Synopsis

Singapore’s Mandarin pop music scene has flourished over the years, with many local artists rising to the ranks of regional and international household names. Celebrate this heartening growth with XingPop 2.0— a sequel to the first XingPop concert held as part of Esplanade’s Opening Festival in 2002.

 

Similar to how its predecessor paid homage to iconic tunes from the ’80s xinyao era until the early 2000s, XingPop 2.0 traces the creative journeys and innovations of musical trailblazers in the past two decades. Catch the performances of homegrown talents including Olivia Ong, Nathan Hartono, The Freshman, Hong Junyang, Desmond Ng, Ruth Kueo, StellaVee, Nat Wu, Tingzhi Hz and Isaac Yong.

 

Apart from featured artists, the spotlight will also be cast on “unsung heroes” who have played a pivotal role in placing Singapore on the regional map for Mandarin pop music. These include songwriters, music directors and producers like Lee Si Song, Goh Kheng Long, Jim Lim and Ruth Ling, who will share their experience and insights to shine a light for a new generation of Mandarin pop music talents.

 

Whether you are an aspiring musician, an ardent supporter of Mandarin pop or a curious observer, hop on the musical bandwagon at XingPop 2.0!

 

A programme of PopLore, in celebration of Esplanade's 20th anniversary.
Discover and relive the epic, storied and exhilarating journeys of different generations through Singapore popular music and culture.
