JAKARTA - The Singapore Tourism Agency (Singapore Tourism Board / STB) revealed that the secret of global musicians can hold concerts for days in their country.

"Only a certain number of these artists travel the world every year, what I think we are trying to do in Singapore is to ensure that the concert experience is smooth and comfortable for visitors as well," said Executive Director of STB Southeast Asia, Terrence Voon to Antara in Jakarta, Wednesday.

In the near future, Coldplay will hold a six-day concert in the Lion Country, followed by Taylor Swift, who will appear in Singapore for three nights at the Singapore National Stadium on March 2-4, 2024.

It is estimated that in total there will be around 330 thousand viewers who can enjoy Coldplay's appearance on different dates.

Voon revealed that Singapore's adequate infrastructure and facilities, to good public transportation connectivity, made many of them foreign tourists feel safe and comfortable. These factors are one of the considerations of both the musicians and the audience.

For example, the National Stadium, a place that is often the location of concerts, is located not far from the MRT station. The average distance to the concert location is 30 minutes.

In addition, Voon said that Singapore has a strategic geographical location in the Southeast Asia region so that it attracts global musicians to hold concerts with a long span of time compared to other countries.

"And the fact that Singapore is also very well connected throughout Southeast Asia by air, even by sea and land, makes it easier for visitors from all over this area to come to concerts, so I think that's why we're quite attractive to some global artists," Voon added.
