Looking for the best music festivals in Singapore in 2024? 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!
However, after a few quiet years, it seems that the Singapore music festival scene is making a comeback in 2024! Here’s a sample of the best music festivals in Singapore.
1) Zouk Out
