Baybeats 2026 brings four days of indie rock and alternative tunes to the Esplanade, with local and international acts.
For four days in September, the Esplanade becomes the heart of indie rock and alternative music as Baybeats 2026 takes over the bay. With a lineup featuring musicians from Singapore and beyond, it’s a chance to discover new sounds and soak up the waterfront vibes.
Running from Thu 3 Sep to Sun 6 Sep, the festival spans the long weekend, giving you plenty of time to catch the acts. Head to 1 Esplanade Drive, right by the bay, and enjoy the music till late — doors are open till 11pm each night.
Before you go 🧭
- Getting there
- Esplanade MRT (CC3) puts you at the door through CityLink; City Hall (EW13/NS25) is about five minutes on foot. Driving on a Saturday night is the slow option.
- Bags
- There is a free bag deposit, open 5pm to 12.30am across all four days. Last deposit is 11.30pm — worth knowing if you are coming straight from work.
- Register for the indoor sets
- The outdoor stages are walk-in. Annexe and Powerhouse² shows need registration on Esplanade’s site beforehand, and they are the ones that fill up.
- If it rains
- The Chillout Stage is on the Esplanade Concourse and the Annexe is indoors, so the festival keeps going. LiveWire and the Arena are open-air.
