Pulse Events Presents: S2O Los Angeles

Makes Waves in West Coast Debut: Over 10,000 Fans Attend The World’s Wettest Party at BMO Stadium

This past weekend, the world-renowned S2O Festival, known globally as “The World’s Wettest Party,” made its historic Los Angeles debut and the results were nothing short of spectacular. On Saturday, September 27th, more than 10,000 fans gathered at the BMO Stadium Festival Grounds for a groundbreaking cultural and musical celebration that fused Thailand’s Songkran tradition with world-class electronic music.

Fans were treated to a powerhouse lineup including Afrojack, Steve Aoki, R3HAB, Elephante, Yetep, Cyberpunk, NTR, and Obers. The night was packed with iconic moments, from Steve Aoki’s legendary ‘Cake Face’ stunt, with 20 custom cakes prepared exclusively by Magnolia Bakery, to the global debut of HO HO ONE, the new duo from Eric Kwok and Dan James Ting.

R3HAB delivered a standout set highlighted by an unprecedented collaboration with PUBG Mobile, bringing gaming culture to the stage in front of thousands. Rising stars NTR and Cyberpunk both left lasting impressions, with NTR’s I.C.E. praising the hospitality of the event team, and Cyberpunk calling the night “pure magic.”

At the heart of the experience was S2O’s iconic main stage, synchronizing high-tech water cannons with music in real time. Fans were showered with water to the rhythm of the music  amplifying both the music and the spirit of Songkran, a tradition that celebrates renewal, refreshment, and unity. The festival concept aims to harness the power of water as an elemental force of joy and unity while transcending cultural boundaries to create unique experiences for attendees worldwide. From Thailand to Los Angeles, S2O continues to expand on its reputation for its innovative blend of electronic dance music and spectacular water effects.
