Asia’s definitive music and arts festival, Skechers Sundown Festival, is back in Singapore for its 10th edition — and the event’s biggest to date.
Organised by Red Spade Entertainment and presented by Skechers, the festival brings to our island an exhilarating line-up of music performances and art installations. Evolved into a larger-than-life 3D2N party, Skechers Sundown Festival has musically united 11 countries from around the region since 2014 to generate hype amongst festivalgoers, and bridge the diversity of Asian countries. This year’s lineup is a full-blown participation from the countries across music, arts, culture and food. Catch award-winning design architects, films and musicians representing China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, Taiwan and Vietnam.
A WONDERLAND LIKE NO OTHER
Skechers Sundown Festival’s tagline, “Asia Music Wonderland”, aims to unite people with curious and imaginative spirits. Designed for anyone with a love for Asian music and its diverse entertainment scene, the festival is programmed to celebrate all things Asian, and promote its values and spirit during the 3D2N event — through music, food, art, and culture.
With more than 50 Asian artists at the NC-16 festival, and fronted by veteran music artists, the stages are set to be lit. Look forward to the heavy metal prowess of Crossfaith (Japan) and DJ Laidback Luke (Philippines), hip-hop tunes from MFBTY (South Korea) and Higher Brothers (China), and the melodic crooning from Charlie Lim (Singapore). Other performers include DJ KoFlow (Singapore), DJ Shogun (Taiwan), Henry Fong (China), and many more artists listed on www.sundownfestival.sg. (Third wave of line-up will be announced soon with a mega Kpop group.)
GOING BEYOND MUSIC
Expect larger than life art installations of the wonderland theme that drives home the message of our environmental crisis in Asia curated by Borneo Laboratory, led by Wendy Teo. On the Saturday of Skechers Sundown Festival, film buffs can also enjoy two award-winning films by Anticipate Pictures — Japanese drama-comedy which won 2nd prize in the Cinéfondation at the Cannes Film Festival, Oh Lucy!, featuring Josh Hartnett, and Chinese animated dark comedy film which won the Best Animation at the Golden Horse Award, Have A Nice Day.
To cap off the festival vibes, there will be 50 spaces allocated to Freedom Camp, where enthusiasts can pitch their own tent for the duration of the festival. Alternatively, enjoy a lap of luxury at Campville, a dedicated 3D2N full-board glamping experience. The plush bell tents will be furnished with four single beds, fresh linen and towels, and accommodate up to four people per tent. Each tent will also come with a carton of beer and two bottles of champagne for the perfect evening unwind. Limited to 50 luxury tents only.
