Why Come

Not Just Watching — This Is a Turning Point

Last year's attendees said leaving Pijar Fest felt like a reset. Here is why.

Material You Can Use on Monday

Not motivational theory — every session is required to bring a framework, real numbers and a case study from the speaker's own business.

1,500 People on the Same Wavelength

Designers, musicians, writers, brand owners — collaborations and new clients tend to start in the coffee queue.

Talks by Day, Concert by Night

One ticket, two worlds. Learn until the afternoon, then close the day with live music on the outdoor stage. No other festival here does both.

Free Portfolio Review

Sit down one to one with a speaker and get honest feedback on your work — the kind of session that normally costs hundreds.

A Creative Market of 40 Stalls

Merchandise, zines, coffee and original work from selected local makers. Shop and support the scene at once.

Rated 4.8/5 by 2025 Attendees

92% of last year's attendees said they would return — and 300 of them bought a 2026 ticket before the lineup was announced.

Location

Venue: Karya Timur Hall, Bandung

A former textile mill turned creative space — a 1,500-seat indoor main hall plus an outdoor field for the music stage.

45 Industri Kreatif Street, Kiaracondong, Bandung — ten minutes from Kiaracondong station.

Getting There & Shuttle

Facilities

A 20-stall food court, prayer room, baby-feeding room, outdoor seating and free water refills — bring a bottle.

FAQ

Frequently Asked

Still unsure? Check here first — or message the organisers directly.

Every tier — Early Bird, Regular and VIP — covers both full days, 12–13 September 2026, including the evening music stage and the closing party. There is no single-day ticket.

Once you submit the booking form we send an invoice to your email and WhatsApp within two working hours. Pay by bank transfer or card, and the e-ticket is issued automatically once payment clears.

Tickets are non-refundable, but you can change the name free of charge up to three days before through the organisers. After that the name on the e-ticket must match your ID at the wristband exchange.

Regular ticket holders pick one workshop at the wristband exchange (60 places per room, first come first served). VIP holders may attend every workshop without taking a place from the quota. Early Bird does not include workshops.

Phone and compact cameras are fine. Professional cameras with interchangeable lenses and drones are for accredited press only — apply by email at least a week ahead.

It does — the outdoor stage is covered and free ponchos are handed out in the audience area. In severe weather the performance moves to the Main Hall with timed entry.
