F1 Rocks (1)

It was a three day musical extravaganza in Singapore when some of the hottest up-and-coming artists in the world performed on the Red Bull Stage at the inaugural F1 Rocks Singapore music festival, held September 24th – 26th 2009.

Red Bull is certainly a brand that loves to do things differently, and in keeping with that ethos, mixitup created a truly unique design for the Red Bull Stage: shipping containers stacked on top of one another, against a backdrop of natural greenery at Fort Canning Park.

The outcome was a visual treat for fans, with its modern, raw industrial design and graffiti artwork. Some lucky fans even got the chance to enter the special VIP area atop a container for a direct view of the stage. A totally unique concert experience!

Brooklyn based rock band, Black Gold, headlined the stage, accompanied by UK beatbox extraordinaire Killa Kela and ZPYZ from Berlin. The supporting cast included Singapore’s very own Red Bull Music Academy alumni DJs Debbie Chia, Vijay Singh, Aresha and Sonicbrat, as well as popular local DJ Ko Flow. Completing the line-up was DJ Chris McGuiness from India, better known as the godfather of the Indian hip hop scene.

On-screen visuals were created by Singaporean VJ duo Achtung!Achtung (that’s German for Attention! Attention! in case you didn’t know) who have worked with Steve Aoki and The Rapture, amongst many others.

With Red Bull’s strong engagement with the Formula 1, and history of innovative music projects around the globe, the Red Bull Stage was a natural fit for a mega event like F1 Rocks!
