Rainforest World Music Virtual Experience RWMF 2021
The Rainforest World Music Festival 2021 Virtual Experience, or RWMF 2021, will take place this year, but not in the usual way we’ve seen the festival held. Sarawak Tourism Board has ensured that fans of this unique festival can get ‘Entranced, Liberated, Immersed’ from the comfort of their own homes with RWMF 2021.
With Covid19 disrupting much of tourism, entertainment and lifestyle since March 2020, the entire world is undergoing a reform that has made many people think out of the box, and this virtual experience is one of them. The concept for RWMF2021 will highlight a unique musical showcase featuring a retrospective of past RWMF performances and new pre-recorded sessions with homegrown acts.

All of this will be streamed online for free from 18-20 June 2021, and fans or viewers only need to register on the official website (www.rwmf.net) to attend this virtual experience.
Since the iconic Rainforest World Music Festival 2020 did not occur in Sarawak due to the Covid 19 lockdowns, the RWMF 2021 Virtual Experience is for fans and festival goers who felt the absence of this much-loved event last year and as a teaser for RWMF 2022.
The virtual experience of the RWMF2021 does not stop here. There will be other activities involved as well, including online workshops and food delivery.
RWMF 2021 Workshops – Viewers will watch past years’ daytime RWMF workshops and various performances on the “Workshop Page” on www.rwmf.net.
RWMF 2021 Food Delivery via Grab – As the official food delivery partner, viewers can order food from Grab during the virtual experience and get a discount. Register on rwmf.net for more details.
RWMF 2021 Limited Edition Merchandise – Shopee is the official eCommerce partner, and viewers can purchase limited-edition RWMF2021 merchandise on the platform or watch the virtual experience on Shopee Live.

Conclusion
If you are a Malay reader or in Indonesia, a friend of mine wrote an article about the RWMF 2021 Virtual Experience on the Pontianak Post, and you can read it in Bahasa. Fans and others interested in this year’s Rainforest World Music Festival 2021 can now register on the official website to experience it virtually.
Because of the Covid 19 pandemic worldwide in 2020, the RWMF2020 was cancelled and brought forward. However, the pandemic is still not going anywhere; hence, the event was made digital. Therefore, the Rainforest World Music Festival 2021 Virtual Experience will be a stepping stone toward generating hype and awareness for the next big event: the Rainforest World Music Festival 2022, or RWMF2022.
