The music zones were each located at four interconnected malls, making it easy to catch performances from one spot to another. As someone who set foot in Singapore for the first time, getting around the area felt like solving a puzzle. Luckily, there were a lot of signs that made the festival venue easy to navigate.
Catching live performances is a perfect way to destress from a hectic week. The Deck located at Marina Square was transformed into a chill music jamming stage, filled with neon lights against the Singapore central business skyline, Marina Bay Sands, and Esplanade Theatre on the Bay as a scenic backdrop.
Homegrown indie folk pop artist jupiterkid moved the audience with his set as he offered comfort through his music. Shortly after his time, rain started to pour delaying Harrison Storm's gig by a couple of minutes. It did not stop the evening for the "District M" crowd, along with him, as we patiently waited until the drizzle stopped.
Once Harrison made his way to the stage and his soothing voice filled the area, festival-goers were immediately glued to their spots. As the Friday night deepened, a light shower reoccurred but it did not drive away the audience from enjoying the Australian singer-songwriter's performance. If any, it only complemented the romantic atmosphere he created by singing his original music.
"I think my last name is pretty exemplary of the weather tonight. I've literally brought the storm with me. This is my first-ever gig in Singapore. I'm very, very happy to be here," he said, earning laughs from the crowd before delivering his heartfelt song titled Feeling You.

FEELING RIZAL HOVER 'IN THE AIR' TONIGHT IN HEIDELBERG
HEIDELBERG, Germany—They say history is not just something we read or study; it is something we walk through. All our movements and moments become, in a sense, historic (with the magnitude of their historicity being relative, of course). History inhabits the air of cities—most especially old, grizzled ones such as Heidelberg in Germany with the hum and thrum of its cobblestones, where we recently echoed the footfalls not only of countless German figures who have shaped history but also of one Dr. Jose Rizal.
