TL;DR – Time to partay.
He came, sang, danced and played his heart out on the piano and now he’s back. Earlier this year, there was a lot of hype about Jay Chou returning to Singapore and he will be back this weekend!
As with every concert by Jay, we are sure this will be another visual feast with his show-stopping outfits, stage props, beautiful motion graphics and visual effects. Remember how at his previous concert, the stage morphed into a ghostly graveyard, a Victorian castle and even a huge aquarium complete with a mermaid swimming in the background?
Happening this September 14 to 16, the Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix returns for its 11th year. Besides Jay Chou, here are some of the top music acts to look out for.
1) Martin Garrix
Martin Garrix has risen to global stardom in pop as well as electronic circles, and yet he’s far from being done. Dance music’s freshest talent has headlined festivals around the globe, founded a label and mentored other artists and won the #1 spot in DJ Mag’s Top 100 twice.

4) M1LDL1FE
Formerly known as Take Two, M1LDL1FE cuts across the indie-pop grain, weaving together lush electronic textures and eclectic dance grooves into the pop sensibilities of guitar-driven indie music of the early 2000s. They debuted their first EP, “PAIRS” in 2015, receiving critical acclaim from the local press and were slated to be “one of the most exhilarating new acts to emerge from the burgeoning indie-pop scene”. In 2017, following the departure of guitarist Johnathan Lim, the quartet renamed themselves M1LDL1FE. Armed with a fresh and grittier sonic palette, the band released their eponymous EP in July, followed by a sold out EP launch show in August that same year.

5) Miss Lou
Singapore’s glamour songbird Miss Lou is a classic vintage pop artist and songwriter who blends old-school vocal stylings with modern sensibilities. Described as a born-again jazz soul, her songs are snapshots of 21st century life told in the language of doo-wop, swing, and soul. The lead single from her debut EP, “More Than Just That Bass”, reached #9 on Spotify’s Viral 50 chart for all genres. Miss Lou’s music has also made it onto Apple Music’s The A-List: Singapore Music, and Spotify’s Singapore’s Top Acts playlist.
