DUBAI, 3 November 2006 — Dance music fans living in the Middle East are invited to Singapore’s largest dance festival on the idyllic beaches of Sentosa Island.
In its sixth year, the 12-hour ZoukOut festival, which runs from dusk until dawn, is expected to attract more than 20,000 people to dance the night away to the latest club anthems being played by some of the world’s best DJ’s.
Of the 18,000 revelers at last year’s event, more than a-third of the partygoers were foreigners, and the same is expected this year, with many traveling especially to Singapore from across Asia and Europe and some even venturing from as far as the US to participate in the annual festival.
“Those intent on dancing all night and enjoying a fantastic array of world music with a large mix of nationalities and cultures while in Singapore certainly won’t be disappointed,” said Ke-Wei Peh, area director for the Middle East and Africa, Singapore Tourism Board.
This year’s lineup, which includes Steve Lawler, Jazzy Jeff and DJ Pippi, is unprecedented in its diversity with DJ’s playing a multitude of genres of music including, house, trance, electro, progressive, alternative, indie and hip hop all playing under ZoukOut’s motto of “One World One Music One Tribe One Dance.”
For fans of live music, some of Singapore’s best bands will be appearing on the Live Stage along with popular pop and punk acts.
