Soda Gembira is Nongkrong’s club night. A nod to the classic Indonesian pink drink—fruity, layered, and delightfully extra—this event brings the same playful energy to the dance floor, with a cheeky edge that’s all about self-expression and shaking. dat. ass.

With dancers and DJs taking over, expect a genre-spanning journey through Indonesia’s underrepresented club sounds—from dangdut, koplo, funkot, jedag jedug to breakbeat—reimagined through the lens of Naarm’s Indonesian diaspora.

Food available from Nongkrong’s gerobaks (street food carts) running from 7pm to sold out

We acknowledge that Nongkrong Festival takes place on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. As we celebrate Indonesian culture, we do so on Country that has held Indigenous cultural knowledge since time immemorial.

We recognise that our settlement as diaspora in so-called Australia is built on dispossession and stand in solidarity with First Nations people and their ongoing struggle for Treaty, land, sovereignty and truth-telling. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Always was and always will be Aboriginal Land.
