And BALI was the only venue for SOUNDRENALINE being held! The first SOUNDRENALINE was held in 2002, each year they have different theme, and touring to different cities in Indonesia, this huge show with multiple stages playing at the same time!!, involves a lot of musicians, big crowd, big stage, big sound system and lighting and many more attractions as the supporting programs such as : <em>Sing a song booth, Mix your music corner, DJ booth, Express yourself booth<\/em>, photography contest with the festival theme. Each stage featured different artist with different genre of music.And the FOOD? YES! YES! off course!
