The S2O Songkran Thailand Music Festival will be held for the first time in Hong Kong this summer. From August 5-6, the Central Harbourfront event space will be filled with music, water and high-energy shows.
Tagged as the “wettest party in the world”, partygoers can expect to be attended by world-renowned DJs and artists! Stunning visual effects and 360 degrees of splashing water round out the experience for two days of fun.
S2O Hong Kong Songkran Music Festival: What you need to know
Songkran is Thailand’s annual New Year celebration and one of its most important festivals. People celebrate by smearing white powder and splashing water on each other as a way of removing bad luck as they ring in the new year.
Every year in Hong Kong, the Songkran Festival takes place in April. But this is the first time that Thailand’s own Songkran Music Festival has been held in the city. The anticipation is high as the festival makes its debut, with advance tickets already sold out!
The S20 Songkran Music Festival was first held in Bangkok in 2015 and has since spread to other cities including Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. It features phenomenal outdoor stage production and 360-degree water jet capabilities, leaving attendees drenched in water, music, lights and visual effects, all while enjoying the beat of DJs and musicians.
The exciting lineup of the S2O Songkran Music Festival 2023 in Hong Kong includes a diverse and exciting range of EDM, dance and pop. Northern Ireland’s best-selling DJ Ben Nicky, American sister duo Krewella, DK Liu from Brazil and electronic house music producer MAKJ will be in attendance. Meanwhile, American DJ NGHTMRe headlines the first day, while record producer Nicky Romero joins for the first time. More artists will join the lineup, so stay tuned.
There will be a second stage featuring local artists, with a non-wet area for people to relax and enjoy the tunes while recovering from the main splash zone.
