RICO BLANCO and ROCKSTEDDY WILL ROCK SUNDOWN FESTIVAL 2013
On November 16,
2013 in Singapore at the F1 Pit Building at Marina Promenade The
much-anticipated talent lineup for the fifth annual Sundown Festival is an
unrivaled gathering of 10 consisting of established headliners and
up-and-coming acts from eight Asian countries—Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, China,
Taiwan, Indonesia, Thailand and The Philippines including Screw, D=OUT, AOA,
Bosco Wong, Shao Yu Han, Yoga Lin, Nidji, No More Tear, Rock Steddy and Rico
Blanco.
Drawing fans from all across Southeast Asia, Sundown Festival turns
Marina Promenade into an Asian music and cultural central for an eight-hour
long celebration— completed by an Asian street food village supported by
leading food portal in Singapore, Hungrygowhere.com—establishing itself as a
must-see event.
2013’s edition of the festival sees the
addition of three Southeast Asian nations to the musical melee: Indonesia,
Thailand and two very popular acts from the Philippines. Known for their ‘rockability’
and mastery in alternative music, it is no wonder the likes of Nidji, No More
Tear, Rock Steddy and Rico Blanco are fronting these tri-nation sensations.
Continuing on the ride on the surge in popularity and demand for Japanese
glam-metal rock are visual kei bands Screw and D=OUT (pronounced as ‘doubt’).

K-pop fanatics can expect some eye candy and
sugar rush in the form of Ace of Angels (AOA) a truly unique versatile music
group that interchange between a five-member female band and a seven-member
idol group. All eight members from AOA will be making their full appearance at
the festival to lend their full support at Sundown Festival 2013.Finally, this
year’s line-up of musical entertainment will not be given justice without the
vocal prowess of Adonia Shao Yu Han from the People’s Republic of China and an
injection of familiar names the likes of Mandopop Taiwanese boy wonder Yoga Lin
and Cantopop and TVB star Bosco Wong.
For two years now,
Sundown Festival has been strongly championed by the Singapore Tourism Board
(STB) due to its unique entertainment concept that aims to showcase the best
mix of Asia’s talent and diversity in music genre, musicians and cultural
identity. Festival goers can look forward not only to eight hours of non-stop
entertainment but also bona fide street food sourced from all the eight Asian
countries and fringe cultural performances such as “the barong” (storytelling
dance form) from Indonesia, Tinikling B-boys (a mix of traditional pre-Spanish
tap dancing with bamboo poles and breakdancing) from the Philippines and muay
thai exhibition from Thailand.For artistes images go to http://www.flickr.com/photos/pprsg/sets/72157635153433020
