This week is absolutely jam-packed with A-grade events making it a very tough one to call. It’s not often we see a week filled with such major events (four festivals no less!), and it’s left us all a-tizzy! With two music festivals, a food festival, a light art festival plus a global award winning photography exhibition if you don’t go and do at least one of these things this week….shame on your name!
1. Rock on!!! at Singapore Rock Festival
If you’re somewhat of a metalhead (or ex-metalhead for that matter), you’re without doubt a hard rock fan and will be clambering to cram your ears full of hard rock sounds at Southeast Asia’s rock music event of the year. Korn, Rob Zombie, Black Veil Brides and Five Finger Death Punch will be taking over Fort Canning on the first day followed by Alice in Chains and Alter Bridge on the next. ROCK ON DUDES!!!!
