Martell is closing 2025 in an epic way with the return of its Noblige Swift Festival. Set to take place on 13 December, the latest chapter of the nightlife fixture promises to unveil a new surrealist-inspired chapter shaped by unexpected visuals, dreamlike moments, and Martell’s audacious spirit to Soar Beyond the Expected.
The headlining acts have already been announced. A trio of global acts — Wujackers, Yihuik, and Suvin — are set to take the stage at JioSpace, Petaling Jaya. The acts will be supported by a strong line-up of homegrown talent.
Wujackers
Wujackers, the explosive collaboration between Dutch duo Bassjackers and Singaporean DJ Wukong, will make only their second-ever appearance. Blending Eastern motifs with Western big-room energy, they promise a charged, high-impact performance amplified by specially curated visuals that complement the festival’s surreal theme.
Local Representation
Yihuik
Adding an emotive contrast to the night is Malaysian-born singer-songwriter Yihuik. With over 4.5 billion streams to her name, her atmospheric set is poised to introduce an immersive, introspective layer to the festival experience.
South Korean DJ-producer Suvin — formerly of K-Pop girl group Dal Shabet — will make her Swift Festival debut with a bespoke set celebrating K-Pop anthems beloved by Malaysian audiences, following extensive international touring across Asia and Europe.
DJ Nina
The festival also shines a spotlight on rising and established local names. DJ Exclusive Pete, winner of the 2023 Martell Swift Talent Quest, joins the line-up alongside DJ Nina, DJ Reeve, and DJ Svggy, the reigning champion of last year’s Martell Noblige Swift Talent Quest. MC Chan and MC Dnesh will keep the crowd energised throughout the night.
Shinning A Spotlight
Exclusive Pete
This year’s festival expands the surreal universe through immersive visuals, dynamic lighting, and large-scale projections that evolve with each performance. Signature installations return, while surreal crowd-favourite moments — from distorted perspectives to unexpected transitions — transform the venue into shifting dreamscapes.
The event also hosts the grand finale of the Martell Noblige Swift Talent Quest – DJ Edition, now in its third year as a leading platform for emerging Malaysian DJs. Six finalists — K1, Novern, Saucie J, TZ, X, and Yeow — will compete for the RM30,000 cash prize and rewards totalling RM128,000. This year’s competition, held in collaboration with DJs Playground, introduced new format twists including collaborative sets and genre flips.
Open to the public, the Martell Noblige Swift Festival welcomes all to be part of the celebration. More details and passes are available on the official website. Guests are encouraged to arrive early for Swift Surprises, including The Frozen Spark: Martell frozen cognac paired with a frozen grape ritual.
