Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show 2026

The collaboration between RIUH and the Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show (KLIMS 2026) represents a deliberate effort to pivot away from the rigid, conventional "motor show" format. Taking over a dedicated section of the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC), RIUH injects a lively lifestyle and cultural festival layer into the massive automotive expo.

The project is broken down into three major pillars:

1. The Creative Marketplace & Hobbyist Hub

RIUH acts as the creative curator for the event, setting up an expansive marketplace that operates alongside the vehicle pavilions.

• Homegrown Vendors: Visitors can explore a curated selection of local Malaysian brands, ranging from artisanal goods and unique merchandise to handmade crafts and local fashion.
• Hobbyist Hub: A specialized sub-zone tailored for passionate subcultures, featuring local collectors' marketplaces. It serves as a major gathering point for die-cast model car collectors, craft enthusiasts, and pop-culture hobbyists looking for rare finds.

2. Live Music & Creative Arts

To establish a high-energy festival atmosphere, RIUH curates a continuous lineup of live performances featuring prominent local contemporary music and arts talent:

• The Musical Lineup: Live sets from notable Malaysian alternative and independent acts, including Kyoto Protocol, FUGŌ, Adrian Danial, and TY:DEL.
• Performing Arts: Energetic, rhythmic showcases by the Voice of Percussion drumline and dynamic fusion dance sets choreographed by Siluman Production.

3. All-Inclusive Lifestyle Appeal

By integrating these lifestyle elements, the project bridges the gap between hard-core automotive purists and the general public. It transforms KLIMS 2026 into a multi-generational weekend destination where visitors who may not have a strict interest in vehicle specifications can still enjoy art, food, music, and local creative culture under one roof.
