Why?
For the second time in Kuala Lumpur, the grounds of Bukit Kiara Equestrian Club is about to pulsate with the beat of some of the biggest, most influential international names in music, playing side by side with regional superstars from Indonesia and home grown talent from Malaysia. This mishmash of Hip-Hop, Rock, Pop, Soul, Dance and Jazz's finest stars is about to entertain Malaysian and international music fans alike, spread out over 6 different stages.

The Sunburst signature Sun and Sky Stage will return as the main platform for the international headliners and established local acts, while a massive indoor marquee will house the Livesounds Stage and Tuborg Loud & Clear Stage, showcasing the best local and regional acts in a more cozy setting. The Speedzone Interactive Tour will feature Formula 1 and Moto GP simulators within a futuristic club feel environment with DJs pumping out tunes as you race along your favorite track. Last but not least, the Silent Disco Arena makes its first appearance at Sunburst with not a single speaker in sight as an intimate number of revelers groove to tunes by A-list DJs via the 300 pairs of wireless headphones.

This one day music festival, cramped into a 12-hour programme of continuous music and various activities and games is accessible to everyone for just RM200 per pre-sale ticket. Tickets are available at all Axcess Tickets outlets nationwide, online and through phone booking. The festival will be held at the Polo Pavilion, Bukit Kiara Equestrian Club, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Doors will be open to music lovers, party-goers and even families starting at 2.00pm on March 21st 2009.

To those who are still holding on to their tickets, congratulations! Now we are on the right track! no more unclear picture of Sunburst 2009!

According to KLue's website, Coldplay will not be coming. Razman Razali, Managing Director of Pineapple Concerts explained that if they had booked Coldplay, they would be the only international act playing the show (eg they were too expensive). He goes on to say that while that may suit some festival-goers, that wasn't want he wanted for Sunburst. He wanted a festival that could cover most genres.
