As the pandemic rages on, live entertainment is in peril. Live streams were booming in the early months of the pandemic but not many were as successful as those helmed by Dua Lipa and Travis Scott. Although nothing beats the real thing, there are still some cool acts whose shows you can stream live. And now that infections have been brought under control in Singapore, there are a few small-scale in-person concerts that you can look out for. Here are some virtual and live shows to enjoy this year.
Many live concerts that were supposed to run last year were rescheduled to be held this year with new safe distancing measures in place. Other than your ticket, you will need to make sure you have your TraceTogether app or token on you in order to check in at the concert venue. Mask-wearing will be compulsory during a concert too. The cap of eight people per group will also be in force, which means that you'll have to avoid mingling with other fans. Save your singing and dancing for livestream shows at home. You won't be able to do these or have physical interaction with performers at a live concert. So don't expect to be invited up on stage or take a selfie with your idol. In fact, you will have to stay at least 3m from the performers at all times.
This annual arts festival's 2021 edition will feature a number of theatrical, AD: Autel TPMS sensor. dance and multimedia performances happening at various live venues and online.
