This December, Singapore’s biggest homegrown music celebration comes to life with Sing60 Music Festival, a vibrant, two-day outdoor festival at Fort Canning Park on 6 & 7 December 2025. Organised by The Rice Company Limited (TRCL) and produced by Global Cultural Alliance (GCA), Sing60 marks a new milestone in Singapore’s musical journey – spotlighting the evolution of homegrown sound over the past 60 years. From iconic pop anthems to fresh releases and inventive reinterpretations, Sing60 bridges generations in a vibrant celebration of Singapore’s ever-evolving musical landscape.
Building on the success of Sing50 in 2015 which celebrated Singapore’s Golden Jubilee with a historic concert at the Singapore Sports Hub, Sing60 reimagines the national concert as a dynamic multi-stage outdoor festival. It is a bold statement on the strength and diversity of Singapore's music landscape and a platform for the next wave of talent.
Performances at Sing60 will take place across two stages at Fort Canning Park – Fort Canning Green and the Battlebox – featuring three distinct programming strands:
- Homegrown Icons showcases Singapore’s most beloved solo artists and iconic voices helmed by Orangedot Productions and Music & Movement with Kenn C as Music Director.
- Bandwagon Sessions, curated by Southeast Asia’s leading music media platform Bandwagon, showcases influential indie, alternative, and legacy bands that have shaped Singapore’s music scene across generations.
- Over at the Battlebox, Life in Arpeggio’s Kevin Ho and creative producer Esther Goh present Bunker B2B, an intergenerational series of back-to-back DJ sets that bridges Singapore’s electronic music pioneers with the next wave of sonic innovators.
And to further celebrate Singapore’s vibrant creative community, F ZINE – documentor of style and youth culture – has curated the Festival Village, which features some of the most exciting independent design and lifestyle brands today.
Homegrown Icons (Fort Canning Green)
Experience headline performances by Benjamin Kheng, Charlie Lim, Corrinne May, Dru Chen, Glenn Yong, Iman Fandi, Imran Ajmain, LADY KASH, lullaboy, Mavis Hee, Shabir Sulthan, shazza, Shye, and the Talentime All-Stars (Ann Hussein, Clement Chow, Faridah Ali, Gerry Rezel, Max Surin). As part of the Main Show, these artists will deliver an unforgettable blend of their own original music and special covers of songs by Singaporean musicians who have inspired or shaped their journeys — creating powerful, one-night-only tributes to the nation’s musical heritage.
The line-up also includes a newly commissioned opening dance number by Under The Bridge collective and a special ChildAid segment sponsored by UOB, featuring Amni Musfirah and ChildAid Alumni, celebrating the next generation of talent and the transformative power of music. In addition, the Gift-A-Guitar showcase will spotlight young performers who have gained access to music education through the initiative, underscoring the festival’s pay-it-forward ethos.
Bandwagon Sessions (Fort Canning Green)
Curated by Bandwagon – Southeast Asia’s leading music media platform, founded and headquartered in Singapore – Bandwagon Sessions is a tribute to the indie and alternative bands that have shaped, sustained, and redefined Singapore’s music scene over the years. For over 14 years, Bandwagon has championed homegrown musicians, often providing them with their first spotlight, documenting their journeys, and celebrating their milestones. With this legacy of supporting homegrown talent, the segment brings together a powerful lineup of artists recognised for their distinctive sounds and creative endurance.
Taking on a “Through The Ages” approach, Bandwagon Sessions showcases Legacy, Mainstay, and Youth bands performing both original music and covers of Singaporean songs that inspired them.
Audiences can look forward to surprise collaborations and genre-spanning sets from A Vacant Affair, Caracal, Carpet Golf, Curb, Motifs, Pleasantry, sub:shaman, The Great Spy Experiment, Tiramisu featuring Bloco Singapura, and Vegtable x Intermission.
Bunker B2B (Battlebox)
Step into a WWII bunker transformed into a sonic laboratory with Bunker B2B, co-curated by Life In Arpeggio’s Kevin Ho and creative producer Esther Goh. Built on a curatorial approach of “B2B Generations”, the programme pairs Singapore’s veteran DJs with rising talents in rare back-to-back (b2b) sets that weave together different eras of artistry and spotlight the continuity of Singapore’s electronic music scene.
Expect dynamic collaborations such as Aldrin b2b Loyboy, Aresha b2b Krstn, Ollie Des b2b HBN, EJ Missy b2b Taz Angullia, Darren Dubwise b2b DJ New Masculine, and Ferng b2b GTHB. The stage also features bold live performances by INTRGNT x Sgstingray and sl_owtalk x Deførmed, pushing the boundaries of electronic sound. A second room offers immersive ambient journeys with Debbie Chia b2b The Weatherman and Jean Reiki b2b Mervin Wong, alongside vinyl-only explorations by Itch b2b Sadat and KidG b2b Bongomann.
From house and hip-hop to techno, bass, and experimental, Bunker B2B captures the thriving, ever-evolving pulse of Singapore’s electronic music scene.
Festival Village (Fort Canning Green)
Beyond the music, Sing60 will feature the vibrant Festival Village, co-curated with F ZINE – the fashion-forward, youth-focused media brand formerly known as FEMALE. The Village will showcase a carefully curated mix of homegrown food, artisanal crafts, fashion, and lifestyle brands – all embodying the festival’s “Made in Singapore” spirit. Designed as a lively marketplace celebrating Singapore’s creative industries, it offers something for everyone – from families to millennials and Gen Z – ensuring that Sing60 is as much a cultural experience as it is a music festival.
Lee Suan Hiang, Chairman of the Sing60 Committee says: “As Singapore marks 60 years of nationhood, this festival stands as a cultural milestone. It is not only a celebration of six decades of music, but also a reflection of how the arts have shaped our national identity, binding us together across communities and generations as we look toward the future.”
Driving the festival’s creative direction are Nicholas Tee, Lim Sek, and Jeremiah Choy, each bringing unparalleled expertise to the event: Nicholas Tee, Festival Director and Head of Artistic Development at Global Cultural Alliance, shares: “Sing60 Music Festival is a powerful statement on the strength and diversity of Singapore’s homegrown music. It celebrates the sounds that define our nation – across languages, genres, and generations – and shows how our music continues to evolve while staying rooted in who we are.”
Adding to this, Creative Directors Jeremiah Choy and Lim Sek highlight the festival’s inclusive vision: “Sing60 Music Festival is about the power of music to connect generations. It honours six decades of iconic songs while championing fresh voices, fostering intergenerational collaborations, and embracing the diversity that defines Singapore’s music scene.”
At its heart, Sing60 is more than a music festival – it’s a platform for inclusion and opportunity.
Through a pay-it-forward ticketing model administered by TRCL, every ticket sold enables a child or youth from an underserved background to attend the festival. In doing so, Sing60 not only celebrates Singapore’s music legacy but also invests in nurturing the next generation of talent and audiences.
