This Countdown Party Is Free — And Has Fantastic Views Of The Fireworks & The Stars
Join in on the festivities from anywhere.
If you want to usher in the New Year in style but don’t want to pay an arm and a leg for cover charge, here’s a wallet-friendly suggestion to consider. Scratch that, here's a free alternative. Party your way into 2020 at Let's Celebrate 2020, Mediacorp’s annual countdown party held at The Promontory @ Marina Bay. And yes, admission is free. The soiree starts at 7.30pm, but if you’ll be out and about or just chilling at home, you can still catch the festivities from the comfort of your screens on Toggle from 10pm or on Channel 5 at 11pm.
Let’s Celebrate 2020 features a star-studded line up of close to 100 local dance, music and fashion stars. Here’s what to expect.
Hosted by 987FM’s Sonia Chew and Ria 897’s Fiza O, the countdown features performances ranging from R&B to pop, by Glen Wee, Shak & The Baits, Yung Raja and Fariz Jabba, and Azura Goh and Joshua Marc. Mediacorp artistes Ayden Sng, Daryl-Ann, Fang Rong, and Jarrell Huang will be taking the stage during the main show. Keep your eyes peeled for performances by winner of MTV EMA 2019’s Best Southeast Asia Act award, Jasmine Sokko, homegrown heartthrob Benjamin Kheng, songbird Aisyah Aziz and “Papa Rock” Ramli Sarip.
Save the planet, but make it fashun. Fashion guru Daniel Boey will choreograph this runway show with a cause. Aiming to encourage sustainability in fashion, this showcase will feature local labels like Jo Kilda, Q MENSWEAR, Olive Ankara, as well as pieces from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) students, with pieces and accessories created using sustainable materials via environmentally friendly processes. Local models will be helming the catwalk, including newly-minted Star Search 2019 winner, Zhang Zetong, and first runner-up Herman Keh.
