Navicula took to the stage at the Legian community GKLKF, bringing an old energy with a new twist. The band, half of which is new since I last saw them, played with renewed vigor, blasting out their tunes on the massive beach stage. It was a nostalgic night filled with good vibes and great music. The event was part of a mini-sized food fest in the Legian area, which, despite being now 'chilled' and less crowded, still holds a special place in the hearts of many locals and expats. Whether you're a fan of the band or just looking to soak in the Legian vibe, it's definitely worth a visit.

DJs are strategically placed under and inside the monumental 10-meter sculpture, Zenía, designed by internationally acclaimed artist Daniel Popper. The design by Rockwell Group ensures that the experience is not just visually stunning but also practical and immersive, making it a must-visit for anyone in the area. Zumana offers a grand opening event on September 25 and 26, featuring a stellar lineup of DJs.
