For over two decades, Wicked Aura have filled Singapore street parties and festivals with the rhythm of Afro-Brazilian batucada. As they mark their 23rd anniversary, the music collective are celebrating the only way they know how: by throwing one heck of a party. This Sunday, they’ll take over Ann Siang Hill for an afternoon of wickedly infectious beats and good vibes, with some (equally wicked) food and drinks on the side, of course. But a performance by Wicked Aura isn’t all you’ll get to look forward to. To ramp up the festivities, they’ve invited some of their friends to fill the streets with non-stop music and lively energy. Expect DJ sets, percussion parades and a live reggae show. The lineup also features a Capoeira demonstration by Saudação Capoeira Singapore and an introduction to WCKD BRG8, the group’s next generation of percussionists. As part of the celebrations, Wicked Aura are also helping raise funds for local grassroots humanitarian organisation Love Aid SG. A percentage of the bar sales will go towards supporting its efforts in Gaza and its community outreach programmes.

It’s a huge month for jazz and jazz lovers this month. If you’re already swinging by Esplanade’s Jazz in July festival, then make sure to add Filmhouse’s Jazz in Film to your list. Throughout the month, jazz hits the silver screen with a curated lineup of films inspired by the music and the musicians (fictional and not) behind it.

Titled Days That Slip Away Untouched, the exhibition features paintings, sculptures and sound installations that reference the work of acclaimed painters such as Raden Saleh, Tomás Sánchez, and Walter Spies. Dive into surreal landscapes and inspect uncanny hybrid figures that contrast the fast-paced tech world with the slowness of physical art-making. The exhibition is also a meditation on collaboration, with each artwork born through a shared creative process between Hahan, his studio artisans and the Ace House Collective.

Orchid Extravaganza: Rhythm of the Rainforest

Orchid Extravaganza: Rhythm of the Rainforest

This year’s Orchid Extravaganza at Gardens by the Bay is more than a floral showcase – it’s a passport to Indonesia. The annual show, which celebrates the shared roots of Southeast Asia, turns to the emerald of the equator to highlight its vibrant cultural heritage and rich biodiversity, home to at least 5,000 orchid species. In this edition, more than 7,000 orchids are on display, including some of Indonesia’s native varieties such as the antelope orchid, ground orchid and moon orchid. One of the biggest highlights is the tiger orchid, also known as “queen of the orchids”. It’s the world’s largest orchid species, which can grow at least 2 metres in height. These striking blooms are surrounded by elements of wayang kulit and nine intricate woven sculptures that pay tribute to the flora, fauna and folklore in the Nusantara. They’re handcrafted by 27 Balinese artisans using the traditional anyaman weaving technique, turning leaves into larger-than-life depictions of beloved icons such as the Komodo dragon and Sumatran tiger. The showcase is presented alongside Masa Singapore, a month-long Indonesian festival centred on its creative scene and culture, and held in conjunction with SG Garden Festival 2026.

The glamourous trailer for Crazy Rich Asians is here – and we try to spot all the Singapore landmarks

Unless you've been living under a rock, then you've probably already heard about Hollywood's upcoming summer rom-com Crazy Rich Asians. Based on Singaporean author Kevin Kwan's best-selling novel of the same name, the film tells the story of a woman who travels to Singapore to meet with her boyfriend's family for the very first time – and they're nothing like what she expects them to be. Starring Constance Wu and Henry Golding, the movie takes a peek into the extra lavish and glitzy lives of, well, crazy rich Asians. And it's just dropped its latest trailer. The cast and crew were seen filming here last June, so we weren't surprised to see the clip peppered with glamorous shots of the city.

52 Weeks of #ExcitingSG: Week 10 with Willy Tan

52 Weeks of #ExcitingSG: Week 10 with Willy Tan

Welcome to Time Out Singapore's 52 Weeks of #ExcitingSG – our commitment to showing you the best of what's going on in the city this week. Every Monday, a guest writer who's "in" with the scene shares a recommendation on what to see, eat, do or buy in the city. This week, we chat with Willy Tan of content agency Aging Youth, which specialises in talent management and music publishing, to talk about the local music scene and his favourite homegrown heroes. What gets you excited about Singapore? I don’t think there’s just one singular thing that gets me excited. It’s the place where I grew up – my family and friends are here. There are always things to do and places to hang out. In fact, sometimes, there might be too many events to go to, but I think that's actually a good problem. #PassionMadePossible! Where’s your favourite place to listen to live music in Singapore? I’ve always loved Fort Canning Green as a venue. It’s spacious and the best part, no one gets in your face too much. Plus it's got a gentle slope, so everyone gets a decent view of the stage.  What are your thoughts on the current local music scene?  I guess technology pushed the music discovery process, allowing more Singaporeans to gain faster and get easier access to new music content. The underground and indie kids will remain the same. They will be there to support their friends and the acts they like. When they grow older with different responsibilities in life, they move on and the next generation of

52 Weeks of #ExcitingSG: Week 8 with Kirsten Tan

Welcome to Time Out Singapore's 52 Weeks of #ExcitingSG – our commitment to showing you the best of what's going on in the city this week.

It's probably too early to be discussing anything Halloween-related right now, but fans of Stranger Things would wanna scooch a lil closer. Universal Studios Singapore is partnering with Netflix for the first time to bring to life the award-winning supernatural television series at this year's edition of the scare festival. Make like Mike, Eleven and the gang as you walk through the Hawkins National Laboratory, the Byers' living room and, of course, the hair-raising Upside Down. Oh, and we hear the Demogorgon will be lurking around too – but keep those slingshots (or wrist-rockets) in your pockets, please. For a sneak peek of what's gonna go down this Halloween, check out the video below. Halloween Horror Nights return to Resorts World Sentosa from Sep 28 to Oct 31. Stay updated on its website.
