Friday night at the Singapore International Jazz Festival (SING JAZZ) 2018 is set to be a bumper start for the weekend musical marathon, with four additional acts announced to perform alongside their already stellar lineup at the Marina Bay Sands, Singapore.
French artist Sebastian Tellier and Brazilian guitar legend Paulinho Garcia will grace The Main Stage on Friday evening, whilst international DJs Sasha and Ferry Corsten will elevate after-party activities at The Late Show.
6 April – The Main Stage
One of the acts kicking off the festival is Sebastien Tellier, considered one of the most significant French artists of the last decade. He is the 2000s' romantic dandy, a real icon proved by his musical genius though enigmatic nonchalance and his sense of fun. His live performances are legendary – bizarre and beautiful in equal measure, say organisers.
Returning to Singapore is fan-favourite Paulinho Garcio, a Brazilian guitarist and vocalist. He has been described as “the epitome of the solitary troubadour… [whose] languid chords and cleanly plucked lines illuminate the complicated rhythms with the cool clarity of moonlight.”
6 April – The Late Show
Grammy Award nominee, four-time International Dance Music Award winner, Sasha will debut in Singapore at the event. Fans can expect an experience similar to the party to Sasha's famous Last Night on Earth parties.
Another addition to The Late Show is Ferry Corsten from the Netherlands, who is to deliver a trance and progressive house DJ set. Corsten's skills lie in his ability to coax the maximum emotional impact from electronic dance music of all genres, not just trance, but also progressive-house and electro.
An addition to 2018 is the Festival Village at the Event Square on the Ebenex Stage by the Marina Bay waterfront. The fringe event will showcase 16 local and regional bands, and will run from 4 April to 8 April from 2pm to 10.30pm.
The public can catch these live performances free. Food and beverages will also be available.
