This year’s edition of Sundown Festival has just gotten even more dynamic. The latest additions to Asia’s definitive music festival’s already excellent line-up for the highly anticipated event, taking place on from 12 to 13 August 2023 at heritage building Pasir Panjang Power Station, have been unveiled.
A Rocking Night with Miyavi
Did you miss MIYAVI’s concert at Marina Bay Sands, the hottest new Japanese rock star? Well, here’s another opportunity to witness the captivating performer and witness his dazzling guitar skills in action at the Sundown Festival.
MIYAVI is a global cultural ambassador who uses music and acting to unite people from different backgrounds. With his one-of-a-kind guitar playing, he has toured the world nine times, having visited more than 30 nations for live shows, and releasing thirteen albums. MIYAVI’s first major cinematic role was in the Oscar-nominated movie Unbroken. Since then, he’s featured in both the live-action Bleach movie and the 2017 film Kong: Skull Island. Some of his most recent films are “Stray” (2019) and “Maleficent 2” (2020).
Dance to the Beat of DJ Vinai
Italian electronic music duo DJ Vinai are stepping in to replace Firebeatz on the bill. They are recognised for their catchy tunes and frequent appearances on the Billboard charts.
Both brothers, Andrea and Alessandro Vinai, hail from Brescia in northern Italy and began DJing and making music in 2013. Even after a decade, they remain as popular as ever, and producing a discography that is ever impressive. On their electro-pop single Running To You, the brothers teamed up with Moonshine, Caden, and Madism and on their infectious peak-time smash Raindrops, they teamed up with Stefy De Cicco and Jessica Chertock.
Sundown Festival 2023 will feature DJ Vinai, whose high-energy performances have thrilled audiences in Europe, the Americas and Asia.
Fuse Music and Art with the Artist Benzilla
Benzilla is a fusion of “Ben” and “Godzilla” and is the artist name of world-famous street artist Parinya Sirisisuk. Since beginning his artistic career in 2007, Bangkok-born Benzilla has become one of the most in-demand artist of many hats; painter, sculptor, graphic designer and street artist all rolled into one.
Benzilla draws inspiration from various sources, including popular culture (especially for his famous character Loook the three-eyed extraterrestrial), street culture, music, and fashion. His main interest is in incorporating his artwork into new forms, such as murals, sculptures, objects, and toys.
Many international companies, such as Levi’s, Lacoste, Freitag, G-Shock, Samsung, Disney, King Power, McDonald’s, Mini, Alliance Francaise, Vans, Adidas Originals, Toyota, Johnnie Walker, Ibis Hotel, MCM, HP and Nescafé, are eager to collaborate with him because of his vibrant, cartoonish graffiti murals, which he began creating after earning a degree in Fine and Applied Arts from Bangkok University.
One of Benzilla’s latest high-profile advertising partnerships is with Swiss luxury watchmaker Maurice Lacroix, for whom he designed a brightly coloured “special edition” timepiece called the Aikon #tide Benzilla.
