outfit Sweetass, rapper-producer Kidd Santhe & Friends, Malaysiana DJ Jemput Dengar, alongside collaborative DJ sets from S4D Habits and Lil Asian Thiccie x I-SKY.
Broadening its scope for 2026, the festival introduces new dedicated verticals, including WatchesLAH—showcasing timepieces from Hamilton, Casio, and Rado alongside curated vintage vendors—and CardsLAH, spotlighting trading card game communities alongside a guest appearance by acclaimed TCG illustrator Haru Akasaka. In the fitness arena, LariLAH features the adidas Hyperrelay, pitting Kuala Lumpur’s top running crews—such as adidas Runners KL, Brand New Waves, and Journey Run Club—against each other for city bragging rights.
Visitors can also explore the SantaiMaa lifestyle marketplace, competitive Tekken 8 and eFootball battles at EsportsLAH, skate showdowns at SkateLAH powered by THVSKL, and curated dining at MakanLAH powered by Grab Dine Out.
“SneakerLAH will always be at the heart of what we do, but LahLahLand has allowed us to bring so many different communities together,” said founder Bryan Chin. “Seeing all these different cultures and communities sharing the same space is exactly what we hoped LahLahLand would become.”
Hosted by emcee Raj Mahal, LahLahLand 2026 opens from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM (with 10:00 AM early access for VIP ticketholders). General admission tickets start from RM30 for presale, with passes and event details available at lahlahland.my.
