If there’s one thing about Singapore’s public transport system that rustles our jimmies, it’s that it’s not exactly pet-friendly. How often have we had to leave our pooch back home while we embark on our day out? *cue sad violins* “No more!” says Uber. A saving grace for lots of pet owners in Singapore, the ride service has launched uberPETS on 20 October 2017, a pet-friendly vehicle option that’s also a first for Asia. No more #FOMO for Fido. No more crabby drivers who give pets in their cars the stink eye. All uberPETS drivers have opted into the programme,…

The magician of 24K Magic, the pop prince of our generation, the new-age Michael Jackson — whatever you wanna call him, there’s no denying the star power of Bruno Mars. And if you wish to get closer to this musical supernova, you’re now in luck. Presented by Live Nation Lushington, Bruno Mars will be setting the Singapore Indoor Stadium ablaze on 6 May 2018. This will be his sophomore gig in Singapore, following his spectacular show in 2014 where he pretty much blew everyone away with his smoky pipes and smooth-as-silk choreography. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-WdrMLLpPg In case you’ve been living under a…

Partying is always an escape from the mundanities of metropolitan living. And when it comes to letting loose, there’s always one pop-up series in Singapore we can count on. Now on its fourth edition, Escape 56 is a nomadic home for house and techno pundits, having emerged from ever-changing locations like Aliwal Arts Centre, St. James Power Station, and even a hidden venue in the Henderson industrial area. Along the same lines, this next instalment on 3 November 2017 will take place in a yet-disclosed warehouse location; a mystery that we’ve yet to crack. A collaboration between Jagermeister and the BLACKOUT…

Sure, Singapore’s a tiny island, but that doesn’t mean you’ll find a dearth of parties on this raving red dot. While we do have a cornucopia of clubs in Singapore, in my opinion, the best parties are the ones you’d least expect, popping up from the shadows in unforeseeable locations before vanishing once the sun rises. One promoter that’s been notorious for throwing fiestas like these is Super 0. Renowned for its Super 0 Openair shindig that’s still having punters talking since its bash in 2015 — it took over an abandoned sports club and turned an empty pool into…

Singapore’s nightlife scene just got a lil’ spicier, and it’s all thanks to this new club that’s taking debaucherous festivities sky-high. Though, new as it may be to Singapore’s skyline, the legacy of the club is a reputable one. Bar Rouge is a name that needs no introduction amongst Shanghai’s party folk. From causing raunchy ruckuses at the famous Bund district in Shanghai, the nightlife phenomenon now makes its way to Singapore, taking over the premises of the now-defunct New Asia Bar at Swissotel The Stamford. Officially launched on 8 September 2017, Bar Rouge Singapore boasts globular ceiling fixtures, crimson…

Indie kids islandwide are bracing themselves. For eight years, the St. Jerome’s Laneway Festival has turned the ‘hipster’ phenomenon into a celebration of commercial proportions, roping in star-studded ensembles of international musicians from the likes of M83, Grimes and The Temper Trap. And from what was just teased Down Under, 2018 looks to be no exception. The Melbourne-originated spectacle — Singapore was its first overseas venture back in 2011 — has unveiled its performing acts, running the gamut from indie-rock and hip-hop, to folk and electronica. So why does it matter to folks back here? More often than not, a good…

Forget about prying your face away from your iPhone, especially when Apple’s newly-announced iPhone X hits stores this 2017. The milestone model marks the 10th anniversary of the gadget that shook the status quo of phone technology, and even if you’re an Android devotee, you can’t deny the former’s seismic appeal. The iPhone X was revealed on 13 September 2017 at a Keynote event conducted by the tech giants, and it already has the masses astir. But if you haven’t been keeping track of all the buzz – or if you’re simply not addicted to your iPhone (you’re a rare one) – we’re…
