ZOUKOUT MUSIC FESTIVAL @ SENTOSA

Many party-goers will be looking forward the weekend of 12 of Dec 2009. This is because.. The annual ZoukOut music festival is coming back for the ninth time!! Besides only partying for the whole night, there will be a fireworks display and new laser show to be revealed to all. The dusk-till dawn party at Siloso Beach drew a record 26,000 partygoers last year.

However, the organizers are expecting an increase in the number of people as the tickets are being being snapped up as early as October.

One ticket @ $58 is available at http://www.sistic.com.sg/.

In order to cater to the likes of its customers, ZoukOut boasts a stellar line-up of 60 local and foreign talents, such as Dutch trance music deejay Armin Van Buuren, french electro pop duo Miss Kittin & The Hacker and Brit dance music jock Richie Hawtin. To complement with the theme of beach, a "lighthouse"will be built on Siloso Beach. The tower signals lots of fun to be at ZoukOut 2009. The surprise doesn't just stop here! This year, Siloso's beach culture took on a whole new level of buzz when new venues such as Wave House and Azzura are opened. With all the highlights of ZoukOut 2009, Zouk has spent $200,000 on both the fireworks and laser shows, which increased the cost of the event to $2.1 million this year.

Although there are other beach party competitors, Zouk Out remains the most popular choice. Extracted from a short interview, some commented:" Even with so many beach parties, I am just going for ZoukOut, It has the largest line of performers and i have never missed it." However, for those who prefer a smaller group of people, they would want to visit the other two events, which is 'Asia Dancetination 2009' and 'Shack In and Shack Out'.
People come from all over the region for ZoukOut, which definitely increases our visitor arrivals figures. This music festival is definitely a boost in tourism for the economy.

The music festival held in mid-December annually is not one to be missed. If you are a hardcore partygoer and just love to dance and have fun, the music festival held at ZoukOut is the one for you. But of course, work hard and play hard, we should take good care of yourselves after a night drained of energy. If you have missed it this year, fear not, there will surely be a return of the music festival next year, definitely with more booomz effect!!
