Long post coming up but so necessary! GastroBeats 2024 comes to an end tonight. It’s been such a surreal past 24 days and an amazing experience seeing 12 months of work come to life. We set out to build not just a festival of food and music, but something much more. From the beginning, our vision was, is and will continue to be, to create an inclusive, diverse, platform for our people, our communities, to come together, to celebrate, to realise dreams and goals , and to be proud of what they can achieve. We wanted to play the role of helping to make all this happen. And in reflecting on the past 12 months of planning, engaging and executing, I can touch my heart and say we did exactly this. In solid partnerships with our mentors 53A, Aiken Chia and Nina Tan, we launched our inaugural mentorship programs for both musicians and content creators, which have given birth to our first batch of GastroBeats Gig-gers and GB-Lets, respectively. We’ve seen these talents grow week on week, and I’m really filled with so much pride when I see how they’ve come into their own in all ways - not just technically, but in terms of self-confidence and how they more than hold their own. Thank you everyone, you made this program rock! I’m also thankful for our brand partners and every single food, retail and entertainment partner, many of whom have become more than just commercial relationships because they get what we’re building - we look forward to continuing on this journey with you! I want to give a special shout out to Glenn Ong, Angelique Nicolette Teo and Mark Van Cuylenburg and the KISS 92 team for their great partnership and support over the past few months, it’s been a dream to work with you. The over half a million bodies (2- and 4-legged) who have walked through our gates to eat, drink and be happy have kept the team going. You are the beating heart of our community and we promise you, the O4 team has soooo much more in store in the coming months! Last but definitely not least, my rockstar team of dream-makers at The O4 Company - Luke Koh 许隆宏, Liyana Salman Morrison （毛莉安）, Colin Yan, YiXuan Sim, Aloysius Tan, CQ, Kit Mun - look what you’ve done!!! Words just cannot express how proud I am to work with you all, and I’m so so excited about where we’re going next! To our extended family at The-Wolfpack, thank you so much for the unending support, help and spirit, always. Teamwork makes the dream work! So much more to come #dontstopbelieving #nothingsgonnastopusnow Come join us this evening for one last party (for now), but watch this space as The O4 Company brings you more inspiring, meaningful and kickass experiences in the months to come!

GastroBeats 2024: A Heartfelt Thank You As July begins, I look back on the whirlwind that was GastroBeats 2024 with immense gratitude. Over 550,000 attendees graced us across 26 days. This overwhelming participation underscores the collective spirit that brought this festival to life. The journey to GastroBeats has never been easy, but our community has continuously risen to the challenge, making each festival more remarkable than the last. Community is the soul of GastroBeats, and it drives us to create the best People’s Festival every year. Our brand partners, your unwavering support and collaboration were the festival’s lifeblood. Special thanks to Sze Ling Jen, Fazrina Shreen and the Coca-Cola team; Hannah Nicolette W., Shirmaine Tan, Meryl Ho and the Asahi Group Holdings team; Stephanie N., Leanne Ng Yi Min, Harris Lim and the Makoto-Ya team; Karoline Lem, Hui Xin Lee, and the foodpanda team, among others. Your contributions were the backbone of GastroBeats. To the rockstars — 53A, NationOne, Shirlyn + The UnXpected, Little Band Plus, Jumpstart, Jukuleles, Passerby, Joie Tan, Syltra, Tabula, Supersonic — your performances were the festival’s heartbeat, bringing joy, energy, and unity. Capturing the crowd dancing to your music gave me goosebumps and showcased the undeniable magic of the #BestVibes. This year, we launched community-driven mentorship programs for aspiring musicians and content creators. The GIG-ers Mentorship Programme, led by our Chief Music Officer 53A, and the GB-LETs Mentorship Programme, guided by Chief Content Officers Aiken Chia and Nina Tan, were designed to nurture young talents. These aspiring artists embarked on a transformative 6-month journey, learning from the best and showcasing their skills at GastroBeats. Watching them grow and collaborate has been a profound joy, reaffirming our commitment to fostering a supportive community. To the media outlets that supported us, our gratitude is immense. Special shout to Kiss92 FM and Catch.SG for joining us on this journey. Your synergy and creativity were incredible. To our extended family — every attendee who brought smiles, laughter, and a sense of belonging — you are a testament to the power of community. This journey has been extraordinary, and I am deeply honoured to have shared it with you all. To my team of overachievers, your dedication behind the scenes has been crucial. Michele Lee, Luke Koh 许隆宏, Liyana Salman Morrison, Colin Yan, Aloysius Tan, Kit Mun Wong, Ching Quan CHONG, and The-Wolfpack: Jin Wei Toh, KC Tan, Simon Nichols, Brian Lau, Iqbal Aziz, Sarabelle Tan, Tyron Swanepoel, Ashnee P., Akil Nannooh, CFA, your commitment turned chaos into a well-managed frenzy. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for making this dream possible. GastroBeats has always been about bringing people together and supporting one another. This year, we truly embodied our name: The People’s Festival. Here’s to many more years of celebration, unity, and joy.

Excited for what Ampverse and The O4 Company will be bringing to Asia with the ARKADE Festival concept!
