Live Nation is set to launch its first music venue in Southeast Asia, in partnership with Lendlease Global Commercial REIT, supported by the Singapore Tourism Board. Unlike any other venue in the region, this state-of-the-art 3,000 capacity music hall will feature multiple rooms and stages – set up to accommodate both developing and established international touring artists as well as local artists.
The venue will quickly become an asset to the community with a cafe and bar that can be used as a smaller event space, transforming the venue into a vibrant live entertainment hub. Live Nation will leverage its unrivaled global experience to operate the venue to the highest standards, creating significant local employment opportunities and contributing to Singapore’s economic growth.
“Live Nation is excited to expand the live music market in Singapore with this new venue.” said Greg Gillin, Senior Vice President of Venue Development, Live Nation Asia.
Local audiences will benefit from access to live music and new and emerging cultural activities hosted in the distinctive performance spaces, as well as meetings, incentives, lectures, exhibitions and community events .
Jean Ng, Deputy Director General, Experience Development Group, The Singapore Tourism Board said “It is exciting to see Live Nation and LREIT’s commitment to developing the Grange Road events space as Asia’s first flagship entertainment venue along the iconic Orchard Road. This initiative will significantly contribute to the ongoing rejuvenation of Orchard Road, expand the lifestyle offering in the area and enhance its appeal to locals and visitors. By working closely with our industry partners, we are cementing Orchard Road’s position as a must-visit lifestyle destination, while affirming Singapore’s reputation as the live entertainment capital of the region.
Kelvin Chow, CEO of Lendlease Global Commercial Trust Management Pte Ltd, said: “The development of Grange Road into a vibrant day and night events space will further strengthen LREIT’s presence in the Somerset region. This is also a great opportunity for us to play a part in the rejuvenation of Orchard Road by inserting a performance venue into a world-class shopping street. We are excited to see our partnership with Live Nation and STB come to fruition when the multi-functional event space is completed.
