Last year, Zouk Group CEO Andrew Li emphasised the club’s commitment to guest safety as the “utmost priority” while expressing enthusiasm to restart the party. As he told The Edge Singapore last year: “We will be bringing in top-tier international DJs and dynamic club nights.” ZoukOut, the group’s popular large-scale outdoor event first held in 2000, returned in December 2022 after a three-year hiatus, featuring DJs Tiesto and Armin van Buuren as headline acts.
On April 20 last year, the popular nightclub Zouk Singapore reopened in Clarke Quay to much fanfare. All 500 tickets were sold out on a typical Wednesday night. It was an encouraging sign that things were looking up after many industries, including nightlife, had been decimated during the pandemic. Singapore’s multi-ministry task force ordered the closure of bars, cinemas, and entertainment outlets from March 26, 2020. It had taken two years for the nightlife industry, including bars and discotheques, to reopen.
Zouk’s reopening this year introduced a new generation of clubbers to the legendary club founded in 1991. Before the pandemic, it could host up to 2,000 people.
