AXEAN Festival
AXEAN Festival is a prominent Southeast Asian music export platform, combining a music conference and showcase festival.
Birthed in 2020 as a virtual music showcase festival, AXEAN Festival (formerly named ASEAN Music Showcase Festival or AMS) launched into the “real world” in 2022 and grew to become an internationally recognized platform that features musical talents from Southeast Asia and beyond whilst providing a place for the artists and music industry professionals from around the world to connect through genuine face-to-face networking opportunities.
In 2026, Sounds Australia will lead a delegation of Australian booking agents to AXEAN Festival. The program of networking events, panels, and market insights has been designed to deepen their understanding of the Southeast Asian music industry and create meaningful partnership opportunities in the region.
Sounds Australia’s AXEAN Festival Trade Mission is supported by the ASEAN-Australia Centre.
