May 3
X marks the spot Teume, your TREASURE is here! Global K-pop sensation TREASURE is back with their highly anticipated [PULSE ON] tour, and this one hits straight to the heart. Fresh off the success of LOVE PULSE, the group returns with upgraded production, striking visuals, and a setlist personally curated by the members themselves. This isn’t just a concert; it’s a reminder of why being Teume feels like striking gold.
May 9
IVE storms the stage with their “SHOW WHAT I AM” tour, and from the first beat, it’s clear they know exactly who they are. With fearless confidence, razor-sharp choreography, and vocals that beat loud like a REBEL HEART, IVE isn’t just showing who they are – they're showing why they’re unforgettable.
May 9
Feel the skyline come alive as FIFTY FIFTY, ØZI, and local favourites WHYLUCAS and KIARA igniting the stage with electrifying sets that keep the crowd floating on the beat. Beyond the music, chill-out spots and picture-perfect corners make it the perfect night with friends. Lose yourself in the music, ride the energy, and leave on CLOUD 9.
Laufey: A Matter of Time Tour
May 19
Witness the artist reinventing jazz for a new generation. Fresh off her second Grammy win, Laufey returns to Singapore with her signature blend of classical and modern pop. Expect a night of rich orchestration, tender storytelling, and a voice that sounds even better in person than it does on vinyl. It’s the perfect mid-week escape for anyone who appreciates real musicianship.
May 15 – May 30
When the city starts to move, follow the light. This year’s Singapore International Festival of Arts explores the theme “Movement,” reimagining light as a living force flowing through the streets and buildings. As the installations glow and shift, the city becomes a canvas of motion and connection, inviting you to slow down and take it all in – perfect for evening strolls, reflective moments, and unforgettable visuals.
