The most recent staging of the JBL Sound Fest was in 2019 headlined by IV of Spades, December Avenue, Gloc-9, I Belong to the Zoo, and Shanti Dope.

Three new speakers were also unveiled, varying in size and mobility depending on the users' preferences and where they wish to bring their sound systems. All products are mostly water-and dust-resistant with extended battery lives.
