Jam Hsiao Wild/Mild World Tour in Singapore 2025
Taiwanese singer Jam Hsiao’s Singapore show is part of his ongoing Wild/Mild World Tour, which has garnered praise for being a visual spectacle.
In 2025, the modular stage won an iF Design Award – one of the most prominent design prizes in the world – for its ability to immerse the audience in a surreal blend of reality and illusion.
The show also won a Platinum Award at the 2025 Muse Design Awards, which celebrates excellence in design.
The tour, named after the singer’s 2023 EP, kicked off in Shanghai in August 2024 and includes stops in cities such as Macau and Suzhou.
The Singapore show is expected to last three hours, half an hour longer than his last solo concert here at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in 2018.
In a recent interview with The Straits Times, Hsiao said: “As long as the organisers don’t rush me out and as long as the audience wants to listen, I will be there until everyone is happy and satisfied.”

Ska band Cesspit have been around since 1995 and made their name with a blend of punk, reggae, Latin and folk music.
