Thanks to Neon Lights, we have an all-new music festival with a spectrum-defying payload of acts. Fans of everyone from shoegaze gawds Ride to minimal techno stalwart The Field will be pleased. But before you head over, jam out to these cuts from some of the stars on the roster.
CHIC feat. Nile Rodgers – Le Freak
Yes, Nile Rodgers and CHIC will be taking the stage. Disco will always be a recipe for a good time.
Mercury Rev – Opus 40
Alt-rock legends, anyone?
Julia Holter – Feel You
Besides being a musicologist's dream come true, Julia Holter's breathy, ethereal music is also a gift to our ears.
Ride – Vapour Trail
If you're like us, you've been wanting to see this band play this song live for about a decade, now.
Daughter – Youth
Having won over many at their Laneway 2014 stint here, these English indie folksters will undoubtedly bring their darkly melodic best yet again.
Flight Facilities – Crave You
These Aussie dance-pop sensations more than know their way around an infectious hook – be prepared to move.
Damien Rice – The Blower's Daughter
#Emo alert. That's all we'll say.
The Field – Looping State of Mind
Getting lost in Axel Willner's immersive and majestically gorgeous sounds comes naturally to most of us. He's one of the reasons why we can't wait for this.
Blackalicious – Alphabet Aerobics
Never thought you'd have these tongue-twsiting-rhyme-spitting, classic-beat-dropping masters on our shores? Neither did we.
Hanging Up the Moon – The Divers
Local more-than-singer-songwriter Sean Lam's musical ideas have always possessed a starlit glow. It's a great testament to Neon Lights' bill that he's on it.
Neon Lights is from Nov 28-29 at Fort Canning Green.
