1965: Swinging Sexy Singapura (the 14th edition of the Rice Ball) will transport guests back to the Swinging ’60s, a time when the streets and clubs of Singapore were already abuzz with life, noise and music, and history was being made every day. Travel back to a time when Singapore was already a cosmopolitan city, blending and bridging East and West with nary a swamp or mudflat in sight! In a heady cocktail of glamour, music and history, rediscover the bustling port that was then known as the Hollywood of the East.
Have a blast in the past as we serve up a sumptuous banquet celebrating the richness and diversity of local cuisine. Revisit the glitz and sparkle of Singapore’s hedonistic club scene – from Tropicana to Barbarella, via Bugis Street – in Cabaret 65, a variety show directed by Ivan Heng and Glen Goei and featuring a galaxy of Singapore’s brightest stars led by Pam Oei, Kumar and Judee Tan.
As DJ Keith Colaco once again transforms the dance floor into a musical fever dream, cha-cha your way into the wee hours of the morning to the rollicking tunes of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Supremes. Trust us – your A Go Go boots were not made for walking!
Marvel at Hublot’s parade of signature Big Bang timepieces, which commemorate yet another significant milestone in its watchmaking journey as 2015 marks the iconic Big Bang series’ tenth anniversary. With the help of long-time partner and luxury watch retailer The Hour Glass, Hublot joins in the celebration of our nation’s jubilee with the ‘Red Dot’ Bang, a set of timepieces exclusive to Singapore. Alongside these commemorative timepieces are Hublot’s contemporary, bold offerings, such as the exquisite Big Bang Pop Art, which is an ode to the pop art era of the early 1960s and apposite to this year’s ball. These lavish timepieces will be sure to dazzle and captivate throughout the evening!
