Art of Speed 2026: The Ultimate Summer Fusion of Kustom Culture, Diecast, and Music

Where Custom Automotive Artistry Meets High-Octane Lifestyle

Malaysia’s premier Kustom and counter-culture gathering is gearing up to take over the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park, Serdang (MAEPS) this August 1–2. Under the vibrant theme “Summer Festival - Kustom Bergaya,” Art of Speed 2026 (AOS 2026) promises a massive weekend experience spanning 452,084 sq ft of indoor space and 320 acres outdoors. The event brings together global automotive icons, world-class custom builders, diecast collectors, and subcultural communities for a celebration that bridges local craftsmanship with global automotive culture. Highlight showcases include legendary Japanese names like Liberty Walk, Hawgholic’s 1945 Harley-Davidson Knucklehead, and Vise Clothing’s 1966 Harley-Davidson Shovelhead.

Six Stages of Sound: The Biggest SoundCircus Yet

Music lovers are in for an unprecedented treat as the SoundCircus Festival returns bigger than ever, featuring six stages spread across MAEPS. Running from 3:00 PM to midnight on both days, the star-studded lineup includes heavyweights such as Ella x Cokelat, Jemput Dengar featuring Sheila Majid, Nadin Amizah, Disagree, and special anniversary sets celebrating 20 years of Hujan and 30 years of Asian Hardcore. Festivalgoers looking for an extra thrill can even take on a zip line directly above the live concert crowd on the Flying Fox across the SoundCircus Pentas 16 Stage.

High-Stakes Battles and Red Carpet Stardom

The prestigious AOS Invitational Build-Off makes its return, pitting eight elite local custom motorcycle builders—including Chaos Custom and Valley Machines—against each other for cash prizes and a coveted spot at The 34th Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show in Japan. Attendees can also watch custom machines take center stage at the new Red Carpet Photo Zone at the Entrance Arch, while Hall A hosts the Show & Shine competition featuring Chopper Paradise, Pick-Up Line custom trucks, and international builds from Thailand.

Hot Wheels Convention and Exclusive Diecast Drops

Diecast collectors will find their paradise in Hall C with the 4th Official Hot Wheels Collectors Convention Malaysia (HWCCM).
