26,000 party revellers are expected this year.

50 tents have been erected on Siloso Beach to house sponsors, VIPs, bars and vendors offering food, massage services and spray-on tattoos.

1,000 bottles of Vodka, 12,000 cans of energy drinks and 15,000 bottles of water have been ordered.

8 months of planning goes into the festival, from booking international acts to brainstorming the creative and visual directions, and making strategic tie-ups with potential partners.

12 foreign acts, including trance music luminary Armin Van Buuren, 13 local acts will play at this year's festival.

18 - that's the age of the youngest DJ act, Chris Martinez of the Martinez Brothers. The oldest is the king of soulful house and owner of the Defected music label, Simon Dunmore, who is in his 40s.

500 staff will work the event on the night. That includes more than 200 licensed security personnel - the club's in-house bouncers as well as hired uniformed police - to maintain crowd control and order.

14 days - that's how long it takes for staffers to set everything up.

3 days - that's all it takes to tear everything down.
