Yesterday, I had the honour to attend the 2013 Spring Wave Singapore Music Festival (2013 春浪音乐节) Press Conference. Spring Wave is annual event that has been held at the southern part of Taiwan, Kenting for the past 7 years. Each year the event attracted no less than 20000 concert goers with performances by the biggest names in the Mandopop industry, including Mayday (五月天), Eason Chen (陳奕迅) and our homegrown singer - JJ Lin (林俊杰).
2013 Spring Wave Singapore Music Festival will be held on 4 May 2013 at The Meadow @ Gardens By The Bay.
Created by Friendly Dog Entertainment in honour of the celebration of peace, love and music during spring time, the spring Wave Music Festival steps out of Taiwan for the first time and have chosen Singapore to be the first overseas stop.
"We are excited to bring one of the most anticipated outdoor music festivals in Taiwan to Singapore for the very first time. This would not have been possible without the support of our presented, Tiger Beer. Besides performances by renowned Taiwan artistes, our audience at Tiger Beer presents Spring Wave Singapore 2013 will also have the chance to party with leading DJs late into the night." --- Mr Shen Guang Yuan, Chairman of Friendly Dog Entertainment Pte Ltd.
The festival will kick-off with the Mandopop segment from 3pm to 10pm. The second segment of the festival will see The Meadow @ Gardens by the Bay transformed into a massive outdoor party venue for an Electronic Dance Music Segment known as Spring Wave Dance. From 11pm to 4am, widely-travelled and legendary German DJs ATB and Markus Schulz as well as established trance musician Jochen Miller from Holland will hit the decks to fuel the party with electronic bliss.  |

For the Singapore stop, we will have Indie queen Cheer Chen (陈绮贞) , rocker Wu Bai (伍佰), popster Jam Hsiao (萧敬腾), smoky-voiced Joanna Wang (王若琳), pop-rocker Zhang Zhen Yue/A-Yue (张震岳) and homegrown songbird Olivia Ong (王俪婷).
And for the press conference, Zhang Zhen Yue/A-Yue (张震岳) and Joanna Wang (王若琳) made an appearance to share some fun facts and get "bombed" by the media. Watch the videos for the whole interview.
The unique element that differentiates Spring Wave from other outdoor concert is... Every artist gets to perform one full hour with their own band flown in from Taiwan. In another words, you only need to pay for one ticket to get access to 7 hours of LIVE mini concerts! That’s definitely a steal!
So come on down to Gardens by the Bay on 4th May for more screams!!!
- Free-standing tickets to Spring Wave Singapore 2013 price at S$158 and S$98.
- Spring Wave Dance tickets price at S$88.
