Re: Grasshopper Concert Tour In Singapore
Known for their out-there fashion and boundless energy, Hong Kong’s Cantopop group Grasshopper are set to bring plenty of fun to the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Saturday.
The trio – consisting of Edmond So, Remus Choy and Calvin Choy – debuted in 1985 and last performed at the same venue in 2017. The concert’s name is said to represent words such as “reunion” and “reborn”, as their music has inspired many fans and brought people together.
Concertgoers will get to relive the group’s hits such as Grasshopper’s Club Broken Heart (1990), Blame It On The Samba (1991) and Sorry Baby (1993). The music industry veterans have released more than 20 studio albums in Cantonese and Mandarin.
Their show’s dancing segments are said to last more than 100 minutes, so fans are in for a rollicking good time.

Dream Theater Top Of The World Tour
In support of their 15th studio album, A View From The Top Of The World (2021), American progressive metal band Dream Theater are on tour and will perform here on Tuesday.
The five members of the group – James LaBrie, John Petrucci, Jordan Rudess, John Myung and Mike Mangini – were in the middle of a sold-out global tour in 2020 when the Covid-19 pandemic brought the world to a stop.
For A View From The Top Of The World, which was written during the pandemic, LaBrie contributed via Zoom meetings from Canada, while the other four members based in the United States wrote in a studio together.
In March 2021, LaBrie flew to New York, served his quarantine and recorded his vocals in person with Petrucci. The album ultimately threaded together lean and uncompromising hooks with technical proficiency, and their show promises to be a riveting jam.
