At last, pop queen Stefanie Sun comes home for the eighth stop of her comeback world tour, which started in Taipei in February. Fittingly, she, arguably the biggest-ever pop star from Singapore, is the first pop act to perform at the new National Stadium.
Songs from her album Kepler have already been hogging the charts, so fans should be all set to sing along on tracks such as Kepler, Angel's Fingerprints, Infinite Possibilities and Best Days Of My Youth.
Forecast for Saturday night at the stadium: warm, dazzling and Sunny.
