Mark your calendar, the all-white party is coming back to Bangkok for the first time since 2014 is slated for Sunday, July 29 at BITEC Bangna. Meanwhile, its first jaunt in Singapore is happening later on Saturday, September 1 at Changi Exhibition Centre. Unlike the Bangkok edition, the Singapore debut will be held outdoor.
Lineup and shows
Thailand: The lineup artists revealed on May 31 are Dash Berlin, Sam Feldt, Dannic, Ko:Yu, Dirty South, WHOISJODY, and, as expected, Sensation’s globetrotting resident DJ Mr White as well as MC Gee, who has been the voice of the party brand for the past eight years.
Fans can expect a new theme, RISE, featuring classic Sensation elements like light spectacles, pyrotechnics and crowd-wowing dancers. It has already travelled to Monterrey, Mexico City so Google for a sneak peek.
Singapore: Stay tuned for an official announcement.
