Singapore Grand Prix is not merely about the racing. Being the only country in South East Asia to host the race with its bling-bling and city lights definitely makes you need to do more than just going to Grand Prix while you are in Singapore. If these are not in your Singapore GrandPrix, then they should be!

1. Enjoy The God’s View of Singapore

Have a drink, watch the race and enjoy unparalleled views of Singapore at one of the many high-level bars located around the track. Hot favourites include 1-Altitude, Ce La Vi, New Asia Bar and ME@OUE.

2. Live Life in The Fast Lane, In A-Lister’s Style

Thinking to hit the club like those A-Listers? Open up your Singapore Guide! You might have a chance to meet up with some of the international jet setter, supermodels, or who knows you’ll be dancing the night out with the international celebrities! The are tons of events and parties that will be moving around and about the F1 race itself. Don’t restrict yourself to the circuit ’cause there tons more out there to suit every style.

3. Take Outside The Track

Chances are the malls and other tourist attractions will be filled with visitors before the race weekend, so how about a light trek to the summit of Bukit Timah Hill? The hill stands about 163 meters above sea level—so nothing too strenuous—but it is the highest natural point of the city-state. Think of this as a warm-up lap of sightseeing before all the rubbernecking you’re going to do at the Marina Bay Street Circuit.

4. Fuel Up Before The Race

It’s the calm before the storm, and park gates will only open around 2pm to 3pm, so why not chill in Tiong Bahru first? It’s a haven for independent stores, coffee shops, book stores. Buy a book from BooksActually, take home a trinket from one of the small galleries, or grab a cup of coffee in one of the hole in the wall coffee shops. If you’re looking for the most hipster place in Singapore, this is it.

FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL takes place for 3 days on weekend in late July or early August every year, and around two hundreds of artists perform on the live concert. The lineup for FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL are big, for example the headliners in past few years include Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sigur Rós and Beck in 2016, Gorillaz, Aphex Twin and Bjork in 2017, and Bob Dylan, Kendrick Lamar and N.E.R.D in 2018In 2019, the festival is estimated to be held on the last weekends of July (26th, 27th and 28th). Confirmed acts include The Chemical Brothers, The Cure, SIA, Thom Yorke, Martin Garrix, James Blake, Takkyu Ishino, etc, and more great artists to be announced in future! (updated in April 2019)

Fuji Rock’s lineup typically boasts top international and domestic artists, with hundreds of thousands of fans gathering at the Naeba Ski Resort for the three-day event, which will be held from July 26-28 this year. Last year, Kendrick Lamar, N.E.R.D and Post Malone on the bill hinted that the festival was moving away from its guitar-heavy roots for the headliners while relying much more on domestic acts for the smaller stages. Still, the raging typhoon proved that wet weather is one constant we can rely on.

So when this year’s first-round lineup was announced on Feb. 7, musical fans from around the world tuned in.

Headlining acts for the festival include pop sensation Sia, post-punk legend The Cure, and rock icon Thom Yorke. This first-round announcement reveals only a few of over 200 artists who will perform at Fuji Rock, with others announced in several phases over the months leading up to the festival.

The hype is real

There has been a lot of hype around the artists announced for this year’s festival, including for James Blake’s newly released album Assume Formand The Chemical Brothers new single “Got To Keep On,” which are sure to be a main focus on the Fuji Rock stage.

The first peek at the initial lineup was on an LED screen at the Shibuya Modi shopping complex, where crowds gathered for the reveal on Feb 8. Concert promotion brand Chord caught the moment on film, with onlookers making ecstatic Japanese exclamations like, “Yabai!” and, “Yossha!” upon hearing their favorite artists’ names. Sia, James Blake, and Thom Yorke seemed to garner the loudest reactions.

One Twitter user, in particular, could hardly contain his joy at work upon hearing news of the artists performing at the festival this year.

They tweeted, “The Fuji Rock lineup is so amazing, I’m fighting back tears on the toilet at work.”

Red Hot Chilli Who?

Surprisingly, the act currently producing the most hype is not a headliner, but several lines down on the announcement: the Red Hot Chilli Pipers. The Internet was buzzing: Is it a typo? Why aren’t they a headlining act? But the Red Hot Chili Peppers played at Fuji Rock just three years ago, surely they wouldn’t be performing again so soon?

“This ‘Red Hot Chili’ thing is so confusing,” tweeted @abaredaiko38.

To clear up the misunderstanding for the befuddled masses, Japanese news and media site Qetic explained things on Twitter.

“The Red Hot Chilli Pipers tour all over the world and are known as ‘the most famous bagpipe band on the planet.’ In their performances, they festively cover songs by Queen, Avicii, Coldplay, Deep Purple, and AC/DC,” they wrote.

This revelation only garnered more attention on the self-titled “bagrock” stars, and fans of Fuji Rock were drawn to the idea.

@kana_ppe tweeted, “I didn’t know what to make of this ‘Red Hot Chilli Pipers’” twelve lines down on the Fuji Rock lineup, but them being a bagpipe band just makes me that much more interested.”

They will certainly not be disappointed if the Red Hot Chilli Pipers live up to their official PR description as: “Bagpipes with attitude. Drums with a Scottish accent. A blazing rock band and show so hot, it carries its own health warning!” With live performances covering Avicii’s “Wake Me Up” as lit as the ones below, that isn’t an over-exaggeration.

Your ticket to three days in musical heaven

Fuji Rock Festival tickets start at ¥18,000 (US $164) for 1-day passes and ¥39,800 (US $362) for 3-day passes.

Guess what? If you’re convinced you’d like to buy passes to the event you can do so right here on the GaijinPot site with your mobile, laptop or desktop. These tickets are available to anybody living outside of Japan. If you’re in Japan, you can get tickets through the Fuji Rock Festival website (in Japanese).

With his style in music and his eccentric onstage performance, he has gained much attention over the past couple of years. Raising notoriety with his constant flow of work and many collaborators. Jerry Paper also has toured alongside Mac Demarco, Badbadnotgood, and Mild High Club in the past years. He also collaborated with Tyler The Creator for The Grinch Soundtrack which was released in November 2018.

Jerry Paper’s latest release, Like a Baby (co-produced by Jerry (aka Lucas Nathan) and Matty Tavares of BadBadNotGood) is his first album for Stones Throw. Like a Baby got itself some guest backing vocals and instrumentation from Weyes Blood, Charlotte Day Wilson, and Mild High Club’s Alex Brettin. The songs in the album are funky, easy going, with Lucas’s vocals which can make us listeners swoon.

Nathan sings on the track, “I’m here dressed up like a cartoon/asking please please burn your cocoon”. And he adds, “On stage and in recordings I embody an exaggerated version of my ‘self,’ pushing it to a limit where I transcend my ego, in an effort to get the audience to shed their ideas of themselves, shed their egos, and be free. Jerry Paper is me at my freest, an ego sacrifice in an attempt to get people to do the same.”

Now, collaborating with the aforementioned label, Stones Throw and noisewhore are working together to bring Jerry Paper to Jakarta for the first time ever. The collaborative effort was announced a week ago and has been teased beforehand. This run of tour in Asia only features a few dates, making this Indonesian show all the more special.

Having said that, Jerry Paper is ready to perform their first ever live performance in Jakarta, Indonesia. The band will perform in Rossi Musik Fatmawati. The show will be held on June 19 2019.

Asked about the prospect of organizing a show for Jerry Paper along with Stones Throw, Argia of noisewhore said:

“It certainly is something special. We’ve been focusing on bringing smaller acts and innovate through our curation of artists. Bringing the legendary label Stones Throw and Jerry Paper for our second show of the year surely means everything to us. It’s a sign that we’re working the way we want it to be and will continue to do so for the rest of the year. We are surely excited of what’s to come for this show and beyond.”

Tickets are currently available at a normal price at 350k. Tickets also can be bought through noisewhore (noisewhore.com/shows/) The poster for the show is also attached in this email

Perjalanan, Cinta, Persahabatan dan Perpisahan, 4 momentum kehidupan yang selalu memberi warna dalam sebuah cerita. Begitu pun dalam perjalanan karir musisi atau band tanah air. Dalam “LOVE FESTIVAL Vol.3” kali ini, 9 band ternama tanah air yang telah menorehkan sejarah dan mencuri hati para pecinta musik dalam perjalanan hidup mereka akan tampil di 1 hari yang sama melalui 3 panggung berbeda.

Cerita festival akan dimulai dari kisah klasik perjalanan dan persahabatan yang diwakili oleh band Gigi yang berhasil menjaga kreatifitas dan eksistensi mereka selama 24 tahun di dunia musik Indonesia melalui dua puluh album yang telah dirilis. Dalam Love Festival Vol. 3, Gigi akan tampil dari formasi awal hingga kini sebagai bukti solid persahabatan mereka.

Chapter ‘Perjalanan’ lainnya di Love Fest Vol. 3 adalah suguhan musik yang penuh dengan inspirasi. Beristirahat sejenak dari apa yang kita lakukan adalah proses untuk kembali dengan kreatifitas yang lebih maksimal. Mengarungi kehidupan dan kebersamaan dalam meniti karir di pentas seni musik adalah anugerah yang luar biasa. Padi Reborn akan mempersembahkan penampilan musik yang berbeda dan spesial dengan tema ‘Love and Harmony’ setelah sekian lama vakum dari dunia musik.

Di tahun 2010, Element memutuskan untuk vakum dari industri musik, namun mereka memutuskan untuk kembali di tahun 2014. Element Reunion berhasil mengumpulkan semua personilnya dan menghasilkan satu buah single di tahun 2018. Kenang kembali masa remaja di Element Reunion 20^th Anniversary di Love Festival Vol. 3

Tujuh belas tahun berkarya di blantika musik Indonesia, telah melewati banyak cerita, inilah cerita Maliq & D’Essentials. Duo Puradiredja merayakan ulang tahun perjalanan dan persahabatan dan berkarya mereka di tahun yang ketujuh belas nanti dalam pagelaran seru penuh kejutan, dimana Maliq & D’Essentials akan menampilkan formasi awal mereka berkarir, featuring Ifa Fachirdan Satrio yang akan tampil menyemarak-kan 17 tahun Maliq & D’Essentials  khusus dipersembahkan untuk Love Festival Vol. 3.

Persahabatan tentunya selalu kekal melewati banyak cerita suka dan duka. Bermusik bukan hanya karir namun menjadi sebuah cerita yang lebur dalam rasa kekeluargan dan saling berbagi untuk selalu menghadirkan senyum di antara mereka, inilah yang ingin disampaikan oleh Project Pop, 5 bodies 6 souls dalam Love Festival Vol. 3. Meskipun formasi sekarang hanya berlima, Yosi, Udjo,Gugum, Odie dan Tika tanpa kehadiran mendiang O’on namun curahan jiwa/spirit pada saat menghibur di atas pentas tetaplah sama saat mereka tampil dengan segenap spirit ber-enam, we are Project Pop, 5 bodies 6 souls.

Perpisahan adalah kisah yang menghiasi sebuah perjalanan, namun persahabatan akan selalu menjadi nafas untuk menghidupkan sebuah cerita baru. Kejutan yang ditampilkan dalam Love Festival Vol. 3 adalah sebuah kehangatan untuk membawa kembali formasi awal band-band legendaris tanah air dan memenuhi rasa rindu para pecinta musik untuk melihat mereka tampil bersama di atas panggung.

Nostalgia bersama Badai, Kerispatih dan Sammy Simorangkir. Kerispatih akan menampilkan pertunjukan spesial setelah sekian lama berpisah di Love Festival Vol.3.

Tidak hanya itu, ‘Suar’ akan tampil bersama Pure Saturday. Band pelopor musik indie yang dicintai hingga kini oleh pecinta musik tanah air ini akan tampil bersama lagi. Para fans akan dapat memuaskan rasa rindu mereka mendengarkan lagu-lagu dengan suara original Suar yang telah lama vakum dari panggung musik tanah air. Saksikan Pure Saturday with Suar Nasution ”After All These Years” hanya di Love Festival Vol. 3.

Chapter lainnya dari Cinta, Persahabatan dan Perpisahan hadir dari musisi Indonesia yang telah berkiprah lama di blantika musik Indonesia, Konsistensi dalam bermusik adalah kunci eksistensi sebuah band atau musisi dalam berkarir, banyak kisah yang mengiringi, namun perpisahan dapat menjadi sebuah awal baru yang memberi banyak warna dalam lirik dan lagu yang tercipta. Keputusan Yovie Widianto untuk keluar dari band Yovie & Nuno sangat mengejutkan pada bulan November 2018. Namun perpisahan ini bukan akhir dari kreatifitas. Yovie Widianto menegaskan bahwa ia tidak pernah akan melupakan Yovie & Nuno. Penampilan Yovie & Nuno akan mengajak musisi yang dulu pernah turut andil dalam awal karir Yovie & Nuno, mantan vokalis Dudy Oris dan Gail Satyawaki serta sang pemain Bass Yuke Sampurna akan tampil kembali dalam satu panggung, bahkan untuk mengobati rasa rindu Yovie & Nuno akan mengajak Audy di saat single lagu “Janji Diatas Ingkar” pertama kali dipopuler pada tahun 2001.

Perpisahan kadang meninggalkan berbagai kenangan, keputusan Giring untuk keluar dari band Nidji tentu sangat mengagetkan dan disayangkan oleh sebagian besar pecinta band besar ini, namun Giring akan selalu memberikan support dan dukungan penuh untuk Nidji.

Dalam Love Fest Vol.3, akan menjadi penampilan Giring yang terakhir, dalam tajuk konsep Nidji – Hello x Goodbye, Giring says ‘Goodbye’ untuk Nidji, dan tentu akan ada sambutan ‘Hello’ untuk menyambut sang vokalis baru pengganti Giring nanti, dimana audisi dan pengumuman resmi sang vokalis baru Nidji hanya akan ada di Love Fest.
