KUCHING — Sarawak is once again preparing to welcome the world as the Sarawak International Festival of Music & Arts (SIFMA 6.0) returns on 6–7 December 2025. The two-day event, to be held at the iconic Sarawak State Legislative Assembly (New DUN), is expected to draw strong interest from arts enthusiasts, cultural supporters and visitors eager for top-tier international performances.
Organised to celebrate global creativity and cultural exchange, SIFMA has long been recognised as one of Sarawak’s most distinguished platforms for world-class music and performing arts. This year’s edition promises an even richer showcase, featuring performers from multiple countries alongside talented local groups proud to carry Sarawak’s artistic identity onto a bigger stage.
In keeping with the festival’s vision of making the arts accessible to the public, the Digital Access Pass for SIFMA 6.0 is being offered free of charge. However, organisers have emphasised that seats are strictly limited and will be assigned based on a first-come, first-served basis. Members of the public are encouraged to secure their passes as early as possible to avoid disappointment.
Each attendee aged seven and above is required to register individually. Every access pass will be tied to a single IC or passport number for verification purposes. This measure, according to the organisers, ensures fair distribution and smooth entry into the venue on both event days.
To register, visitors may scan the QR code displayed on the official poster or use the registration link provided. Standard terms and conditions will apply, including compliance with the festival’s dress code and hall regulations. These guidelines are put in place to uphold the dignity of the venue and maintain the professional environment expected for an international cultural event.
With global performers returning and Sarawak once again positioned as a regional arts hub, SIFMA 6.0 is poised to deliver a lively, colourful and memorable celebration. For many, it marks not just the return of world-level performances, but also a reminder of how cultural festivals continue to strengthen Sarawak’s place on the international stage.
