The local rave

For those festival go-ers out there fret not! Although Singapore might not have famous festivals like Tomorrowland or Coachella, we do have our own brand of music festivals that are not to be missed. Nothing quite beats going to a music festival in an overseas country. Read on to check out some of the upcoming Singapore music festivals that you can attend during Fall 18′!

Everyone living/who has lived in Singapore will know that Zouk is basically synonymous with ‘party’. Being the icon for nightlife in Singapore, Zouk also throws the biggest beach party, ZoukOut, every December at Sentosa.  Many claim that Zouk Out is the quintessential Singaporean party experience – with 12 hours from sunset to sunrise of non-stop raving, few survive to tell the tale. There are tons of guides on “how to survive ZoukOut” online, so make sure you check them out.

DJs like Afrojack, DJ Snake and Flume have graced the stage at this event in the past, and you can expect bigger names to rock the stage with each passing year. For more details, click here.

Plan wisely!

I guess exploring South East Asia would be pretty high up in your list of priorities when you’re in Singapore for exchange, but don’t miss out on all the amazing festivals Singapore has to offer! These festivals only occur once a year, so plan and budget wisely to maximize your time and money during exchange.
