Rod Stewart to perform in Singapore at Marina Bay Sands on 16 and 17 March 2024
British pop-rock star, 78, last performed in Singapore in 2009; general tickets to go on sale on 10 November
Pop-rock star Rod Stewart - who sang classic hits such as "Maggie May", "Sailing" and "Have I Told You Lately" - will return to Singapore to perform at the Sands Grand Ballroom on 16 and 17 March next year. The 78-year-old British singer-songwriter - who last performed in the city-state at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in 2009 - will be embarking on the Asia leg of his “Live in Concert, One Last Time” tour in March, his first concerts in Asia after 15 years.
Besides Singapore, the two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee is also set to perform in Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Philippines and Japan. Stewart will be performing hit songs as well as covers across his five-decade career. Fans will also get to witness a dynamic stage production, which includes 12 band members and backup vocalists.
“It has been 15 years since my last Asian tour, which is far too long! I truly cannot wait to return with a setlist of all my biggest hits and one of the most extraordinary productions of my career. It's going to be quite a bash," he said in a media release on Wednesday (25 October). The Singapore stop is part of Marina Bay Sands’ "Sands Live" concert series, which was first unveiled in 2014 and relaunched in March this year. The concert series has brought in performers such as The Rolling Stones, Michael Bublé, and Celine Dion.
