There’s a secret spot in Singapore’s nightlife scene, and it’s too good to keep to ourselves. Say hello to AVENUE Singapore – a bougie boogie wonderland hidden inside the colossal Marina Bay Sands, within the same space as its more extroverted sister nightclub MARQUEE Singapore.  And we’ll let you in on another secret: AVENUE has its very own stylish side entrance along Bayfront Avenue, so you don’t even have to navigate inside. Plus, if you’re the designated driver for the night, AVENUE has its own private parking area, which is accessible from within the carpark of The Shoppes – talk about VIP vibes.

Grammy Award-winning electronic DJ and production duo, Alex Pall and Drew Taggart – better known as The Chainsmokers – are bringing their signature cookie-cutter EDM party 'Closer' to you at Arena @ EXPO on June 27. From throwback hits like '#Selfie' and 'Don't Let Me Down' to fresh brangers like 'Addicted' and 'Don't Lie,' the self-proclaimed “frat bro dudes” are firing all cylinders with their signature blend of pop, indie, and high-octane electronic beats. Whether you're here for the emotional drops or arms-in-the-air anthems, loose yourself to the sounds of one of the biggest modern electronic acts.

Get ready to move, groove, and get a little weird in the best way possible – Thundercat is heading back our way with more genre-bending goodness. The Grammy-winning bassist, vocalist, and musical chameleon is set to take the stage with his trusty six-string bass at the Esplanade Concert Hall on May 29 as part of the Mosaic Music Series. Best known for cult favourites like 'Them Changes' and 'Walk On By', the LA native’s live show is as unpredictable as it is unforgettable. ICYMI, he recently hit the Coachella stage as an orange cat with Yo Gabba Gabba! With festival cred from Glastonbury to Fuji Rock, collabs spanning Kendrick Lamar to Childish Gambino, and a Grammy-winning album (It Is What It Is) in his arsenal, this is one wild sonic ride you'd want to take.

Acclaimed British drummer Yussef Dayes is set to bring a 'Tidal Wave' of sonic brilliance to Foo Chow Hall on 3 June – and you’ll want to get swept up in the flow. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill jazz night – The Yussef Dayes Experience is a masterclass in rhythm, soul, and spiritual elevation. Known for his magnetic mix of jazz, funk, and Afrobeat, the drummer is set to perform tracks from his critically adored debut solo album Black Classical Music, which earned him an Ivor Novello Award and Brit Award nods. Move and groove to songs like 'Tioga Pass', 'Rust', and his latest single 'Istanbul'.

If you were a teen in the 2010s, chances are Jason Derulo was on every playlist, from parties to bedrooms. And you can’t just say his name, you have to sing it. But here's another reason to warm up your vocal chops: the multi-hyphenated R&B pop singer (we're including actor and TikTok star to his resume too) is finally performing his first show in Singapore, bringing a setlist packed with bangers like ‘Ridin’ Solo’, ‘Trumpets’, ‘Watcha Say’ and 'Swalla', as well as tracks from his latest album Nu King, to the Star Theatre stage on June 25. With slick choreography, smooth vocals, and plenty of nostalgia, you're in for a Wiggle'-worthy night.

Modern jazz visionary Kamasi Washington returns to Singapore on June 5 at Capitol Theatre with his explosive eight-piece band, following his sold-out 2018 show. This time, he’s armed with Fearless Movement, a bold, groove-heavy album that pushes his cosmic sound into thrilling new territory. Think spiritual jazz meets funk, hip-hop, and radical joy, with collaborators like André 3000, Thundercat, and George Clinton in the mix. Live, it’s a transcendental experience – fiery, soulful, and deeply moving – especially when Washington wields his saxophone on tracks like ‘Dream State’ and ‘Prologue,’ lifting the crowd to new heights.

You've listened to his music, including the hottest collaborations with some of the biggest names in the game, and now, alternative R&B singer, songwriter, and record producer James Blake is about to make his first-ever headline debut in Singapore on July 22 at The Star Theatre. The UK’s boundary-pushing artiste is renowned for blending soulful electronics with raw emotion, crafting a sound that’s uniquely his own. From the Mercury Prize-winning Overgrown to the Grammy-nominated Assume Form and Playing Robots Into Heaven, Blake’s artistry defies genres and expectations. Behind the scenes, he’s shaped iconic albums by Frank Ocean, Kendrick Lamar, and Beyoncé. This is your rare chance to witness one of music’s most magnetic outliers live. 

Skip Netflix on June 16 – it’s time to catch Jo Koy live and in the flesh at The Star Theatre. That’s right, the Filipino-American stand-up star is bringing his culturally chaotic comedy to Singapore as part of his Just Being Koy tour – and it’s going to be an all-out laugh riot.  From humble beginnings performing in a Las Vegas coffee shop to smashing box office records in Manila, Dubai, Sydney, New York and beyond, there’s no stopping Jo Koy. His secret sauce? Roasting his mum (lovingly – and definitely not the “yo mama” kind), and serving up brutally accurate takes on parenting and family life that somehow manage to be both hyper-specific and wildly universal. It’s no surprise that his hilariously honest reflections on growing up Filipino, navigating cultural quirks, and surviving family drama have struck a nerve – and the funny bone – of audiences around the world.  With four Netflix specials including the latest Live From Brooklyn, a Hollywood film based on his life experiences, a best-selling memoir, and a Billboard-topping comedy album, Koy isn’t just hilarious – he’s a phenomenon. And you won’t want to miss this comedy show that also doubles as a spicy, shouty, side-splitting family reunion. Tickets start from $108. Get yours here.

Brace yourself for a throwback to the 90s as the 'End of the Road' leads straight to The Star Theatre on May 23. R&B legends Boyz II Men are back for one night only, promising an evening of soul, swoon, and serious nostalgia. Expect to belt out 'I'll Make Love to You', sway to 'One Sweet Day', and maybe even shed a little tear (no judgement). With a career spanning three decades, four Grammy Awards, and more slow-dance jams than you can count, Boyz II Men are ready to serve up 'Motownphilly' magic, and you won't want to miss it. After all, they’re not just any R&B group – they’re the best-selling one of all time.

There are movie nights, and then there’s Hendrick’s Sunset Cinema. Returning to Tanjong Beach, Sentosa from May 8 to 25, this much-loved alfresco film fest delivers a lush blend of balmy sea breeze, golden-hour cocktails, and award-winning titles under the stars.  But this isn’t your typical outdoor film screening – it’s a beachside bash complete with live DJ sets, Hendrick’s Gin cocktails, and tasty bites. Plus, you’ll be sinking into a deckchair with state-of-the-art wireless headphones, giving you full control over the volume and crisp surround sound with every dramatic gasp, whispered confession, or plot twist – all without the distraction of mid-movie chatter. This year's lineup is seriously strong. Expect a mix of buzz-worthy new releases, acclaimed favourites, and cult classics that feel made for watching under the night sky. Secure your seats to body horror The Substance (May 8), pope-litical thriller Conclave (May 17), action-packed sequel Gladiator II (May 19), gravity-defying musical Wicked (May 24), and more. Must-see biopics are on the cards too, with Robbie Williams monkeying around in Better Man (May 10 and 23), and Pharrell Williams in Lego form in Piece by Piece (May 18). Closing the show is none other than Steven Spielberg’s timeless E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (May 25).  Tickets are $44.80, including a Hendrick’s Gin cocktail, beach deckchair, wireless headphones, and shuttle service to Harbourfront MRT. Gates open at 5.30pm, with screenings starting at 7.45

Drift into a haze of jangly guitars and wistful lyricism as Beach Fossils return to Singapore after seven long years, bringing their signature brand of dreamy, sun-drenched lo-fi pop tunes to Esplanade Annex Studio. What began as Dustin Payseur’s DIY solo project from the New York underground in the 2010s has evolved into a four-piece known for sonic introspection and emotional clarity. Now, joined by longtime members Tommy Davidson, Jack Doyle Smith, and Anton Hochheim, the band is back with material from 2023’s Bunny, alongside crowd favourites such as 'Down the Line' and 'Sleep Apnea'. Expect a set steeped in nostalgia, raw beauty, and the bittersweet soundtrack of growing up – a night of shimmering chords and soft heartbreak not to be missed.

Step into the ethereal as Korean-Canadian multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Luna Li brings her dreamy blend of baroque-pop, soft rock and glittery psych-folk to Singapore for the very first time as part of her debut Asia tour. From the internet-breaking harp loops of 'Afterglow' to the lush melancholy of 'Silver Into Rain', Luna Li’s music feels like stardust bottled and set to melody. Now riding high off her latest record When a Thought Grows Wings, she's set to lift you at Esplanade Annex Studio with her captivating blend of harp ripples, jazz flute, and gritty riffs.

Brace yourself for a sonic suckerpunch as Death From Above 1979 bring two decades of their signature dance-punk sound to Singapore as part of Esplanade's Mosaic Music Series. Celebrating 20 years of their genre-defying debut You’re a Woman, I’m a Machine, the Canadian duo are primed to rip through their cult classic and more – no filler, all killer. Expect seismic basslines, thunderous drums, and a night that 'Romantic Rights' will barely survive. The Esplanade Annexe Studio won’t know what hit it – and don’t be shocked if it erupts into a full-blown mosh pit.

If you tuned in to the UEFA Champions League action early this morning, you’d know that Arsenal have secured their spot in the semi-finals, after knocking out last season’s champs Real Madrid in a thrilling clash. The Gunners are on fire, and just when you thought the hype couldn’t get any bigger, here’s the kicker: Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, and co are bringing the heat to Singapore this July. Joining them are Italian giants AC Milan and fellow Premier League side Newcastle United for what’s shaping up to be one of the biggest sporting events in Singapore this year: the Singapore Festival of Football. It all goes down at the iconic National Stadium, with two match days set for July 23 and 27.   Photograph: Singapore Festival of Football   What is the Singapore Festival of Football? Launched in 2023 as part of a five-year partnership, the Singapore Festival of Football brings elite European clubs to our shores every other year. Its debut featured English clubs Liverpool FC, Tottenham Hotspur, and Leicester City FC as well as German powerhouse Bayern Munich, drawing tens of thousands of fans and selling out seats faster than you could shout "VAR!"  This year, the stakes feel even bigger. Not only are Arsenal returning to Singapore for the first time since their 2018 International Champions Cup appearance, but AC Milan are making their long-awaited Singapore debut. Add the star power of Newcastle United into the mix, and you’ve got a trio that promises edge-of-your-seat action

There’s something irresistible about cocktails that flirt with local flavours – and TUX Bar & Lounge is pouring out a whole new reason to sip. Its latest lineup of signature cocktails ($28 each) is a love letter to Singapore – just in time for SG60. The Old Fashioned Nonya is a pandan-infused spin on the whisky classic. It’s like a liquid nonya kueh, with gula melaka notes lingering gently at the end of every sip, making for a pleasant aftertaste.    Photograph: TUX Bar & Lounge at Carlton Hotel Singapore   Then there’s Bandung Unplugged, which defies logic. It looks crystal clear but delivers all the milky, rose-syrupy goodness of the drink your auntie used to make – only this time with vodka. Wondering how it gets that translucent look? Here’s the inside scoop: milk-washing – a clever technique where milk is curdled and strained, leaving behind a silky, clarified drink with all the flavour and none of the cloudiness. For something spicier, the Gin-Ken Chilli Sour is a bold gin tribute to chicken rice, with garlic, chilli padi, ginger and lime. It’s punchy, complex, and definitely one for the adventurous palate. A more citrusy alternative is the Laksa Margarita, which blends tequila with laksa leaf and lemongrass for a tangy, tropical kick.   Photograph: TUX Bar & Lounge at Carlton Hotel Singapore   But if there’s one showstopper we can’t stop talking about, it’s the BTC (aka Boba Tea Cocktail). With rum, black tea, and house-made chewy pearls, it’s a playful finish to y

There’s no season quite like summer in Europe. From June to September, the continent basks in endless sunshine, where temperatures soar to a toasty 30 degrees – ideal for those who love the warmth without Singapore’s humidity. Imagine spending long, lazy days in the Mediterranean, sipping cocktails on a terrace in the French Alps, or strolling through charming cobblestone streets. With the days stretching longer, especially in the north where the sun sets as late as midnight, you’ll have more time to explore, eat, and celebrate under the golden sky. Once you experience it, you’ll understand why Europeans love summertime.   Photograph: Shutterstock   Key events that make summer in Europe unforgettable  If you’re into music, Glastonbury Festival in England and Primavera Sound in Barcelona are bucket list must-haves. For something more eclectic, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is Europe’s largest arts festival, turning the Scottish city into a hub of comedy, theatre, and performances.  Immerse in age-old traditions with the Midsummer Festival in cities like Stockholm and Gothenburg, where locals celebrate the summer solstice with dancing, feasting, and good company. Or if you’re in Spain, the UNESCO-listed La Patum de Berga in Catalonia celebrates Corpus Christi with parades, fireworks, and giant puppets.    Photograph: Emirates Airline   Explore 40 incredible destinations in Europe with Emirates  So, how do you get there?

From March 20 to 23, catch a stellar lineup of top golfers from around the world, including English star Paul Casey, DP World Tour winners Haotong Li (China), Keita Nakajima (Japan) and Kiradech Aphibarnrat (Thailand), who was last year’s runner-up. Adding firepower to the fairway are PGA Tour winners Robert MacIntyre and Jimmy Walker. Singapore’s very own 17-year-old Brayden Lee is also making waves, stepping up for his biggest challenge yet after qualifying for the event – a must-watch moment for golf fans.  But this isn’t just about the competition – the Porsche Singapore Classic is teeing up an experience that goes beyond the greens. Swing by the spectator village, where a number of food trucks await to keep you fuelled with tasty street eats.  Photograph: Porsche Singapore Classic Once you’re re-energised, put your skills to the test with Greenside Tic-Tac-Toe or try balancing 18 golf balls on 18 tees as fast as you can at the Par-Tee Time station. Then try your luck at the Birdie Blitz Rewards gashapon machine for prizes or take aim in the daily putting qualifier – nail it, and you could be driving home in a brand-new Porsche Taycan Turbo S.

And yes, that includes things I never thought I’d willingly eat like toothpaste, mouthwash, and cat food. But more on that later.   Photograph: ANDSOFORTH   In celebration of its 10th anniversary this year, the award-winning immersive theatrical dining company has created an experience that’s part dinner party, part fever dream, and entirely unlike your childhood memories of Alice in Wonderland.

Then came the curveballs: salmon-based cat food, cream cheese toothpaste with crackers, and a
