Top 8 Music Festivals in Singapore To Experience Before You Die

Music Festivals, Singapore, South-East Asia

When it comes to music festivals in Singapore, there aren’t as many as you’d hope!  When I started writing this post, I was hoping to find at least 20-30 different epic music festivals, but unfortunately that’s not the case.  I remember a few years ago when Future Music Festival Asia was supposed to happen in Singapore, but was unfortunately cancelled because the government refused their license.  Maybe it’s harder for organizers to get permission and find suitable venues, but it’s just as popular of a country for music festivals.  Don’t agree with me?  Please, send me some more festivals so I can update my list!

But anyways, there really are some quality festivals in Singapore!  I haven’t gotten the chance to attend any of these myself yet, but I’m definitely going to be trying to check out a few in the coming years!  I’ve heard that ZoukOut is one of the best festivals in South-East Asia, so I know I’ll be hitting that up if I’m back in Asia later this year.

Check out my list of the top music festivals in Singapore!





1 )  Zouk Out

ZoukOut has built a name synonymous with quality, the best International artists with a diversity of sounds from Electro to Trance to Techno to House, and top notch carnival fun.”
