Palm Tree Music Festival, an electronic dance music (EDM) event co-founded by Norwegian DJ and record producer Kygo, will stage its first Asian edition in Singapore at Gardens by the Bay.<\/p>\n
The line-up includes the return of EDM heavyweights such as American DJ and record producer John Summit and Swedish DJ and record producer Alesso. Other performers include New York-born DJ and producer Layton Giordani, who will play his first show in Singapore.<\/p>\n
Palm Tree sets itself apart from other dance music festivals by branding itself as a hospitality-led event. The inaugural edition was held in the US\u2019 Hamptons region in 2021 and it has since held events in other high-end destinations such as Saint-Tropez in France and Aspen in the US.<\/p>\n
The Singapore edition is billed as a premium festival experience with VIP services and curated food and beverage selections.<\/p>\n
