Over 10,000 fans attended the epic finale of Heineken Refresh 2025 for a night of genre-bending music, ice-cold beers and high-energy vibes at Resorts World Awana, Genting Highlands on June 21, 2025.
Set against the cool highland air, the finale transformed strangers into music buddies over a shared love for sound and Heineken.
From the first drop to the final explosion of lights, Refresh delivered on Heineken’s bold vision: to break musical boundaries, inspire new sound discoveries and spark real-life moments of connection between music lovers.
The night saw homegrown rising duo Beautiful Mistakes opened the night with a genre-fluid set that had the crowd swaying, moving and fully in the zone.
The momentum built as Jovynn and AnnJo brought their distinct sound to the crowd and fan-favourite Blink took the stage with his signature blend of big-room sound and exciting setlist to entertain the crowd.
In a twist, Beautiful Mistakes and later Blink handed the reins over to the crowd, inviting fans to votefor the next genre drop, in real time. From EDM and House, rock to K-pop, the audience didn’t just follow the beat, they played a part in shaping it.
This two-way exchange elevated the experience, bringing fans closer to the music and making the night feel uniquely their own. Most importantly, it encouraged music lovers to explore new sounds and step out of their usual playlists, embodying the spirit of the Heineken Refresh movement.
The atmosphere shifted as HYO took the stage, blending her K-pop legacy with bold, high-impact electro and EDM.
Grammy-award winning DJ-producer Zedd stood at the pinnacle of the night and delivered a masterclass in high-energy performance.
As the beats kicked in, the crowd surged with friends and strangers jumping in sync, hands in the air, shouting every drop.
The night was an unforgettable experience, where world-class music met a refreshing vibe, creating a sense of unity among attendees.
“Heineken Refresh is more than just music – it’s about discovery and shared experience. It’s about stepping into the unexpected, whether that’s a new genre, a surprising venue, or a connection with someone you’ve just met,” said Heineken Malaysia Bhd marketing manager (premium) Shaun Lim.
Now in its third year, the Heineken’s music platform continues to raise the bar in how fans experience music and connect with one another.
“We’ve reimagined how music brings people together, especially when it’s shared with an ice-cold Heineken.
“With each Refresh Your Music, Refresh Your Nightscampaign, Heineken will continue to inspire music lovers to step out of the familiar, discover new sounds and spark new connections,” added Lim.
Earlier in the night, the much-anticipated Heineken Moment lit up the highlands sky. Fireworks erupted in sync with the beat, a kaleidoscope celebration that brought the crowd together in a shared experience.
