Still deciding what to do this weekend? Here are four things happening around Kuching from Friday to Sunday — one for rock fans, two for registered young participants, and one big Merdeka-eve concert just outside the city. Rock In The City 2026 Saturday, 29 August, 8:15pm–12:00am Wisma Melayu, Jalan Diplomatik, Kuching A proper late-night rock session is coming to town, with live performances and a regional Malaysia–Brunei–Indonesia rock spirit. If your ideal Saturday is loud guitars, lights and a crowd that sings along, this is the one to circle.
