Singapore is going all out to welcome 2026, and it’s doing it in the comfort of air-con. Say hello to Singland Festival, the city’s first large-scale indoor New Year’s bash, taking over Marina Bay Sands from December 31 to January 3 with a star-studded line-up that’s basically a dream playlist brought to life. 

The festival promises an explosive blend of world-class acts, next-level stage production, and an immersive 360-degree LED Mega-Sing-Along experience that’ll have the whole crowd belting in unison. Expect everything from electrifying K-pop and soulful R&B to heartfelt ballads, genre-defying pop, and even razor-sharp stand-up comedy across multiple days and stages.

Headliners? Only some of the biggest names in music. K-pop legend Rain kicks things off on New Year’s Eve with the kind of stage spectacle only he can deliver. Mandopop powerhouse Terry Lin takes over on January 2 with his soaring ballads, while multi-talented Canadian singer-songwriter Henry Lau charms the crowd on January 3 before handing things over to none other than Grammy Award-winner Ne-Yo. Don’t miss the mega R&B superstar serenading Singapore with smooth classics like ‘So Sick’ and ‘Miss Independent’, alongside the kind of slick moves that remind you he’s still got it. 

But this isn’t just about the music. Singland is pulling out all the stops with a festival village full of things to do. Think Wishing Wall, interactive countdown clocks, giant LED installations, Instagram-worthy photo ops, fun games, and a sing-along where thousands of voices will ring in the new year together. To keep you fuelled, there are also exclusive food and drinks on offer, plus merch drops and pop-up surprises to make sure you don’t go home empty-handed. 

Tickets start from $118, and are available via Sistic hereIn line with the festival's sustainability mission, $1 from every ticket sold will go towards local tree-planting efforts – so you’re partying for the planet, too. Whether you’re in it for the chart-topping headliners, the late-night revelry, or just to say you celebrated New Year’s indoors without breaking a sweat, Singland Festival is shaping up to be the hottest – and coolest – way to start the year. Check out the full programme here.
