Baybeats is an annual 3-day alternative music festival[1] organized by Esplanade, and held in Singapore. It showcases various local acts such as regional and international artists. The festival is located at Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay and is free.
History
Baybeats was thought up by John Chiong of local music company, Wake Me Up Music, in 2001 and launched in 2002.[2]
The inaugural festival in 2002 was attended by around 9,000 people.[2]
In 2006, Baybeats started auditions for bands to perform during the festival.[3]
In 2007, the festival started a mentorship programme, Baybeats Budding Bands, to let bands who passed the festival's auditions to be mentored by the local music scene.[4][5] After the mentorship, selected bands get to perform at the festival.[4] The 2007 festival was attended by 69,000 people.[2]
In 2008, Baybeats was solely organised by the Esplanade.[3] The festival also included five short films to be screened during the festival.[3]
In 2021, the festival was held over four days for the first time instead of three days.[6]
