The lineup for The Kallang Countdown 2027 just got bigger, with Malaysian pop sensation MIMIFLY and Singaporean favourites Yung Raja, Sobs, and The Freshman joining K-pop icons HIGHLIGHT (formerly BEAST) for the year-end celebration.
Following the earlier announcement of HIGHLIGHT as the concert's headliner, The Kallang has revealed the full lineup, bringing together an eclectic mix of K-pop, Mandopop, hip-hop, R&B, indie rock, and electronic music to ring in the new year.
Taking place on 31 December at Stadium Roar, the ticketed concert will feature performances from regional and homegrown acts alongside the celebrated second-generation K-pop group.
Among the newly announced performers is MIMIFLY, who will bring her vibrant fusion of contemporary pop, infectious rhythms, and Nusantara influences to the stage. The Malaysian singer-songwriter has enjoyed a remarkable year, winning five awards at AIM25 and representing Malaysia at the ASEAN-Korea ROUND Festival 2026, while also earning a feature on a Times Square billboard in New York.
"I'm thrilled to bring my music to a stage as iconic as The Kallang! To me, music has always been about connection, and to share our sound and culture with fans across the region on New Year's Eve is a real honour," she shared.
Singapore's music scene will also be well represented, with rapper Yung Raja bringing his signature blend of Tamil and English lyricism, alongside songs from his latest releases and collaborations with Jay Park. Having performed on international stages including Rolling Loud, the rapper is looking forward to ending the year on home ground.
"I can't wait to share this night with the place I call home. Being on a stage like The Kallang and ending off the year right here shows how far our scene has come with music, showing the next generation what's possible. 2027 is already looking up!" he said.
Joining him are indie-pop band Sobs, whose shimmering guitar melodies and dreamy vocals have earned them a dedicated following both locally and internationally, as well as Mandopop duo The Freshman (插班生), known for their heartfelt songs and signature harmonies.
The concert will also feature Singaporean R&B and club-pop artist Estelle Fly, renowned DJ Inquisitive, and local K-pop dance cover crew Z-Axis, who will bring their energetic choreography to the festivities.
Headlining the evening will be HIGHLIGHT, whose upcoming performance marks their return to Singapore following their September 2024 concert, which concluded their Lights Go On, Again Asia tour. Fans can expect a mix of beloved BEAST-era classics and the group's more recent releases.
"The Kallang Countdown is one of our signature community experiences and reflects our commitment to making world-class entertainment accessible to all," shared Yazed Osman, Group Head, Events & Placemaking and Place Management at The Kallang Group.
"For The Kallang Countdown 2027 concert, we have brought together an exciting lineup of local, regional and international artistes that reflects what resonates with fans across different genres and generations."
Tickets are priced at S$28 and S$38, excluding booking fees. Priority sales for The Kallang Kaki members will begin on 16 November at 2 PM, followed by general sales on 17 November at 3 PM.
For those who prefer to join the celebrations outside the concert venue, a live feed of the performances will also be broadcast at OCBC Square and the Water Sports Centre.
The Kallang Countdown 2027 forms part of ONE Countdown 2027, a nationwide series of New Year's Eve celebrations taking place across Singapore, including in the heartlands. Further details about the islandwide festivities will be announced later in November.
