SINGAPORE – Michael Learns To Rock are set to return to Singapore to perform a fund-raising concert for Dementia Singapore.
The show will take place at Our Tampines Hub’s Town Square on Sept 9.
All proceeds from the tickets, which are priced from $68 to $168 and will go on sale on Wednesday, will be donated to Dementia Singapore.
One of Denmark’s most successful music exports, Michael Learns To Rock are known for evergreen pop hits such as The Actor (1991), 25 Minutes (1994) and That’s Why You Go Away (1995).
The band last performed here at The Star Theatre in October 2022 and November 2018.
Their popularity among Singaporeans is the reason they are the perfect band to headline this concert for people with dementia, says Mr Jason Foo, chief executive of Dementia Singapore.
“It is the sort of music that those in their 40s and 50s are most familiar with. And, coincidentally, these are also the age groups in which we are seeing a rise in young onset dementia cases,” he adds.
Nostalgia is a powerful tool in Dementia Singapore’s efforts to engage and support people with dementia and their caregivers, he adds.
“Good music is a great connector. And getting a well-known international act to help spread the message of support for Singapore’s fast-growing community of people with dementia goes a long way in helping to break down the stigma associated with the condition, which often stems from a lack of awareness and a discomfort with addressing the issue.”
The concert will be held in the heartland to promote inclusiveness, he adds.
A carnival featuring food stalls, rides and other activities will also be held at the concert venue from 10am to 3.30pm. It is free for members of Dementia Singapore’s Cara app. Non-members can sign up for Cara for free at the entrance of the carnival, as well as by downloading the app on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
