The S20 Hong Kong Songkran Music Festival will be held at the Central Harbourfront Event Space from Aug 5 to 6.

Songkran is Thailand’s annual New Year celebration and is known as the biggest water fight in the world – with water splashing to symbolize washing away bad luck and welcoming a new start.

Taking place each year in April, S2O Songkran Music Festival debuted in 2015 in Bangkok and has already spread across Asia to Japan, South Korea, China's Taiwan, and this year, to Hong Kong.

Partygoers can expect to be immersed in a world of music, water and lights, enjoy high-energy performances by world-renowned DJs and artists with stunning visual effects and 360 degrees of water splashing experience. The exclusive 360-degree water spraying system imported from Thailand will make its debut in Hong Kong.
