Hidden Agenda

Hidden Agenda started out in 2009 when a couple of post-80s music lovers came up with the idea of transforming a band practice room in an industrial building into a live house for indie music. It soon became a local band scene's hot spot, and a nice venue for foreign musicians on tour in Asia. Official regulations forced Hidden Agenda to move, but the new venue can hold more than 300, there's a bigger stage, and a better sound system has been installed. There is also a lounge for performers, a bars, and a place for street art products and indie label CDs called Hidden Shop. Every year Hidden Agenda stages more than 60 music shows for local and international artists, with diverse genre such as rock, heavy metal, jazz, folk, punk, post-rock, reggae, visual rock, hip-hop, experimental noise, and techno.
