Singaporean K-pop fans have a major date to circle on their calendars this May. The global breakout girl group Fifty Fifty is officially set to make their highly anticipated Singapore debut, headlining the upcoming Mediacorp Cloud 9 music festival. Known worldwide for their record-breaking viral anthem “Cupid,” the group—now performing as a refreshed quintet consisting of Keena, Chanelle Moon, Yewon, Hana, and Athena—will finally bring their signature sound to a local stage for the first time.
A Star-Studded Lineup
The festival is scheduled to take over the Arena @ Expo Hall 7 on May 9, promising a high-energy evening that bridges the gap between international K-pop stardom and regional talent. Fifty Fifty won’t be the only stars of the night, the lineup is a curated mix of genres featuring the smooth sounds of Taiwanese-American musician Ozi, the rising Singaporean singer-songwriter WhyLucas, and the rhythmic beats of DJ Kiara. According to Mediacorp, this is just the beginning, as more artists are expected to be unveiled in the lead-up to the event.
