From youths to families and pet owners, most concert-goers wanted to explore the local music scene.

“We didn’t come here with anyone in mind actually,” said Benjamin Low, 20, who came to the event with his friends. They added that they were instead curious about local music since more local artistes were gaining more traction. 

“It’s quite refreshing to see new musicians in our country,” Low added.

Some however, came as fans, wishing to see their favourite artiste live. 

“I wanted to get to know more songs from local artistes,” said 17-year-old Tricia Sit. When asked which artiste they were most excited to see, Sit and her friend Avril Yap, 17, squealed in unison: “Benjamin Kheng!” 

The pair also happened to be fans of Desmond Tan. “Desmond Tan waved at me from above, I was up there and he was going to leave and then he looked up,” Sit said excitedly. 

Eighteen-year-old students Shalisa Binte Shafudin, Tang Xin Yu and Raye Kosasih, also said they were most pumped to see dance group D’Kingsman, as well as artistes Lovalie and Fariz Jabba.

While talking to concert-goers, a youthful voice echoed from the mini outdoor stage 12-year-old Lyla Ng, who was one of the buskers, singing a mix of Chinese and English top hits like Apt by Bruno Mars and Rose.
