In our past experiences at Gegaria, the finale concert is always super happening guys, you definitely don't want to miss it! People start camping out at the stage area hours before to make sure they get the best view 'cause there's always a huge crowd gathered by the time the show starts.

Everyone always gets really into it, singing, dancing, jumping, and just all-out partying to some of the hottest local acts such as Noh Salleh, Bunkface, SonaOne, Nabila Razali, and Kugiran Masdo.
