What is the Waterbomb Festival?
Epic live performances, water games, and party vibes are just some of the things that come to mind when you think of the Waterbomb Festival. It’s one of Korea’s biggest music festivals where K-pop idols, hip-hop artists, and DJs perform live while the crowd gets drenched in water battles.
Over the years, Waterbomb has expanded beyond Korea to countries such as Thailand, Japan, the Philippines, and of course, Singapore. Fans have witnessed iconic performances at this festival from EXO’s Kai, Kwon Eunbi, JESSI, and more.
An event filled with the hottest K-stars.
Waterbomb Singapore 2025: lineup, dates, and more
After its wildly successful debut in Singapore in 2024, Waterbomb is returning to Siloso Beach, Sentosa, from 30 to 31 August 2025. It’s part of the Viu Scream Dates initiative and presented by DBS Bank.
