Some of the prominent artists in the line-up include two-time Grammy award winner Corinne Bailey Rae and hit-maker David Foster who will take the stage with R&B superstar Brian McKnight and legend Chaka Khan. Other names to look out for? Esperanza Spalding, Nik West, Youssou Ndour & Le Super Etoile de Dakar, Raúl Midón Trio, and many more. With a diverse range of artists from around the world, the organisers are not limiting the events to Marina Bay Sands, which will be the Main Stage during the event.

The expansion of the festival will see the Sands Expo & Convention Centre become The Late Show from 10pm onwards. The performances will run until 4am, making it a perfect opportunity for fans to get their fix at both venues. Those performing at The Late Show include Incognito, electronic duo Basement Jaxx, Al McKay’s Earth, Wind & fire Experience and Rudimental DJ Set.
“By expanding SING JAZZ to include The Late Show, we are introducing a thrilling new dimension to the Festival. It caters to the late night party crowd and clubbers looking for a celebrity-driven VIP experience” said Robbie Hoyes-Cock, Director of SING JAZZ. He added, “The festival now boasts 12 hours of music on each day (Friday and Saturday) and I’m particularly excited by our VIP Green Room which allows guests to rub shoulders with all of the stars of this mega music weekend in Singapore.”
