Ismaya Live has announced the return of Sunny Side Up Tropical Festival, which will be held on Saturday, 24 August 2019, at its brand-new home, Manarai Beach House in Nusa Dua, Bali.

Australian producer and DJ, Flume, will headline this year’s Sunny Side Up Tropical Festival. His upcoming appearance at Sunny Side Up will be the first time Flume has ever performed in Bali.
