Thailand’s latest guitar hero is hopping from the stage of America’s Got Talent (AGT) to the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
Fresh from winning the 21st season of America’s Got Talent, 16-year-old Nene Royal is heading to Singapore on October 13, 2026, to open for American heavy metal giants Avenged Sevenfold.
Born Rattikarn Amloy, Nene took home the show’s USD $1 million prize after beating nine other finalists. For her final performance, she tackled The White Stripes’ ‘Seven Nation Army’ with vocals and guitar in hand, earning enthusiastic praise from the judges.
Her AGT journey had already gone properly viral. Her audition, a guitar-heavy rendition of The Cranberries’ ‘Zombie’, clocked more than 200 million views across the show’s official online platforms – the biggest audience for any act this season.
Before international TV fame, Nene played guitar at a night market in Phuket for donations. She picked up the instrument at only seven, encouraged by her father, who encouraged her to perform at the market to help fund her lessons.
If you’ve never caught America’s Got Talent, the show is a long-running US talent competition where performers from across the country – and beyond – take their shot at winning over a panel of judges and a live audience.
Catch Nene Royal when she opens for Avenged Sevenfold at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on October 13, 2026. Tickets start from $128 and are available via BookMyShow.
