GastroBeats 2025 returns on May 29 with free general entry, street food, and live music performances
GastroBeats, the highly anticipated annual food and music festival in Singapore, returns for its fourth edition in 2025. This year's festival village is once again located at the pet-friendly Bayfront Event Space, and will be running from May 29 to June 22, 2025. That's more than three weeks of free live music performances, carnival games, fun themed zones to explore, and plenty of street food by local vendors, including popular brands like Warabimochi Kamakura, Papi's Tacos, and others. Here's all you need to know about the festival at a glance. What is GastroBeats? GastroBeats started in 2022 to showcase the vibrancy of Singapore's culture – its food, musical talents, and more. The festival runs concurrently with i Light Singapore 2025, an annual art event where installations by various artists will illuminate the bay area. You can easily tick off both activities in one evening. Start with a stroll around the Singapore River to check out the artworks, then stop by GastroBeats at Marina Bay for some grub and music to round off the night. General admission is free. What's new at GastroBeats 2025? This year's festival sees a collaboration with Jelilo, a character designed by Singaporean creative Lester Lim. Three adorable life-sized characters – Captain Skull, One Eye, and Scarface – will be roaming the festival grounds, so get ready for photo ops and other fun, unexpected shenanigans that are sure to entertain the young ones. Music enthusiasts can also pop by a brand new music experience Rewind. Replay. Remix: SG Edition ($19.90 per person). The 30-to-45-minute experience will take you through immersive zones spotlighting three generations of music in Singapore: Retro Revival, Electric Disco, and Digital Pulse. Each ticket entitles you to a complimentary drink from a selected menu at Barrr. What food offerings are there at GastroBeats 2025? Some new food vendors will be joining the festival line-up this year. They include Warabimochi Kamakura which went viral last year for its dessert drinks studded with chewy warabimochi bits; Tomo Express – a new collaboration by popular Tomo Café and Hao Kang Kai; and excitingly, mother-and-son duo Aunty Siam and Weiheng, who are serving traditional Hakka fare and their classic Nam Yu fried pork belly this year. Quench your thirst at the Iichiko Club booth near the GastroBeats main stage. This year, Makoto-Ya is collaborating with five local F&B brands to shake up cocktails infused with Iichiko shochu, from sour plum highballs to Iichiko negronis. Catch five guest shifts on select weekends, including familiar names like Neon Pigeon and FLNT by 1-Atico. Plenty of other new food vendors are also set to join this year's line-up, and you can keep a lookout for them on GastroBeats' Instagram page. Other than that, the festival will also welcome back popular vendors like Sohtt – known for its sushi tacos and mochi croiffles; Nosh Bistro – food-truck-turned-bistro serving fish and chips; and Chris Pork – famous for its extra-crunchy pork belly. Who is performing at GastroBeats 2025? This year's performance setlist sees plenty of local talents like soulful Singaporean singer-songwriter-producer Murphy; Jean Kai & The Way out; pop-rock and punk band TheAfterParty; Sarah Syazlina & Band; GastroBeats newbie Alwine & Co.; and many more taking the stage.
