the cabs are a Japanese post-rock/math-rock trio recognised for their emotionally intense sound and intricate rhythmic approach. Following their disbandment in 2013, the band officially returned in 2025 and went on to sell out the entirety of their Japan reunion tour, culminating in an immediately sold-out final show at Tokyo’s Toyosu PIT. During their initial run, the cabs released three albums, establishing a notable presence within Japan’s underground alternative scene.

With intricate rhythms and melodies, the cabs took to the Powerhouse² (Singtel Waterfront Theatre at Esplanade) stage on 4 Sep 2026, Fri, at Baybeats.

The 25th edition of Baybeats, presented by Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay took place from 3 – 6 Sep 2026, bringing four days of alternative music across five stages.

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.
