S2O Festival began in Bangkok in 2015 as part of the Songkran celebration, and has since expanded internationally. The festival combines water activities, high-powered water cannons, and visual production with performances from top-tier DJs. Following successful editions in New York and Los Angeles, S2O Australia marks the festival’s first edition in the country.
Festival organisers have emphasised that the event is designed as a full sensory experience, combining music, water, and production elements. Simon Coyle, a partner of S2O Australia, said the festival would bring “water, music, community, energy and production all rolled into one.” The Royal Queensland Golf Club’s open-air setting, just outside Fortitude Valley, will host multiple stages, water activities, and visual production for the festival. Attendees will also have access to chill-out areas, dry zones, food vendors, market stalls, and on-site changing facilities.
Talents Performing at S2O Australia
The festival’s lineup features international and Australian DJs. Headlining is UK house DJ James Hype, known for his energetic mash-up-driven sets. Brazilian DJ Alok will bring his bass-heavy productions and crossover anthems, while UK singer and performer Becky Hill will contribute live vocals to the electronic music performances.
Australian DJ Will Sparks will showcase his Melbourne Bounce style. Supporting acts include Marie Vaunt, Lance Savali, and Tita Lau, each bringing their own styles to the festival’s music programming.
Festival Experience
Beyond the music, S2O Australia will feature interactive splash zones, water cannon moments, pyrotechnics, and visual production. The festival is designed to provide attendees with a combination of music and water-based activities, creating a unique experience for EDM fans and those seeking a new type of festival event.
