LITE (JP)
Premiere: 19 Dec, 8pm
Established in 2003, four-piece Japanese band LITE has captured audiences worldwide thanks to their unique and emotionally charged sound, combining innovative and cutting-edge riffs and rhythms. Renowned pioneers in the instrumental rock and math rock genres, LITE has been continuously embracing new challenges and experimental ventures, leaving an indelible mark both nationally and globally. They have toured extensively in festivals like ArcTanGent Festival (UK), Fuji Rock (JP) and Summer Sonic (JP). April 2023 marked a pivotal moment for LITE as they commemorated their 20th anniversary with the release of their seventh album, STRATA in Jan 2024.
Comprising Nobuyuki Takeda (guitar/vocals), Kozo Kusumoto (guitar/synth), Jun Izawa (bass), and Akinori Yamamoto (drums), LITE took the Powerhouse² (Singtel Waterfront Theatre at Esplanade) as part of Baybeats on 12 Oct 2024.
About the festival
The 23rd edition of Baybeats, presented by Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, took place from 11–13 Oct 2024. Each year, Baybeats works hard to bring together a diverse mix of alternative artists, from Singapore and around the world. Baybeats hopes to create a space where emerging and established artists share the same stages, where boundaries fade, and where a passion for music and shared moments are what truly matter.
As Singapore’s largest free alternative music festival, the success of Baybeats is built upon years of strong support from our independent music scene, from musicians and fans who have grown with the festival (and now bring their families along), to our Baybeats Budding Bands and first-time festival-goers. Baybeats thrives because of everyone’s unwavering support and belief in alternative music.
