In addition, this year’s Spring Scream is adding a “hip-hop element,” featuring hip-hop master MC HotDog. Organizers have gone all out for the Spring Scream Hengchun EDM party, inviting internationally renowned DJs such as German EDM god ATB, Dutch chart-topping pioneer RANK 1, and super DJ duo Super8 & Tab. The five major music categories represented at this year’s Spring Scream Music Festival are said to be the most diverse in the festival’s history.
The “Spring Scream Awards,” created for independent music creators, is open to anyone who loves music and enjoys sharing it. Winners can receive cash prizes, one night’s accommodation in Kenting, and a performance slot on the main Spring Scream stage. Meanwhile, the returning “Spring Scream Beautiful Girl Contest” will have netizens and live audiences vote for the most beautiful Spring Scream girl. The top 100 entrants will receive free shuttle bus rides to Kenting provided by the organizers, along with tickets to the Hengchun EDM party. The top 10 will also get free accommodation and a signed CD from EDM god ATB. Registration for both contests begins today. In addition to these selection events, this year will also continue the beach cleanup campaign and the event that gives away commemorative T-shirts, calling on everyone to love the Earth and love Kenting!

As always, the event site features many special art installations. Not only will a beer company set up a tropical-style thatched hut on-site, but there will also be the “ABSOLUT Ice Bar,” previously featured in Stockholm, Sweden and London, UK, brought to the Spring Scream Music Festival. The bar, built entirely from massive ice blocks, offers visitors an immediate step into a minus-10-degree snowy wonderland.
