SINGAPORE – Superstar DJs Martin Garrix and Alesso will return to Singapore to headline the 20th edition of ZoukOut, Asia’s longest-running dance music festival.

The two-day event will take place at Siloso Beach, Sentosa, on Dec 2 and 3.

Dutch DJ Garrix, ranked No. 1 on DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs 2022 list, will be performing on Dec 3, while Alesso, who is Swedish, will headline the festival on Dec 2.

Both have performed several times in Singapore.

Garrix’s past shows here include the 2014 and 2016 editions of ZoukOut and he performed at nightclub Marquee in late 2022.

Alesso played at ZoukOut 2013 and did a set at Marquee in May.

The festival will also feature Japanese-Australian singer Joji, whose song, Glimpse Of Us, was one of Spotify’s top tracks among Singaporean listeners in 2022.

The ZoukOut set on Dec 2 is part of his Pandemonium World Tour 2023.

Other electronic dance music acts in the line-up include Australian DJ Fisher and American DJ Acraze on Dec 2, as well as American DJ Illenium and Hong Kong-born, Shanghai-based Carta on Dec 3.

ZoukOut returned to Sentosa in 2022 after a three-year break, and drew 30,000 people over two days.

The line-up that year included Dutch DJ Tiesto and Singaporean acts such as Wukong.
