This year is truly shaping up to be an incredible one for local music lovers. Hot on the heels of announcements surrounding pop icon Britney Spears’ and singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran’s upcoming concerts in Singapore, we were rewarded with more good news this week: Foo Fighters is coming to town — specifically the National Stadium — on 26 August. This gig marks the band’s second time performing here after over two decades. They were scheduled to play in 2012, but cancelled the concert due to frontman Dave Grohl’s medical condition.
There’s more: Grammy award-winning DJ Calvin Harris will also swing by our little red dot on 17 September to close the Singapore F1 race event. Other musicians slated to take the stage that weekend include Ariana Grande, The Chainsmokers, Seal and Duran Duran. For those who can’t wait till then, ’80s group Village People — known for disco hits such as Y.M.C.A and In The Navy — is performing tonight at the Sands Theatre at Marina Bay Sands. The concert is held in conjunction with the band’s 40th anniversary.
