The suburban enclave of Discovery Bay will once again host The Next Wave Beach Music Festival this summer. The beach carnival will take place on from 2pm-8pm on June 29 and 30 at Tai Pak Beach, and will have more than 25 musical acts from Hong Kong and Taiwan performing at the weekend event. Tickets for the festival will be available from May 10.
This year’s line-up of performers includes Hong Kong rapper Tyson Yoshi, Cantopop girl band Lolly Talk, and indie group RubberBand. Other artists who will take the stage during the festival include local trio P1X3L, singer Nancy Kwai, rock band KOLOR, and rapper Billy Choi. There will also be DJs behind the console to keep the energy of festival-goers up throughout the day.
Tickets for the festival will be available on TIX-GET-GO by KKTIX later this week. Sales for student tickets priced at HK$488 will open on May 10. General admission tickets (HK$588) and VIP tickets (HK$988) and will be on sale from 11 am on May 16 (Hang Seng Mastercard Credit Card holders) and May 21 (public sales). There are no currently no other details about the event regarding other entertainment options and facilities.
When the first-ever edition of The Next Wave was held in July 2023, there was a sea park and yachts available to rent. However, there were also several complaints about the event that the organisers plan to address this year, such as the limited floor plan, how the VIP booths blocked access to the beach, and the lack of lightning around the venue. The organisers are also considering adding a new zone for a special beach music festival experience and allowing festival-goers to bring water guns to use in specific areas of the venue.
