For the first time in Singapore, there will be a surprise showcase of customized laser show, featuring fireworks and the most powerful laser in the world.
Incorporating Wave House as part of the ZoukOut venue will add a new dimension by increasing the numbers of stages from 3 to 4, and offer party revelers a whole new festival ambience and an additional range of exciting fringe activities, with the chance to try out their new wave pools on that night.
