Guest DJs XTVA and Shaun Nocturnals will spin the house and techno on October 26 and pass the baton to DJ Tang and DJ Kong for their hip-hop bangers and throwback beats on the 30th. After your trials, ascend to the highest bar in Singapore where you’ll be greeted at Nova’s pearly gates with stunning city views and a supernova installation by renowned light artist Jun Ong. Celebrate your journey to the Afterlife with glasses of rosé, then party it up on your first day in heaven to bass house, trap, and techno by LENERD & Zushan.
