A Final Hurrah For Golden Mile Complex

The Beach Road grand dame was given a festival-like farewell by the party community.

One last time at Golden Mile Complex

Golden Mile Complex may be known for the Thai grub and dozens of night clubs and KTV lounges, but for one night only on March 4, the Beach Road landmark became the party spot to be at. The occasion? The Last Mile, a mega pop-up party masterminded by seasoned organisers Ice Cream Sundays and Mugic Soundsystem, as a grand farewell to one of the last vestiges of authentic nightlife spots here before its occupants vacate the premises in May following its en bloc sale.

A mega party spanning the the various venues within Golden Mile Complex took place on March 4. Called The Last Mile, it was a final hurrah for the Beach Road landmark which will be closed in May following its en bloc sale. #FYP #ForYouPage #TikTokSG #TheLastMile #GoldenMile #GoldenMileComplex #BeachRoad #EnBloc #SGArchitecture #SingaporeBuildings #Party #Nightlife #ThaiDisco #ThaiDiscoSG #SiamDiu #SingaporeHistory #SingaporeCulture #Culture #DJ #FemaleMag #FemaleMagazine #FemaleSingapore

As a result, 13 music collectives from the likes of Strange Weather and Darker Than Wax took over five spots across five floors of the sprawling building – bringing with them a gamut of sounds and head bangers ranging from techno to house, punk and funk that fuelled partygoers till 4am. Ahead, see snaps from the night.
