Sarvesh Rock Festival – Thaikkudam Bridge Live in Singapore 25 Mar 2017
(Updated as of 15 December)
The Important Details
Date: 25 March 2017
Time: 4pm – 10pm
Venue: WaveHouse, Siloso Beach, Sentosa
Type of Event: Free Standing – Rock Festival – Beach Party.
This is a rain or shine event. Please dress appropriately as you may end up getting wet. There is no dress code perse. But, do dress to ROCK and PARTY!
Why is this show not held in an indoor auditorium?
Well, we could have gone with that option. As organisers , our role is to ensure that the art form is presented in the most suitable fashion; doing justice to the listener as well as the artiste. We have had the opportunity of watching Thaikkudam Bridge LIVE in concert. It would be great injustice to keep them confined to a seating arena.
As an organisation, we believe in bucking trends and setting new benchmarks. We are constantly challenging ourselves to bring live entertainment to the next level. Executing this to perfection will not be easy. This will be a whole new different ball game than our previous shows. Despite the challenges that lie ahead, we remain extremely excited to give you an amazing day of live music and entertainment.
Let us try making this easier for you. Fish Curry can be eaten for every meal from Breakfast with Roti Prata to Lunch with rice or dinner with Thosai. But, a true connoisseur of the dish will know that Fish Curry will taste its best the day after.
In that same vein, we are showcasing this magical talent in the best way possible.
Why WaveHouse Sentosa? Isn’t Sentosa inaccessible?
We needed an outdoor venue yet we wanted a place that is secure and comfortable to you. We also needed to factor in a place where the show will go on despite any turn of the weather. After factoring in all relevant considerations, we settled on WaveHouse. Yes, it is in Sentosa. But it will be no different from watching a concert at the Expo or Changi. We will be working with organisations to ensure adequate transportation options will be made available after the concert. More details will be released soon.
Why is the event so long? What is going to happen for 6 hours, 4pm-10pm?
As mentioned, we are packaging this event as a Music Festival with Thaikkudam Bridge being the headline act. There will be performances from Singaporean bands that will definitely impress you as well as sets from only the best emerging DJs in Singapore.
Thaikkudam Bridge will perform for no less than 120 minutes. That’s a guarantee. We strongly urge you to watch the local acts as well. The amount of talent that we have will definitely surprise you. Besides, if we do not support our own people, who else will?
Does a Rock Concert mean that it will be noisy and overbearing?
Rock in it essence refers to an umbrella of many genres. Thaikkudam Bridge is a perfect example of a rock band, who can re-intrepret soothing melodies from the Music Maestro Illayaraja to hits from Metallica. They have a unique sound to them that has made them who they are today, India’s Most Sought After Band.
Does this mean I have to stand throughout the whole festival?
This is a Music festival, the first of its kind to be held for the Indian diaspora in Singapore. If you do feel that having a seat is crucial, the VIP category has seats. There are also bar stools and benches in the open category. Perhaps you can come early and grab those seats.
Why are the tickets more expensive than Masala Coffee?
At the start of every project, we work our ticket prices backwards based on the estimated projected cost of the project. Thaikkudam is a more high profile band than Masala Coffee and would naturally cost more. We on our end also have the responsibility of satisfying your expectations where sound and the entire experience is concerned.
For those who believed that it is a crime to pay more than $50 for a live Indian Concert, we hoped to have proven you wrong in our last show. For those who still maintain such a belief, there are other shows out there for you. Infact, there are 2 shows in January for your consideration.
Why don’t you engage a Ticketing Agent like Sistic?
There are 2 main reasons for which we do not wish to engage a ticketing agent. It saves you from a potential $4 booking fee and creates a buffer between us.
As such, we will be processing payment via bank transfer like the last time. Yes, this method may sound inefficient and time consuming to both you and I. But it gives us an opportunity to forge a relationship. At the infant stage of our journey, it is important for us to know each and everyone of you. You people are our greatest strength and it does not make sense to insert a 3rd party between us.
However, we have taken your feedback into consideration and are exploring working with third party apps.
What are the drink prices at during the Festival ?
Let us remind you that this is first and foremost a MUSIC festival. There will sale of food and beverages, inclusive of alcohol at affordable prices. As such, we have set the minimum age of entry at 18.
Responsible drinking is paramount. The service crew has been strictly instructed not to serve any person more alcohol if he is deemed to be intoxicated. The security crew has been instructed to remove any person from the event premises if they are a nuisance. We would like to treat everyone as responsible adults and hope we are all on the same page in this.
Our priority is to ensure that each and everyone of you has an amazing time. If your decision to buy tickets is conditional on the price of liquor bottles for that day, this Music Festival is not for you.
We are working with sponsors to ensure the price point of the F&B on sale remains competitive and affordable.
Is this going to be the same show as the tribute to Illayaraja on Vijay TV?
If you do want to watch the above, let me help you with the URL: http://www.hotstar.com/tv/ilaiyaraaja-aayiram/thaikkudam-bridge-rocks-it/1000088763
This festival is not about Illayaraja. It is about Thaikkudam Bridge, one of the best bands in India and their amazing talent. They will include the Illayaraja medley as part of their repertoire but to only restrict them to that is grave injustice to their talent.
Are there any discounts?
A word that you love and we hate. Having said that, we have explored some options. The Standard Ticket is $98 and the VIP Category is $228. The Early Bird Discount that we offered expired as of 15 December 2016.
We have come up with attractive group discount package options for your consideration. Those who have purchased your early bird tickets are welcome to switch their purchase to a group package if they are interested
There are 3 other Indian Concerts happening around the same time. Why should I choose this particular event?
No disrespect to other events and Artistes, we can confidently tell you that if you are a music lover, then, this is the event for you. The other concerts will feature playback singers singing live or lip syncing. It will be a pleasurable experience, no doubt. But, our show will raise the bar. It will get your heart beating to the music. You will be blown away. This is one of the Top Bands in India and it is going to be ROCKING evening.
Please feel free to contact me at 65 9185 2251 should you have more questions.
