Singapore – 18 November 2025: Defender returns as the Official Automotive Partner of Wonderfruit 2025, Thailand’s leading celebration of art, music, culture and sustainability. This year’s 10th anniversary marks Defender’s third consecutive year as a partner with the festival, highlighted through the Forest Stage presented with Defender – an experience that unites curious minds and adventurous souls, tucked in the Ancestral Forest.

Held from 11 to 15 December at The Fields at Siam Country Club, Chonburi, Wonderfruit brings together a global community of more than 25,000 festivalgoers for a celebration of creativity and consciousness. Defender inspires exploration that embraces the unexpected, making Wonderfruit – a festival celebrating mind, nature and sound – a natural fit. A vibrant convergence of music, culture and adventure, it draws those in pursuit of unforgettable experiences, an ethos that has defined Defender for generations.

A Celebration of Adventure and Sound

At the heart of the festival, Defender will transform the Forest Stage within the Ancestral Forest, a living ecosystem that expresses Defender’s brand vision of championing adventures and epic experiences through forward-thinking and purpose-filled artist curation, stage design and production.

Designed by festival architect and lighting designer Jiro Endo, the Forest Stage is constructed using tree trunks from the fields and topped with a thatched roof made of tong tung leaves from northern Thailand. Every detail pays homage to the landscape, balancing craftsmanship with the natural rhythm of the forest.

Curated for the bold and curious, the stage will feature intimate performances from artists who honour their heritage, challenge conventions and foster collective connection – a reflection of Defender’s belief in purposeful adventure. Beyond the stage, festivalgoers can connect with the brand in the Defender lounge space tucked away in the Ancestral Forest.

Driving Sustainability Forward

Defender will once again deploy its fleet of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) to transport artists and festival personnel across Wonderfruit. These vehicles demonstrate Defender’s commitment to sustainable innovation and modern luxury, demonstrating how purposeful design and responsible mobility can coexist.

Mark Cameron, Managing Director, Defender, said: “Defender’s partnership with Wonderfruit for the third year running is a testament to our brand vision of supporting festivals that celebrate exceptional experiences all in the spirit of ‘embracing the impossible’. As we return for the festival’s 10th anniversary, we’re proud to power meaningful cultural and music experiences that showcase sustainable modern luxury, purposeful design and eco-conscious mobility, while inspiring adventurers across Asia to embrace challenges, explore boldly and connect deeply with the world around them.”
