Over 11,000 Music Fans Gather For ROAD TO ULTRA SINGAPORE | The inaugural edition of Road To ULTRA Singapore took place last night at the iconic Marina Bay Sands, setting a new record for the largest indoor dance music event in Singapore history.
Road to ULTRA Singapore also goes down in history as Singapore’s first completely cashless event of this scale, and one of the biggest parties of the 2015 F1 weekend.
Three of the world’s most popular DJs – Skrillex, Nicky Romero and Alesso, took to the legendary ULTRA stage for an eight-hour production of music, lighting and theatricals, brought direct from the team behind globally renowned electronic music festival, ULTRA Miami.
The jam-packed Sands Expo and Convention halls, described by Rave Republic as “one of the biggest gigs of their life’’ welcomed more than 11,000 ‘ULTRAnauts’ to party the night away into the early hours of Sunday morning.
Dutch DJ, Nicky Romero, famed for his chart-topping tracks ‘Lighthouse’ ‘Warriors’ and ‘Feet on the ground’ says: “It was an honour to be invited to be a headliner at the first ever Road To ULTRA Singapore. ULTRA is always a highlight of my touring schedule and this edition was no exception. The reception from everyone has been overwhelming and the crowd was awesome! I can’t wait to return to Singapore.’
Kicking off in true ULTRA style, Asian based duo Rave Republic geared the crowd up for the night ahead. As one of the most in-demand DJ duos based out of Asia, they created a high energy show featuring props, video visuals and many memorable surprises themed in a post apocalyptic way.
The momentum further built up with performances from Mija, Ansolo, Nicky Romero and Swedish power house Alesso, before Skrillex closed the night with an electrifying 90-minute set taking fans on a journey across music, cranking up the atmosphere to euphoric levels through the early hours of this morning.
One of the party goers, Prashant Ashoka, 26 says: “Skrillex brought the house down! His closing set was immense and it was great to see him live – he has a huge following in Singapore and the crowd were so excited – the lighting, confetti drops, lasers and pyros all created a super cool atmosphere.’’
Raj Datwani, Executive Partner for Road to ULTRA Singapore, says: “We’re delighted with the success of last night’s event and loved welcoming some of the biggest names in the music industry to Singapore. We had an overwhelming response to ticket sales and the event was at capacity, which speaks volumes for the growth of the EDM scene in Asia. We are excited about bringing future ULTRA events to Singapore and further strengthening the ULTRA brand presence in Asia.’’
Ultra Worldwide, the world’s premier electronic music festival, is proud to announce that it will be bringing three of the world’s most popular DJs to Singapore to perform at the inaugural Road To Ultra Singapore.
Taking place on Saturday, 19th September during the Formula One race weekend, the event will be headlined by award-winning American music producer and songwriter Skrillex, Swedish powerhouse Alesso, and Dutch DJ Nicky Romero, who is currently ranked 8th top DJ in the world by DJ magazine. Supporting acts include rising progressive house star Ansolo, Skrillex’s OSWLA label mate Mija, Costa Rica’s Ale Mora and regional standout duo, Rave Republic.
Thousands of fans are expected to attend the event at Sands Expo and Convention Centre in Marina Bay Sands, joining more than 2 million attendees of Ultra Music Festivals worldwide.
Alexander Chew, Executive Producer and Partner of Ultra Singapore says: “We are excited to be able to launch Road to Ultra Singapore with such a robust artist line-up. Skrillex, Alesso and Nicky Romero are three of the most sought-after DJs in the industry and I am sure that they will put on a show-stopping performance.”
“We are also pleased with the response that we have received so far for the event. Our early bird ticket release sold-out in a recorded breaking 21 minutes and we continue to see excitement grow as the event draws near. The Ultra Worldwide team sees Singapore is a key market to grow the brand and we look forward to hosting an exciting event!” adds Raj Datwani, Executive Producer and Partner of Ultra Singapore.
Maunik Thacker, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Marina Bay Sands said: “Ultra Music Festival is considered one of the biggest dance music festival brands in the world, so we are thrilled to be hosting Road to Ultra in Marina Bay Sands. The event will further strengthen our reputation as Asia’s entertainment destination, and will complement the high-octane festivities held in and around the Marina Bay area over the Formula One weekend.”

Private Cabanas
“Singapore was the obvious destination of choice, because we recognize its value as an international hub and up-and-coming center for music and entertainment in South-east Asia. With Singapore’s vibrant calendar of world class events, and exceptional infrastructure, it was only natural for it to be FMFA’s next home,” Muhammad Iqbal, Group Chief Executive Officer of The Livescape Group said.

In addition to the star-studded cast of international, regional and local acts, we also look forward to having a few more little surprises in store for all festivalgoers on-site.

Several carnival rides will be set up including a Carousel, Bumper Car Ride, Gryospin Ride, Meteorite and a never before seen in Singapore, Stage Dive. Also there will be sections where partygoers can rest and recharge with hammocks and bean bags which will be located close to an extensive food village which will feature some of the best food operators from Singapore, Malaysia and even Thailand.
