David Tao, Ellie Goulding, J Balvin and more are due to perform at MBS

Marina Bay Sands is set to take music fans on a sonic journey with its inaugural Music Festival, Where Music Takes Over, a celebration of culture, music, and live entertainment. The Festival features an impressive line-up and fringe activities over nearly three weeks at the integrated resort, from 15 July to 2 August 2023.

Marina Bay Sands will play host to over 10 concerts and musical performances during the Festival. The line of performers also include The 1975, The Strokes, RINI, Sabrina Carpenter and A$AP Ferg. The rest of the festival line-up will be unveiled in the coming weeks.

The Headliners

Moreover, the prolific composer and singer-songwriter David Tao is making a highly anticipated return to Marina Bay Sands on 16 July 2023. From nostalgic ballads to recent tracks, the six-time Golden Melody Award-winner will serenade fans with staples of Mandpop melodies.

Next, pop connoisseur Ellie Goulding will take fans on a mesmerising auditory escapade on 26 July with her unique vocal dexterity and mellifluous hit tracks. Goulding has had many successes in her illustrious career, which began when her first album “Lights” debuted at number 1 on the UK Albums Chart.

The sonic journey then continues with J Balvin on 28 July 2023 to deliver a captivating high-energy performance. J Balvin has been revered as one of the best-selling Latin artists of all time by Billboard. His breakthrough came when his hit single “6 AM” peaked at number 2 on the Billboard in 2014.

The Colombian superstar’s undisputed musical prowess led him to become the first Latino artist to headline global music festivals, such as Coachella and Tomorrowland. J Balvin has also worked alongside many industry luminaries, including Beyonce, Daddy Yankee, Pharrell Williams and Cardi B.

More Entertainment Acts

These global music icons will join an already impressive line-up of previously announced headlining acts performing at Marina Bay Sands. The rest of the festival line-up will be unveiled in the coming weeks.
