Returning for the 13^th edition, Asia’s definitive music and arts festival, Skechers Sundown Festival 2025 is a three-day event held at Haw Par Villa from July 4th to 6th, 2025, from 4 pm to 10.30 pm. This ticketed event allows guests to participate for free in performances, talks, workshops, exhibitions, and most fringe activities within the festival compound; goods are chargeable at the marketplace and food carts. The organiser projects 50,000 attendees over its three-day run.

Skechers Sundown Festival continues to chart milestones with multiple achievements. The inaugural Music Climate Action Summit, held on 4 July 2025, will feature music industry leaders gathering to launch the #PlasticFreeParty movement for future live music events.

Eco-Rapper Hila the Earth, well-known for dressing up as planet Earth to perform, will be speaking at Gaia Talks on 5 Jul 2025, all taking place for the first time ever at Haw Par Villa, the largest event venue yet with 21 acres of land.

“We are thrilled to introduce Gaia as our new pillar to champion the sustainability cause. We believe that our innovative approach in showcasing sustainability content will resonate with our forward-thinking festival goers and demonstrate our capability to remain cutting edge and leave them wanting more, yet with a smaller footprint on the planet,” announced Mr Kelvin Goh, Co-Founder of Skechers Sundown Festival.

He continues: “We sincerely thank Skechers for being our trusting sponsor for 11 years and for placing their confidence in our ability to deliver buzz-worthy events. Our shared belief in mobilising people toward progress and a common purpose will pave the way for many years of working together. We are immensely proud to fulfil our sustainability ambitions this year with the help of new esteemed partners, such as reusable system MUUSE, carbon assessment partner Unravel Carbon, green energy solution GoRental, and Bye Bye Plastic Foundation.”

“At Skechers Singapore, we are proud to mark 11 years of partnership as the title sponsor of Sundown Festival, an iconic celebration that brings together the best of music, culture, and community. This long-standing collaboration reflects our shared belief in the power of movement in inspiring progress, unity, and purpose,” said Ms Zann Lee, Managing Director of Skechers Southeast Asia.

She adds: “This year, the festival’s strong sustainability ethos deeply resonates with our brand values. As we continue to innovate with comfort, style, and performance in mind, we also commit to a greener future that empowers individuals to express themselves responsibly and confidently. Together with the Skechers Sundown Festival 2025, we strive towards a more conscious, caring, and connected world.”

“Sundown Festival exemplifies the innovative spirit of Singapore’s homegrown events, and we are proud to support its journey. As the festival champions sustainability in purpose and practice, it reflects our vision of a vibrant and responsible tourism landscape. With its unique blend of Asian culture, music, and meaningful climate action, Sundown Festival is poised to inspire locals and global visitors alike,” Ms Guo Teyi, Director of Leisure Events, Singapore Tourism Board.

Rooted in its Asian-ness yet with an international outlook, Skechers Sundown Festival has choreographed this “yin-yang” dichotomy into a successful art form (and music festival). This year, the “yin-yang” concept found its kindred spirit in Haw Par Villa, which manifested the supernatural aspect of the ideology into a bewildering diorama of Chinese folklore and the afterlife.

Haw Par Villa’s surreal, macabre exhibition offers a first-of-its-kind, eccentric backdrop for a contemporary festival. This juxtaposition will firmly place the event in a league of its own. On the other hand, Skechers Sundown Festival reframes this cultural gem of a theme park through the lens of youth culture to re-emerge as a place of interest and identity touchpoint for the new generation to embrace their Asian heritage.

Skechers Sundown festival harnesses the universal appeal of music, art, and entertainment to influence and empower participants on sustainability and personal responsibility toward the environment. This is achieved by formulating a catalyst for change, strategic collaborations, and rallying champions for the exact cause. Take for example how Skechers Sundown Festival 2025 is executing a zero-carbon festival to inspire participants with sustainable practices put into action.

The festival boasts a roster of leaders from various industries united in their vision for sustainability. From musicians, entertainers, artists, chefs, and environmental NGOs, the Skechers Sundown Festival brings diverse perspectives and compelling voices to inform and inspire. Skechers Sundown Festival 2025 invites a group of thought leaders who advocate their cause and demonstrate intrinsic knowledge in their field of expertise, making them powerful, tangible role models for participants to look up to and emulate.

Skechers Sundown Festival runs from 4th to 6th July 2025 at Haw Par Villa Singapore. For more information and registration, visit their website here
