9 reasons why ZoukOut 2013 is experiencing a burnout

Slightly bigger crowds and longer hours do not equate to a better music festival.

The 13th edition of dance music festival ZoukOut 13 attracted the largest crowd ever.

Some 41,000 young adults partied at Sentosa over the two days on Dec. 13 and 14.

There was the annual staples of fireworks, roving percussion troupes and good mix of DJs. But was it great?

Someone apparently thinks so: "ZoukOut 2013 was certainly the best one yet."

Except that the quote belongs to Zouk's own Head of Marketing and Events.

If the highlight of ZoukOut was letting party-goers pay for their drinks with their EZ-Link cards (Wasn't it implemented at McDonalds previously?), you know that ZoukOut this year is meh.

 

Here are 8 reasons why ZoukOut 2013 is experiencing a burnout.

 

1. Everyone at the event thought they were cool if they raised their hands.

Fortunately, the buff-bodied men and the bikini-clad ladies were there to save the day.
