Electronic / Other Garden Beats Festival is a music, arts and nature
festival in Singapore, curating an experiential festival built on
community that brings together those with a passion for music and the
arts. Garden Beats is committed to sustainability, becoming the first
carbon neutral music festival in Singapore in 2018, and aiming to
become a zero-plastic festival in the coming years. And this theme of
sustainable living is explored through talks and workshops during the
festival, giving festival-goers a chance to ponder the future of our
world and the impact that we all have on it. FOALS Even before
they’d released their debut album Antidotes back in 2008, the
industry buzz surrounding Foals was palpable. That hype was duly
warranted in hindsight, considering they’ve steadily risen to become
one of Britain’s most beloved contemporary bands. Merged from the
ashes of several local bands, all-but-one of the Oxford-based quintet
quit university to pursue their music careers. It wasn’t long before
they’d captured the attention of fans, critics, and industry
aficionados alike with early tracks ‘Mathletics’, ‘Cassius’
and ‘Hummer’, ushering in a new wave of math-rock tinged indie
artists. A Mercury Prize Award nomination for sophomore album Total
Life Forever followed, but it wasn’t until 2013’s Holy Fire where
Yannis Phillipakis and co garnered genuine mainstream success;
coveting headline slots at Latitude and Bestival off the back of the
subsequent tour, Foals became a live force to be reckoned with.
Channelling the snarling raw live energy of riff-laden tracks like
‘Inhaler’ and with one eye on stadium success, their next effort
What Went Down won the band their first BRIT Award nomination for Best
Live Band in 2016. Reading and Leeds Festivals came calling, seeing
Foals headline that same year. After a brief hiatus, the Oxford band
returned in 2019 with a double album lead by groove-heavy ‘Exits’,
with headline slots at Boardmasters, Y Not Festival, Truck Festival,
and INmusic Festival waiting in the wings. GIOLÌ & ASSIA Giolì &
Assia are an Italian duo of producers, multi-instrumentalists,
singers, songwriters, record label owners, and DJs, creating music
that blends the styles of electro, dance, indie, and pop that is
