KUALA LUMPUR, 26 October 2026 — Lenggong is preparing to welcome 500 musicians for a large-scale performance at the MegaJamz Lenggong Music Festival 2026 on 29 November, as organisers aim to create a new record in the Asia Book of Records.
The inaugural festival will be held at Resort Tasik Raban in Lenggong, Perak, and is intended to introduce the district’s natural beauty and heritage to a wider audience through music. Organisers also hope the event will strengthen Lenggong’s position as an international tourism destination and contribute to the local economy.
Lenggong Tourism Council chairman Datuk Seri Dr Shamsul Anuar Nasarah said the festival would be a highlight of the Lenggong International Dialogue 2026, which will bring together more than 500 participants from 16 countries.
He said the event would showcase Lenggong’s unique attractions to an international audience, with the hope that greater exposure would encourage more visitors to the area and generate economic opportunities for the local community.
Showcasing Lenggong’s UNESCO Heritage
Lenggong holds two UNESCO recognitions: the Archaeological Heritage of the Lenggong Valley is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, while Lenggong is also recognised as a UNESCO Global Geopark. The festival aims to highlight these attractions by combining a musical experience with the district’s natural landscape and heritage.
Dato KK Chua, Founder and Chief Adjudicator of Asia Record, said the planned gathering was an opportunity to bring people together while drawing attention to Lenggong’s cultural and tourism attractions.
“Bringing 500 musicians together for a single performance is an ambitious undertaking. It demonstrates how music can unite people around a shared goal while introducing more visitors to the beauty and heritage of Lenggong,” he said.
Jo Branko to Join the Performance
Malaysian rock guitarist Jo Branko is scheduled to make a special appearance in the simultaneous performance. The festival will also be organised with the cooperation of various departments and agencies under the Ministry of Home Affairs, including the National Registration Department, Royal Malaysia Police, National Anti-Drugs Agency, Department of Volunteer Corps Malaysia, Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency and Immigration Department.
Jo Branko, who has more than 40 years of experience and has taken part in nearly 3,500 concert performances, expressed excitement about the festival. He acknowledged the challenge of bringing 500 musicians together and shared the hope that the event would become a yearly fixture in Lenggong.
Free Admission and a Target of 10,000 Visitors
The event is scheduled to begin at 4pm, with free admission. Organisers are targeting at least 10,000 visitors and hope that a successful festival will pave the way for it to become an annual event attracting music fans from Malaysia and abroad.
