TOP 5 events in SG

1. 🎈 Balloon Museum – Pop Air Exhibition (details here)

Now–Aug 31 @ Marina Bay Sands
Imagine strolling under giant, glowing inflatables—funky shapes, vivid colours—right inside MBS. “Pop Air” is your chance to immerse yourself in playful, inflatable installations that double as photo‑ops. It’s art that makes you grin and go, “Did someone just float by?” Don’t walk; float.

2. 🎶 The Music of Studio Ghibli – Original Singers Symphony (details here)

Wed, 11 June @ Star Theatre, 8 PM
An absolutely magical moment for Ghibli fans. Original vocalists—Yoshikazu Mera, Sumi Shimamoto, Azumi Inoue (with her talented daughter Yuyu)—will sing iconic melodies live, backed by the Tokyo Asia Orchestra. This is one night only, so treat yourself to that Kiki’s Delivery Service nostalgia IRL.

3. 🎵 Crossing Cultures @ ACM: Listening Pleasures (details here)

Fri–Sun, 13–15 June @ Asian Civilisations Museum
This weekend, ACM becomes a live concert venue. There’s something for every ear:

• Friday: A top-secret mini‑gig (only the fastest people to book get in).

• Sunday: Storytelling with Buddhist sculptures and instruments—a guided meditation to tune your senses.

• All weekend: Pop‑up listening café, ASMR sound bath with Whisperlodge folks.
  Free to enter, but some sessions are ticketed—sign up, show up, chill out.

4. 🍦 Ice Cream Sundays x Darker Than Wax: Haw Par Thrilla #5 (details here)

Sat, 14 June @ Haw Par Villa Culture Courtyard
Ice Cream Sundays & Darker Than Wax return with volume five of Haw Par Thrilla. DJ‑curated tunes, live Electronic Wind Instrument performance by Kaye of DTW, tropical vibes—you’re basically on an exotic deck party minus the ocean breeze. Bring your crew, grab your groove, and maybe a scoop.

5. 💃 La Vie En Bleu Returns – Rooftop Afrobeats (details here)

Sat, 14 June @ Marina Bay Sands rooftop
KUNDA is back in action, headlining the sunset party at MBS rooftop, La Vie En Bleu. Internationally acclaimed DJ FNX OMAR will spin Afrobeats and global grooves. It’s island‑vibes-meets-skyline magic—grab a drink, find the dance floor, and let the rhythm take over.
