Time: 6pm – 7pm
Venue: Shaw Foundation Symphony Stage, Singapore Botanic Gardens
Let homegrown a cappella mavericks Budak Pantai take you on a musical joyride filled with smooth harmonies, cheeky twists, and songs you know and love—some given a fresh (and possibly irreverent) spin. From soulful ballads to bopping tunes, expect an evening where anything can happen, and probably will.
So spread out your picnic mats, warm up your vocal cords, and get ready to laugh, sing, and maybe even join in the fun—because with Budak Pantai, the music isn’t just on stage, it’s everywhere.
About the performers
Budak Pantai can be summed up in one word: “fun”. The quintet, billed as “five men and a guitar” and hence not exactly a cappella, have a well-earned reputation for being ceaselessly entertaining and irreverent. With five albums, one EP and numerous gigs under their belt, they are a hit everywhere they go, making audiences reportedly swoon, sing along and laugh out loud. Always adaptable and giving their best every time they perform live, they can easily belt out Christmas humdingers and ABBA evergreens as well as original zingers in English and Mandarin.
