Mind Against to headline AFTER 2049’s rooftop return to Marina Bay Sands

AFTER 2049 returns on Friday, October 3, 2025, once again taking over the Marina Bay Sands SkyPark Observation Deck for its annual rooftop showcase.

The event marks the official closing of TOKEN 2049 (the world’s largest Web3 conference) and kicks off Singapore’s Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend from the 57th floor with panoramic city views and a high-calibre line-up that’s just been announced.

Headlining this year’s edition are Italian brothers Alessandro and Federico Fognini, better known as Mind Against.

Globally renowned for their emotionally rich sound that blend melodic synths, gritty percussion, driving basslines, and powerful drums, the duo has built a reputation through releases on their HABITAT imprint as well as influential labels such as Afterlife and Hotflush.

Joining them are Ajna & Samm, whose b2b sets have become highlights of European festivals. Their blend of Afro house, melodic grooves, and raw club energy has drawn support from &ME, Rampa, and ANOTR.

The line-up also features ANONM, Leon, Milam, and Mo-Shi, making for a tightly curated bill that balances international and regional talent.

Adding to the draw is the return of Polygon Live, bringing its 360° spatial audio system to Singapore for what will be its only production in Asia in 2025. The setup places sound around, above, and through the crowd, syncing with stage design and lights to create an immersive environment, which can only be experienced at the event.

“We’ve built the world’s only rooftop party with a spatial sound system and stacked it with a huge lineup. Mix that with Singapore’s skyline and the Grand Prix atmosphere—there’s nothing else that even comes close,” says AFTER 2049 founder Raphael Strauch.
