Noise complaints force Tanjong Pagar venue to suspend outdoor music events
Organisers say they have lost access to a key venue for large-scale performances following noise-related complaints from residents. The Keppel Road location's capacity and accessibility had made it a preferred choice for events at competitive rates.

Outdoor music events at Tanjong Pagar Distripark have been halted following complaints about noise levels, forcing event organisers to seek alternative venues for their programmes.
The Keppel Road facility had served as a popular destination for large-scale performances, offering organisers a combination of adequate capacity, good accessibility and competitive rental rates that were difficult to find elsewhere in Singapore.
Organisers have expressed concern about the limited availability of comparably suitable venues at affordable prices. Finding alternative spaces that meet the technical and logistical requirements of major events while remaining financially viable presents a significant challenge.
The suspension highlights the ongoing tension between entertainment activities and residential amenity in mixed-use commercial districts. No timeline has been provided for when outdoor music events might resume at the Tanjong Pagar venue.
