AXEAN Festival 2023 will celebrate the best Southeast Asian food, music, and craft beer

The renowned yearly regional music festival AXEAN Festival will be held in Singapore on October 28 and 29 this year. The festival is teaming up with a huge variety of craft beer, food, and art vendors from Southeast Asia to give festival-goers a fully immersive experience and foster a spirit of community and collaboration. Live music performances will be given by well-known and up-and-coming acts from 10 different countries throughout Southeast Asia and the rest of the world. Tickets are available here!

The festival’s emphasis on Asia’s indelible food culture is heightened in this year’s edition, which features innovative dishes inspired by regional flavors and a carefully selected Beer Village with a wide selection of alcoholic beverages.

This iteration’s performers include �� Malaysia’s cultural icons Masdo and Zamaera, renowned lyrical storyteller Taba Chake from �� India, feel-good alt-rock band Helsinki Lambda Club from �� Japan, and many more.

The festival is now operating on a pay-cos-you-want system with a 250% tax-deduction for donations over SGD 100 through its charity partner FOUNDATION MUSIC, in the hopes of making the festival accessible to as many people as possible. Donations from the public allow the independent festival to continue its annual efforts to elevate the best music in the ASEAN region, accelerating the artists’ careers and launching them on a global stage.
