Better Than Coachella? Why Everyone is Flying to Singapore This Saturday for Kygo’s Sold-Out Secret
If you’re looking for the ultimate tropical escape, the Palm Tree Music Festival is officially making its Singapore debut this Saturday, April 18, 2026.
Co-founded by Kygo, the festival is bringing its signature “elevated beach club” vibe to The Meadow at Gardens by the Bay. While Kygo won’t be performing at this specific stop, the lineup is a heavy-hitting mix of tech-house, progressive anthems, and trance.
The Full Lineup & Schedule
The festival kicks off in the early afternoon, building from local favorites to global superstars as the sun sets over the Singapore skyline.
| Time Slot | Artist | Genre / Vibe |
| 2:10 PM – 3:10 PM | Nicole Lim | Deep House & Grooves |
| 3:25 PM – 4:25 PM | Jade Rasif | High-Energy Local Favorite |
| 4:40 PM – 5:40 PM | MaRLo | Trance & “Tech-Energy” |
| 5:55 PM – 6:55 PM | Layton Giordani | Sleek, Driving Techno |
| 7:10 PM – 8:40 PM | Alesso (Special Guest) | Emotional Progressive House |
| 8:55 PM – 10:30 PM | John Summit (Headliner) | Volatile Tech-House & Party Anthems |
Why It’s the “Premier” Event
- The “John Summit” Factor: Currently the hottest name in dance music, John Summit is known for sets that are as much about the “vibe” and crowd interaction as they are about the music. This is his closing set before he likely heads to another major global stage.
- The Alesso Appearance: Adding Alesso as a special guest elevates the festival from a standard club event to a massive anthem-singalong experience. Expect hits like “Calling (Lose My Mind)” to echo across the Gardens.
- The Venue: The Meadow is the largest open-air venue in Singapore, providing a massive 360-degree view of the city’s futuristic architecture—the perfect backdrop for Palm Tree’s high-end production.
Pro Tips for the Day
- Strict Age Limit: This is a strictly 18+ event. Make sure you have your physical ID or Singpass ready at the gate.
- Getting There: The Gardens by the Bay MRT (Thomson-East Coast Line) is the closest station. If you’re coming from the city center, it’s a quick walk from Exit 1.
- Weather: It’s a “rain or shine” event. While umbrellas aren’t allowed inside, light ponchos are highly recommended for the tropical Singapore humidity and potential afternoon showers.
