Baybeats


Presented by Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, Baybeats has been at the heart of Singapore’s alternative music scene for over two decades.

 

It has served as an anchor for the independent music community, a launchpad for artists taking their first steps onto bigger stages in Singapore, the region and beyond, and an annual gathering for music lovers to enjoy and discover music from Singapore, the region and further afield.

More than a festival, Baybeats is where the music community gathers every year. It is a space for discovery, where emerging acts share the stage with acclaimed international artists, where new collaborations are born, and where audiences experience the energy and diversity of alternative music in all its forms.

Built on a spirit of openness, experimentation and artistic freedom, Baybeats continues to nurture new talent, champion bold creative voices across the independent music community. Whether you’re discovering your next favourite band or witnessing tomorrow’s headliners before everyone else, Baybeats is where the future of alternative music takes the stage.
