Dissolve Weekend 2024 Returns to Marriott International’s Selected Bars in Bali

Nothing could beat the thrill and delight of swaying to some techno-pop music while you are getting your refill of the crafted cocktails. Returning from last year’s triumph, Marriott Bonvoy unveils Dissolve Weekend 2024 with more extensive lineups and feistier revelries from 16 to 18 August 2024. The festival is a three-day extravaganza of music, cocktails, food, and entertainment set to unfold at three Marriott International properties in Bali.

A sundowner session at R Bar within Renaissance Bali Uluwatu Resort & Spa grounds is set to kickstart the series of events. The second day is for a cocktail party at Woobar, W Bali – Seminyak, while the final day is where attendees may conclude the exhilarating journey with a cooldown session at KulKul Beach House at The Laguna, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Nusa Dua, Bali.

Expect a stellar lineup of local and international DJs, headlined by Indonesia’s very own Dipha Barus. Alongside them, world-class mixologists from renowned bars will be shaking up the night.
