The concert also features vocal group The Island Voices, who were one of the acts involved in NDP theme songs Stronger Together (2022) and Shine Your Light (2023), and whose latest single, Song For Singapore, Home, is a medley of two past NDP theme songs.
The other acts are Mandopop singers Ben Hum, Kelvin Tan Wei Lian and Tay Kewei.
The concert is part of Kallang Alive Sport Management and Sport Singapore’s Majulah Fiesta 2024, which includes activities such as the AL!VE Artisans Market, featuring crafts by home-grown makers at the Visitors Centre until Aug 11, and the Majulah Fiesta Pets Play Day (Feathers Edition) at OCBC Square on Aug 11.
