Peace Centre is on its way to being demolished and there's no better way to send it off than with a mega party. Organised by Bring the Roof Down, an initiative dedicated to reviving iconic spaces in Singapore, the PeaceOut Festival promises an explosion of music, art, and culture.
It's a fitting last hurrah for the beloved stalwart on 1 Sophia Road. This pioneer mall started as a hub for tuition centres, printing shops, tailors, and more. Over the years, Peace Centre has gained a reputation as a dingy (even seedy) mall, fading into the background as newer and shinier malls sprouted up. But in its dying days, Peace Centre has become a playground for vintage shops, thrift stores, and grassroots movements like PlayPan, which has turned the abandoned mall into a place of creative expression.
PeaceOut Festival embodies this spirit with a diverse line-up of music, performances, and a festival flea market. 16 DJs will fill the corridors with electrifying beats – think techno, house, afrobeat, desi music, and more. A sneak peek of the line-up: DJ Nadd, Ollie'des, Prodigi (Australia), and Demi Riquísimo (UK). The LGBTQIA+ community also gets their time in the spotlight, represented by renowned queens Angele Anang and Zepee from the House of Heals Bangkok, with more vibrant experiences by Unleash in store.
