The Esplanade Theatre stage will feature some of the most iconic Singapore bands who have performed in past editions. At a time when the previously vibrant underground music scene has suffered from the closure of many iconic venues, the Annexe Studio will be used for collaborative presentations with indie organisers, labels and presenters. As with past editions, Baybeats continues to cast a spotlight on younger bands making a name for themselves, through livestreamed performances. We have also commissioned a four-part episodic video series that explores four universal themes that are triggered by emotions experienced through the music of Baybeats: A movement, a voice, a person, a culture. We thank our Media Partner TikTok Singapore and Supporters Black Beard Audio / Black Beard Productions and Not Safe for TV (NSFTV) for being a part of this year’s edition.
