What’s On SG: River Hongbao 2025, Singapore Tennis Open, & More

Waterbomb Singapore 2025 has just raised the excitement with a major announcement, adding iconic K-Pop girl group 2NE1, along with Shinee's Taemin and Minho, to the event’s lineup!

Set for Aug. 30 and 31, 2025, at Siloso Beach, this year’s festival promises a star-studded roster, featuring top artists like Huta (Lee Minhyuk of BTOB), Junny, Jay B from GOT7, Ash Island, Anson Lo from Mirror, and EXID.

2NE1 will also be performing in Seoul in July, and fans can look forward to seeing them hit the stage in Singapore shortly after.

Huta, known for his electrifying stage presence, will return to Waterbomb after impressive performances in Seoul in 2023 and 2024. Fans are also in for a treat with GOT7’s Jay B, who will bring his solo flair to the festival — his first solo appearance since the group’s 2019 world tour.

Returning to Waterbomb as well are CLC’s Sorn and Seungyeon. Sorn debuted her unreleased track live at last year’s festival, and Seungyeon joined her on stage for a performance of “Rowdy” in 2023.

The festival will also feature a diverse lineup of international performers, including dance crews like Jam Republic and local acts such as former member of J-Pop group Estelle Fly and WHYLUCAS, a contestant from Chuang Asia 2 2025. As always, fans can expect everything from K-Pop performances to high-energy dance segments.

Hip-hop fans won’t want to miss Ash Island, the breakout star from The High School Rapper, making his Singapore debut. Anson Lo, the Hong Kong sensation from Mirror, is returning for his inaugural solo performance and Waterbomb festival appearance.

EXID is set to light up the stage with their comeback, and Team Bebe, the Street Woman Fighter 2 champions, will collaborate with a world-class crew for a spectacular performance.

Back by popular demand, Garden Vibes returns for its second edition on May 24, 2025, at Serangoon Gardens, hosted by Little Farms and myVillage. This one-day celebration brings together an open-air farmers’ market, wellness workshops, and vibrant community moments — all in the spirit of better living through clean, conscious food. 

Meet the Makers, Taste the Difference

Over 20 producers hailing from New Zealand, Australia, Europe, and Singapore will be presenting a sample, curated lineup that perfectly captures their story and their commitment to quality. 

The Butchery at Little Farms also presents two cuts with a backstory: 

• Green Meadows Beef: A family-owned farm in Taranaki, New Zealand, producing premium grass-fed Angus beef with full control over both farming and manufacturing.
• Roaring Forties Lamb: Named after the wild winds from Antarctica, this lamb is raised on the fertile, temperate pastures of Southern Victoria and Tasmania — lands nourished by some of the cleanest air in the world, as recorded at Cape Grim. 

Homegrown chocolate boutique BerryBar will be serving their signature chocolate-dipped strawberries to the Garden Vibes crowd for the first time, featuring only the finest seasonal strawberries available exclusively at Little Farms. 

Sip and Celebrate

Little Farms has also spent the last three years expanding its direct-from-vineyard wine programme — now having over 75% of its wine sourced straight from the cellar door. One example is Dandelion wines, rooted in tradition and storytelling, Dandelion Vineyards joins generations of expertise together to create elegant Australian wines filled with character and soul. 

Other highlights from the drinks program will include: 

• Miraval Rosé (France): Exclusively available at Little Farms, this celebrated rosé from Provence is known for its fresh, fruit-forward aroma and refined structure, grown on exceptional terroirs that capture the essence of southern France.
• Bruny Island Beer and Prohibition Gin (Australia): Two of Australia’s most exciting small-batch producers.
• Mount Brown Estate (New Zealand): Mount Brown Estate crafts vibrant, award-winning wines with a true sense of place from the hidden gem of New Zealand’s Waipara Valley
• Parés Baltà Wines (Spain): Organic and family-run, Parés Baltà blends centuries-old heritage with innovation, producing expressive Spanish wines that celebrate the land and its biodiversity. 

Rooftop Wellness Activities

Garden Vibes’ wellness zone is a tranquil urban escape that offers movement, mindfulness, and education for all ages and stages of the wellness journey. 

One key highlight of the day is the Rethink Your Pantry – Real Talk on Everyday Food Swaps panel discussion that is set to take place from 1 PM to 1:45 PM on the rooftop of myVillage. This thought-provoking session will bring together four diverse voices from the worlds of food, wellness, and family life. 

The panel discussion will be helmed by Tom Gray, Commercial Director of Little Farms, Dr. Valerie Druon, a family physician from Osler Health, Matt Benfell, founder of Thrive Fitness, and Marie Bellin, a holistic nutritionist. 

Also on the rooftop, Warrior Studios will lead partner yoga and movement sessions, guiding participants through mindful exercises designed to build strength, connection, and balance. Spirit Stretch Immersive Yoga Studio will be complementing the day’s activities with a meditation and breathwork session, followed by a calming Yin Yoga practice paired with a soothing sound bath — offering a chance to relax, reset, and reconnect.

Holistic nutritionist and Chickpea and Berries Founder Raphaelle Voog will be leading a hands-on session on creating wholesome lunchboxes for kids. 

Family Fun

Garden Vibes will also be filled with full-hand-on activities for the little ones and families throughout the day.

• Disney on Beat by Warrior Studios is a lively dance class set to classic Disney songs, designed to get the kids moving and grooving with joy.
• The Yard will be hosting gymnastic sessions, bringing their revolutionary approach to physical activity for acrobats and urban athletes to the festival.
• The Little Farmers Workshop by Grobix offers an educational and interactive experience where kids can learn about urban farming, germinate their own seedlings, and take home a baby plant. 

Each rooftop wellness activity will have a token participation fee starting from S$5. 

Garden Vibes Menu

Little Farms Bar+Grill Serangoon Garden will be serving a Garden Vibes Dinner Menu exclusively on May 24 to round off the festivities. Priced at S$88++ for four courses, the meal opens with a Little Farms’ Avocado Hummus, a fresh, delicious starter that’s topped with pomegranate, Nectar Honeybee pollen, crispy chickpeas, and pickled onion, served alongside Iruela olive bread. 

This is followed by a delicate Beef Carpaccio made with Green Meadows’ pepper-crusted tenderloin, garnished with quail egg, pickled shallots, and shaved Grana Padano. 

Guests will enjoy Storm + India’s Tea-Smoked Black Cod paired with bok choy, Storm & India matcha, and a Forsyth Island mussel broth, finished with crispy shallots. The second main features the Roaring Forties Lamb Rack, served with Grobrix Mint Zhoug, pickled cucumber, crispy capers, and kale. 

To end the day on a sweet note, dessert features a rich chocolate cake made with Nutra Organics collagen hot chocolate, complemented by Storm + India’s Tea kawakawa cream and a crisp Yarri TA30+ honey tuile. 

Entry to the Garden Vibes is free, with select ticketed experiences available via Eventbrite.
