Urbanscapes is an all-ages festival but there are certain areas of the site which is restricted only to those who are 18 and above. To avoid confusion within the festival grounds, we will card everyone at the entrance and assign the right wristband colour respectively. Orange for those 18 and above, and blue for those below. Those with black wristbands are performers, so feel free to mob them if you like.


- What's your colour?

- Make sure to bring enough cash
The closest ATM machines are at Amcorp mall, which is a 5-10 min walk away. So if you don't want to trek out of the festival site every time you run out of money shopping, drinking or eating, do bring enough cash with you (and preferably in small denominations, vendors will thank you for it). But with cash, comes responsibility, so do make sure to keep your possessions safe with you at all times.




- It is an all-day, rain or shine event
While we don't expect Glastonbury-type conditions (we're in a field in PJ, after all!), weather can still be unpredictable. And since the show will go on, rain or shine, it is best to come prepared with both sunblock and a poncho if you can. And dress comfortably!




- Keep yourself well-fed and hydrated
Amid all the fun, don't forget to allocate some time towards food and drink to keep you going. Of all places, you wouldn't want to be a casualty in a padang in Petaling Jaya.


- The only thing you should be shooting with is with your camera
Feel free to come with whatever camera you like and snap away, but please leave all weapons, pointy objects and other hazardous items at home, or wherever you found them.


- Everyone loves people who clean after themselves
There are trash bins all around the festival grounds. Do everyone a favour and make sure that, that is the only place where your trash ends up. No one likes a messy and dirty park, least of all MBPJ, who have generously let us use the venue, so please show our appreciation by doing our part.





- Create and keep lots of memories
Check out the two cool new apps launching at Urbanscapes. Style Snaps (stylesnap.it), to help you snap, share and keep track of all those stylish festival-goers (including yourself). And Gigorama (gigorama.net), your live music companion to capture all the best festival sets and to relive it all over again after the festival

Peneng yang pening


While soaking in the sun at one of the many beautiful beaches is a must, visitors must bring along their most comfortable walking shoes because there is a whole new world to be explored in the quaint nooks and crannies of George Town. Offering the best of Asia, Penang 's sights and sounds reflect the colourful heritage of her many races and the pride of her people.


In Penang , the journey never ends and the excitement never stops. There is so much to do here, we'd recommend at least a two-week stay to really experience the culture and all that this beautiful paradise has to offer. Live like a local and see what laid back Penangites love to indulge in - travel in trishaws and shop at the many quaint night markets. Be adventurous and explore! Though there are definitely more than 10 interesting things to do in Penang, here's our Top 10 picks of “must-dos” when visiting the Pearl of the Orient.


Penang gourmet ranges from street food to fine dining but her myriad of flavours are definitely unique to the island state. With each race offering their own traditional fare, foodies will be spoilt for choice. Although every culture has their signature dishes, they are also influenced by other cooking styles and have managed to come up with their own special creations that represent a beautiful blend of tastes and spices.
