Although it is the most convenient place for the VLX, the number of rooms is limited. There are other beautiful options in the area if you prefer another resort or if the hotel is full, there is no obligation to stay at our event venue. ​

The VLX Live BandS

Bonahop

 This year we're absolutely thrilled to bring you all the way from Malaysia, the beloved Swing Band BonaHop!!!!

Here's a short description:
"BonaHop, a 6 piece swing dance band, hailing from Borneo, began as a versatile Malaysian duo exploring a range of musical genres before discovering their mutual passion for Swing Jazz. The group consists of Yvonne Chong , a vocalist and voice-over artist and Grace Leong, a music director and pianist. They made their debut at the Publika Jazz Festival in 2017 and have since performed at notable events, including the Tropic Thunder Swing Jazz Festival, KL Swing’s 15th anniversary celebration, and recently the Royal Selangor Jazz Festival 2024. BonaHop has now expanded their lineup with Icco Elnoel on bass, Adriel Wong on drums, Farid and Max on horns. Their dream is to perform on a distant planet where exquisite cuisine and lively 1940s-style parties accompany timeless tunes from legends like Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, and Count Basie."

And they're much more than that. You'll see...

YUSU JAZZ BAND

 And coming from Thailand, we're delighted to offer you YUSU JAZZ BAND!!!

Here's a short description:
"Founded in 2023, Yusu Jazz Band is Thailand’s premier group for Lindy Hoppers and swing dance fans. Specializing in New Orleans jazz and swing styles, they bring the energy and spirit of jazz’s golden era to every performance. As the house band of Jelly Roll Jazz Club, they deliver authentic sounds that captivate dancers and listeners alike. Yusu Jazz Band has also headlined major dance events like Breezy Balboa and Swing Era, earning a reputation as a favorite in the swing dance community. Their passion for jazz ensures every performance is a celebration of rhythm, melody, and joy."
