For a weekend to remember, add this to your calendar. On Oct 28 and 29, 3pm to 10.30pm, Singapore will host this year’s AXEAN Festival, an acclaimed annual regional music festival at Goodman Arts Centre.
AXEAN Festival will feature 40 renowned and emerging acts from more than 10 Southeast Asian countries such as Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam, as well as a guest appearance by Sūn Jùn, a young emerging French musician, composer and producer.
See three exciting Taiwanese acts presented by the Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA) – NIO, Robot Swing + LEO37 + Star Wu, and Cicada. Also performing are Malaysia’s cultural icons Masdo and Zamaera, renowned lyrical storyteller Taba Chake from India, and feel-good alt-rock band Helsinki Lambda Club from Japan.
To foster a sense of community and collaboration, the festival is partnering with Beer Village to feature a variety of craft beer and food. Among the beer vendors are Lion Brewery Co and Brewlander from Singapore, as well as Burbrit Brewery (Myanmar), Paperkite (Malaysia), Kultural (Indonesia), and Samata Brewing (Thailand).
The food vendors include Meatsmith SG, The Oyster Cart, and Blue Smoke. Get your tickets for the Beer Village @ AXEAN Festival 2023 here. You enjoy two beers and 20 percent off all F&B purchases.
To give festivalgoers a fully immersive experience, there will also be an arts showcase For Art’s Sake 2023 presented by GOFY. These curated works by urban artists capture the spirit of the region’s youth and reflect the pulse of our time. The digital and Giclée fine art prints can be purchased via a QR code on each artwork’s label.
To be as accessible to as many music lovers as possible, the AXEAN Festival now operates on a “pay-cos-you-want” system with a 250 percent tax deduction for donations over $100 through its charity partner Foundation Music.
Besides elevating the best music in the ASEAN region, the donations will allow the independent festival to accelerate artists’ careers and launch them globally. Get your tickets here.
