In this week’s pick of to things to do in Singapore, we get beered up as Beerfest Asia rolls back into town, get excited about the return of UK pop sensation Ellie Goulding, celebrate urban cool at Singapore Street Festival and soak up some fine sounds at Hostess Club Weekender. If all those antics get you a bit cream crackered then we have the perfect solution – mellow out at The Big Ohm Theory Marketplace. Check out our pick of top events right here:
1. Beer it up at Beerfest Asia 2014
Beer lovers rejoice as the 6th edition of the region’s biggest, baddest beer fest returns to our shores. Featuring more than 300 types of beer from all over the world, live stage performances, a comedy club, beer auctions and tasting workshops, it’s likely to get messy so get the Alka Seltzer at the ready.
Beerfest Asia 2014 is taking place on 12th – 14th June at Marina Promenade, Marina Bay. For more information and ticketing see SISTIC here.
2. Catch UK pop sensation Ellie Goulding
Global chart-topper Ellie Goulding is back in Singapore with an electric show proving she is no flash in the pan sensation. Following a sold out show at the Esplanade Concert Hall in February 2013, if you missed her the first time round, don’t miss a second chance to catch one of the most talked about acts of now.
Ellie Goulding is performing on 13th June at The Star Theatre, The Star Performing Arts Centre, 1 Vista Exchange Green, 04-01, Singapore, 138617. For more information and ticketing see SISTIC here.
3. Get urban at Singapore Street Festival
Singapore Street Festival (SSF) returns for its 13th year and is a chance to catch bad-ass breakdancers do their thing, some hardcore parkour and belly dance performances, a live graffiti face-off plus lots more. If you love all things urban, or maybe just need to get a bit or urban cool on, then head on down.
Singapore Street Festival is taking place from 12th June – 3rd July at Far East Plaza, 14 Scotts Road, Singapore, 228213. For more information see the SFF website here.
4. Lap up sound live sounds at Hostess Club Weekender
The latest entrant to the local indie music festival scene which is brilliantly curated by the folks at Hostess Asia is back for its second year. See the return of indie rock goddess Cat Power, the exceedingly hip trio Blonde Redhead and the beautifully fragile Perfume Genius to our sunny shores, and welcome first timers like the mysteriously hooded SOHN and Krautrock-influenced quintet TOY.
Hostess Club Weekend is taking place on 14th June at Infinite Studios, Media Circle, 709 North Bridge Road, Singapore, 198681. For more information on ticketing see Facebook event page here.
5. Feed your soul at The Big Ohm Theory Marketplace
Shop, eat, rest, catch up, do some yoga, meditate, or practice some reiki in this 2-day holistic marketplace which will bring together a variety of organic produce, clothes, up-cycle knick knacks and restored furniture all in the name of Ohmmmmmmm.
The Big Ohm Theory Marketplace is taking place on 14th & 15th June at National Design Centre, 111 Middle Rd, Singapore, 188969. For more information see The Big Ohm Theory Marketplace Facebook page here.
