Waterbomb Singapore 2025
In less than a month, the Waterbomb Singapore festival will be making its return to Siloso Beach, Sentosa on 30th and 31st August 2025. Expect a weekend filled with high-energy beats and water battles, as the lineup of South Korean, local, and international artists takes over the Waterbomb stage.
What is the Waterbomb festival?

Waterbomb is an annual music festival that started in South Korea in 2015. 10 years later, it has expanded internationally with a focus on K-pop, hip-hop, and EDM. But what really sets Waterbomb apart? Let’s just say: if you leave dry, you’re doing it wrong.
At Waterbomb Singapore 2025, the crowd isn’t just there to vibe – you’re part of the action too. This year’s edition sees performers divided into 2 different teams by colours: Team Sky and Team Pink. Festival-goers can choose their team and engage in water fights, with a “winner” being announced at the end of the festival.

If you grew up listening to SHINee, watch Minho and Taemin, representing different teams, on day 1 at 8.15pm and 9.20pm. Other popular K-pop artists include EXID, who’re performing at 7.10pm, and Junny and 2NE1, on day 2 at 5pm and 9.20pm.
But don’t forget to show some love to our local talents such as WhyLucas on day 1 at 2.50pm, and Estelle Fly on day 2 at 2.50pm.

For less K-pop and more K-hip-hop, Huta, who’s been a fan favourite at previous Waterbomb festivals, is making his Waterbomb Singapore debut at 6.50pm on day 1. On Sunday at 7.10pm, catch Lee Youngji with her genre-mix of chill hip-hop and R&B. Imagine less waving your hands in the air, but more dance party vibes.

You might remember Team Bebe from Waterbomb Singapore 2024, but this year, Jam Republic will be joining them. If the names of these groups ring a bell, it’s because they’re also the winner and runner-up from Street Woman Fighter 2 – a South Korean dance competition TV programme. Watch them battle it out on stage again on the 30th at 5pm.

Throw your hands in the air with live electronic dance music (EDM) sets by DJs such as Kiara, Cream, and Raiden. They’ll be spinning the wheel, mixing and blending your favourite K-pop hits with EDM drops. Catch their performances on the first day at 2.20pm, 6.40pm and 8.50pm respectively.
While you’re bopping along to live performances, you’ll also be able to enjoy cooling refreshments and take part in challenges at Sprite’s activity stations. These include the Chill Win Challenge, where you can score cool merch, as well as the Nando’s x Sprite Spicy Snap Challenge for spice lovers. Don’t forget to pose for pictures at IG-worthy photo ops, and cool off at the Sprite Ice Lounge with Sprite slushies.

Tips for Waterbomb Singapore 2025
Come earlier
The first performance starts at 2.20pm, but the ticket booth opens at 10am. We recommend arriving earlier to collect your wristbands and clear the security checks. With thousands of festival-goers streaming in, some hiccups are bound to happen – so better to be safe than miss your fave artist’s set.
To speed things up at the security checks, take note of some prohibited items, including camping equipment, large and bulky bags, and outside food and drinks.
Dress comfortably

As much as it’s a good opportunity to try a new fashion style, skip the denim jorts and anything else that gets heavy when soaked. Instead, go for swimwear or clothes that you don’t mind getting drenched in. And because you’ll be standing for hours, a pair of comfortable waterproof sneakers or sandals will go a long way.
For ladies with long hair, past festival-goers suggest styling your hair by braiding or tying it. Wet hair clinging to your face while you’re mid-dance battle? Not cute.
And lastly, don’t forget to bring a small waterproof bag. Make sure they don’t come with exposed zippers, as water can still seep through them, damaging your phones and portable chargers.
Make a splash at Waterbomb Singapore 2025
You don’t need to be a K-pop fan to attend and enjoy Waterbomb Singapore 2025. It’s a fun music festival to beat the Singapore heat with live music and performances, and enjoy the company of your friends till the sun goes down.
