Get your hands on limited-edition BigO 40th Anniversary and band merchandise—because a legendary festival deserves a legendary souvenir.
Back in 1985, BigO Magazine (short for Before I Get Old) gave Singapore’s underground bands a voice. It documented, championed, and fought for independent music in a time when mainstream recognition was nearly impossible. Philip Cheah, BigO’s founder, summed it up best:
“BigO, or Before I Get Old. Because it’s that moment of youth when we still have the will and energy for change. To write their own songs and to play their own music. We’re not afraid of getting old!”
This festival is a tribute to that spirit—a reminder that indie music will always find a way to thrive.
If you love music that’s raw, real, and unapologetically different, BigO: 40 Years of Counter Culture is where you need to be. Singapore’s indie scene is alive and kicking—are you ready to be part of it?
