With
Sundown Festival 2012 pulling all the stops to bring in leading acts from
China, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan, the
F1 Pit Building at Marina Promenade is proving to be the place to be, rain or
shine, on December 1, 2012.
Sundown Festival 2012 features buzzed-about newcomers
and some of the region's hottest solo and group acts including Jeno Liu Li Yang from China; Raymond Lam from Hong Kong; BTOB from Korea; Anthony Neely from Taiwan and Alice
Nine from Japan.
2012 marks the fourth anniversary for the homegrown Festival, which has
emerged to become the definitive all-Asian music and cultural experience of the
year. Sundown Festival 2012 is executive produced by Red Spade
Entertainment, and is supported by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) and
presenting co-sponsor SingTel, Asia’s leading communications group, for the second
consecutive year. Global wireless innovation leader, BlackBerry, is this year’s
newest sponsor to come onboard.
“Asian Music for a Greater
Asia”
"It was necessary to continue this tradition every year; it is our
promise to our fans and supporters. Anyone who is interested in Asian music and
proud of the immense talents the region has to offer should take a look at what
is going to go down at Sundown Festival this December 1," said Samantha
Chan, Director, Red Spade Entertainment.
"Sundown Festival has a legacy of highlighting the diversity of the
Asian music culture. At the same time, with fans from all walks of life and
nationalities banding together to show support for their favorite Asian acts,
it illustrates the boundless power music has to unite people and unify
differences," said Ellena Liu, Associate Director, Segment Marketing &
Communications, Consumer Marketing, SingTel.
Artistes’ line-up overview
This year’s Festival is being headlined by visual kei group Alice Nine, whose most recent releases included
self-titled album “9” and compilation of music videos entitled ‘Alice in
Pictures III’. Riding on the recent surge in popularity and demand for their
brand of glam-metal rock and “visual style” of music outside of
Nine’s highly-anticipated appearance at Sundown Festival 2012 promises to be an
evening of head-bopping entertainment.
Fans
of Korean pop won’t want to miss Born to Beat, or BTOB, a seven-man group
recently unveiled by Cube Entertainment (the same artiste management that
produces talents the likes of 4Minute and G.Na). This Korean band is already
reining in fans for its fancy footwork and masked mystique.
To
complement this amazing line-up of musical entertainment, Sundown Festival will
also welcome the Singapore debut of Jeno Liu Liyang, a Guangzhou native whose
first shot to fame came when she won Super
Girls, a popular singing contest in China, in 2006. With Liu’s soulful
vocal, the charm of TVB series singer-actor, Raymond Lam and charismatic Taiwan
Mandopop prince Anthony Neely all coming together on one stage, Sundown
Festival is set to be a massive hit with those seeking quality Asian music and
entertainment.
