GastroBeats, the highly anticipated annual food and music festival in Singapore, returns for its fourth edition in 2025. This year’s festival village is once again located at the pet-friendly Bayfront Event Space, and will be running from May 29 to June 22, 2025.
This year’s festival sees a collaboration with Jelilo, a character designed by Singaporean creative Lester Lim. Three adorable life-sized characters – Captain Skull, One Eye, and Scarface – will be roaming the festival grounds, so get ready for photo ops and other fun, unexpected shenanigans that are sure to entertain the young ones.
Music enthusiasts can also pop by a brand new music experience Rewind. Replay. Remix: SG Edition ($19.90 per person). The 30-to-45-minute experience will take you through immersive zones spotlighting three generations of music in Singapore: Retro Revival, Electric Disco, and Digital Pulse. Each ticket entitles you to a complimentary drink from a selected menu at Barrr.
Some new food vendors will be joining the festival line-up this year. They include Warabimochi Kamakura which went viral last year for its dessert drinks studded with chewy warabimochi bits; Tomo Express – a new collaboration by popular Tomo Café and Hao Kang Kai; and excitingly, mother-and-son duo Aunty Siam and Weiheng, who are serving traditional Hakka fare and their classic Nam Yu fried pork belly this year.
This year’s performance setlist sees plenty of local talents like soulful Singaporean singer-songwriter-producer Murphy; Jean Kai & The Way out; pop-rock and punk band TheAfterParty; Sarah Syazlina & Band; GastroBeats newbie Alwine & Co.; and many more taking the stage.
