What’s on in Singapore this September & October

Hopelessly Devoted

In August 2022, the world mourned the loss of icon and artist, Australian luminary Dame Olivia Newton-John AC DBE. With 100 million records sold worldwide, her musical legacy is global, and we have the chance to enjoy it here in Singapore with a tribute concert, Hopelessly Devoted: A Celebration of Olivia Newton-John. Taking place on 12 October at Marina Bay Sands, the concert will feature some of Australia’s brightest musical talents performing her greatest hits (“Physical” and “Xanadu” for the win!) to the sounds of Singapore’s very own Base Philharmonic Orchestra. The night will be hosted by Olivia’s niece, Tottie Goldsmith.
