Good fun in the name of charity
THE day is finally here, and tonight, Klang Valley folk will gather in the name of fun and charity to enjoy the Yogyakarta Quake Aid 2006 carnival, organised by the Force of Nature Aid Foundation, at Bukit Kiara Equestrian and Country Club Polo Field.
Three stages will be be featured, with the Main Ticket stage focusing on live acts while the second and third stages are a DJ pavilion for dance enthusiasts and a Comedy Theatre, respectively.
With a line-up that includes both Malaysian, Indonesian and international acts like Kris Dayanti, Ning Baizura, Pop Shuvit, Padi, Marcell, DJ Gabriel, DJ Cheapshot of Fort Minor, Disagree, LO, Ahli Fiqir, Harith Iskandar, Melly Goeslaw, Kingston, Saharadja and Naïf, the carnival promises a good time for the whole family.
It’s all systems go at the main stage.
The carnival will benefit survivors of the recent 6.3 magnitude earthquake that hit Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
Most of the Indonesian artistes arrived in Malaysia yesterday and have only one thought - to join forces with the Malaysian artistes to put on a great show for Malaysians who could support the cause with their presence.
Members of Indonesian group Padi said they were more than happy to be a Force of Nature and to perform at the charity festival because there was a need for more help for those in Yogyakarta and Bantul, the worst affected areas.
Visitors will also get a chance to watch DJ Cheapshot of Fort Minor fame performing live on stage.
Apart from the music, there will also be games and rides like the hot air balloon rides, foosball, aerospace experience, face painting, bouncing castle land, paintball, Playstation 2 booths, crazy maze and magic shows as well as an extensive variety of food and beverages.
From 2pm to 12.30am, there will be free shuttle bus services every 15 minutes from KL Sentral station to the Main Entrance, and the public is encouraged to use public transport to alleviate congestion.
However, those who choose to drive can park near the venue or at outdoor parking bays at the Securities Commission and at the National Science Centre.
Tickets for the carnival, priced at RM80 for full access entry, are available at all Tower Records and Music Valley outlets and at the venue.
All proceeds will go towards the Force Of Nature Aid Foundation’s Indonesia Quake Fund. Children under the age of 12 will be admitted free.
