Press Rewind and Catch Free Nostalgic Music Live at Esplanade Until May 25

We all had our favourite music growing up. Whether it’s an acoustic track of an indie band or a big hip-hop hit by an international artist, we all go back to the songs that defined our youth despite the many releases that have passed us through the years. The chances of hearing them live, though, are slim. But don’t worry.

If you’re looking to catch live nostalgic music, Esplanade is currently running a free programme called “Songs We Grew Up With 2023,” where various artists perform their favourite hits. Why not take some time off your busy schedule, so you can catch the remaining shows below?
