Downpours can’t dampen the spirits at seventh Laneway Singapore
Crowd treated to the cream of Singapore’s indie music scene plus many acts from Laneway’s Australian homeland, demonstrating why this is one of the best up-and-coming festivals in the region
The seventh edition of Singapore’s Laneway Festival took place on Saturday under a leaden sky and amid regular downpours, but still managed to show why it is considered one of the best up-and-coming festivals in Asia.
There was a sense of déjà vu for many Hongkongers who travelled for the Lion City’s biggest annual celebration of indie music, as they had braved similarly damp conditions during the Clockenflap festival last November.
But those who braved the rain were treated to performances by the cream of Singapore’s independent music scene – most notably the dreamy, noisy Astreal – and a line-up heavy with acts from the festival’s home country of Australia.
