The world’s wettest party is returning to Hong Kong for the second year running. S2O will make a splash at Central Harbourfront on Saturday, June 8 and Sunday, 9, 2024, where festival-goers will get to usher in the summer with water-splashing as they groove to beats by local and international artists. Read on to find out how to score a ticket to this hot event.
What is the S2O music festival?
S2O is a popular music festival that started in Bangkok in 2015, and takes inspiration from Songkran — the Thai New Year festivities in which water-splashing is the main highlight. In Thailand, it’s usually a three-day event that coincides with Songkran on April 13-15 every year, while the dates and duration vary in other cities every year. Hong Kong’s first S2O was a two-day event held in August 2023.
When and where is S2O in Hong Kong?
Hong Kong’s second S2O will be held at Central Harbourfront on June 8 and 9, 2024 — the weekend just before the Dragon Boat Festival. You can enter the festival venue from 1pm onwards, and the performers will take the stage from 2pm-11pm on both days.
What artists will perform at the Hong Kong S2O?
The DJs and artists will perform at two zones, and the biggest acts will be on the main stage. Festival-goers will be drenched in water, courtesy massive water guns on the stage. Here’s the artist line-up for the festival:
| SATURDAY, JUNE 8 | SUNDAY, JUNE 9 |
| DJ NewJeansNim | Afrojack |
| Acraze | Kayzo |
| Alok | Morten |
| Andrew Rayel | Pauline Herr |
| Brooks | SJRM |
| Galantis |
If you want to dry off, head to the non-wet Summer Beats Zone to listen to multi-platinum artist Lenny Pearce, DJ and girl group member of C Pink, Amber Na, China’s top DJ Aryue, and German music producer and DJ Cuebrick, among others.
What are the highlights of the Hong Kong S2O?
Apart from the main stage and Summer Beats Zone, this year’s festival will have Rap Shows & Dance Battles in which rappers and dancers will show off their skills in a series of contests. Head to the Glam Zone to get a sparkly waterproof look, and Food Village to get your fill of food and drinks as you party on!
