What to expect at Singapore's first board sports and music festival

The inaugural Trifecta Music Festival, Singapore's first board sports and music festival, will be held from Nov 18-19, 2023 along Orchard Road.

Featuring 24 top music artists and DJs from Singapore as well as four stunning headline acts, this two-day affair is organised by its namesake Trifecta (Asia's first snow, surf, and skate lifestyle destination), which opens in Somerset on Oct 28.

Headline acts

Ruel (Australia)

This five-time Platinum record artist is one of the fastest-rising stars who has shared stages with Khalid and Shawn Mendes.

With over two billion global streams and three sold-out world tours, he is the youngest Breakthrough Artist at the ARIA Awards, selling out the Sydney Opera House twice.

Phum Viphurit (Thailand)

This Thai singer-songwriter is best known for his international hit singles, Lover Boy and Long Gone, as well as his sold-out headline shows and premier billings at music festivals in Asia, Europe, and the United States.

Over the last year, he gained a record-breaking 44.6 million streams on Spotify across 173 countries.

Fazerdaze (New Zealand)

Singer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Fazerdaze joins the lineup with her gauzy melodies and dream pop landscapes.

Following her critically acclaimed full-length album Morningside in 2017, you can expect '90s-infused fuzzy guitars and lyrical moments of clarity from the artist, who went through a journey of self-discovery and found creative release through her music.

Lola Amour (Philippines)

With over 5.2 million monthly listeners on Spotify, Lola Amour is one of the largest award-winning Pop, Funk and Rock bands in the Philippines today.

Their hit single Fallen has over 80 million streams and charted #9 on the Spotify Top 200 charts, while their latest single Raining in Manila holds the Spotify all-time record for the most streamed Filipino song in a single day.

Singapore got talent

Aside from the four international headliners, the festival also boasts a line-up of 24 local music artists and DJs. Some acts to look forward to include:
