Hot off the launch of their new album The Clearing – which was recently nominated for the 2025 Mercury Prize – four-piece British alt-rock band Wolf Alice is set to return for the quartet’s first show since Laneway Festival in 2018. That’s a whole eight years that fans have been waiting for their return, and the band has added plenty of achievements under their belt since then.

Men I Trust aren’t just coming back – they’re gliding in on the kind of dream-pop wave you’ve had on repeat for years. The Canadian indie trio have built a cult following with tracks like 'Show Me How' and 'Numb', and their live shows are just as mesmerising. Fans in Singapore still gush about their luminous 2023 set, where the band’s hypnotic melodies and lush soundscapes felt both intimate and transcendent. Now they’re back with not one but two new albums, Equus Asinus and Equus Caballus. You’re in for a show that’s as gentle as it is stirring. 

When February 3, 2026
Where Arena @ Expo

If you survived the golden age of boyband mania, this one’s calling your name. Westlife returns to Singapore with A Gala Evening, a one-night-only orchestral spectacular on February 3 at the Arena @ Expo. The Irish icons are giving their greatest pop hits a grown-up glow-up, with 'Flying Without Wings', 'You Raise Me Up ’, 'Uptown Girl' and more elevated by the sweeping sounds of the Metropolitan Festival Orchestra. It’s glossy, grand and sentimental, channelling peak pop-era magic with a black-tie twist. It's also a reminder of why Westlife ruled the charts – and our hearts – when boybands reigned supreme. Warm up your vocals because those infectious chart-toppers will have you singing to every lyric.

Where Esplanade Annexe Studio

Heart-on-sleeve soul gets a technicolour glow with Samm Henshaw. The London-born, Nigerian singer-songwriter has a knack for turning raw feeling into big, joyful sound, sliding from tender croons to full-bodied choruses that hit you right in the chest. Blending soul, R&B, indie and funk, Henshaw first caught ears with ‘Only Wanna Be With You’, before ‘How Does It Feel?’, ‘Broke’ and fan favourite ‘Grow’ propelled him onto global playlists and sold-out stages. Praised by many for his “warm yet rough-hewn voice”, his latest album It Could Be Worse channels heartbreak into something hopeful, cathartic and alive.

Few voices hit like a Bryan Adams chorus – instant, anthemic and steeped in rock ’n’ roll memory. The legendary hitmaker returns to Singapore with his Roll With the Punches Tour, landing at the Arena @ Expo on February 7 for a night of fist-pumping nostalgia and full-throttle energy. Look forward to the classics that defined car radios and concert singalongs like 'Summer of ’69', '(Everything I Do) I Do It for You', 'Heaven' and 'Run to You', delivered with the same grit and heart that made Adams a global force. With over four decades of era-shaping hits behind him, he remains a master showman, effortlessly bouncing between power ballads and arena-ready rock.

You best believe there’ll be thunderous riffs, dual-vocal drama and the cinematic intensity that’s earned them a fiercely loyal global following and over two million records sold.

If slow jams had a velvet texture, they’d probably sound like Giveon. The seven-time Grammy-nominated R&B star behind hits like ‘Heartbreak Anniversary’, ‘Twenties,’ and ‘Like I Want You’ has announced his first-ever Singapore show. And if that’s not enough to send you spiralling into your softest playlist, remember: this is the same man whose voice helped turn ‘Peaches’ into a global earworm alongside Justin Bieber and Daniel Caesar. In true Giveon style, he’s now packing up the emotions, strings, horns and an eight-to-ten–piece band for a world tour, including a stop in Singapore, celebrating his sophomore album which has critics swooning.
