Singapore SVNS organisers have unveiled an expanded entertainment offering to compliment the sporting action ahead of this year’s event.
The seventh, and penultimate, leg of this season’s World Rugby Sevens Series is set to take place in the 55,000-seat Singapore National Stadium from May 3 to 5. Tickets go on sale on Friday (Feb 23) via the series’ platform.
Singapore SVNS is aiming to deliver a unique fusion of sport, entertainment, and culture.
“The first three tournaments of the reimagined HSBC SVNS have been a resounding success and we are looking forward to bringing world-class rugby and a festival atmosphere once more to Singapore National Stadium,” said World Rugby Sevens general manager Sam Pinder.
“This year’s event has expanded on the entertainment offering, with food markets, live music, artist performances and participation sports, which will allow fans to watch, play and engage in a multi-day festival of vibrant celebration and entertainment.
“We can’t wait to see the fans and teams bring the rugby spirit and take the HSBC SVNS Singapore experience to the next level.”
Under the series’ new model, seven regular season events take place which will result in the regular season winners being crowned in Singapore before the Grand Final from May 31 to June 2 determines the SVNS champions in Madrid.
Taking place alongside the competition in Singapore, DJs will be occupying a beach club for those who want to party while the Sun Stage will feature live music performances and interactive audience participation.
Premium hospitality experiences are also due to be available at The Sun Room and The Spring Hotel which will “feature premium food and drink, a full programme of fun and entertainment in private lounges and the best seats in the house to see all the non-stop action.”
Singapore National Stadium has recently hosted high-profile events including concerts from Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, and BlackPink.
Taylor Swift is also due to perform in six sold-out shows at the venue in March on her Eras Tour.
Singapore has outlined ambitious targets for attracting overseas visitors, with major events one key part of its strategy. Thailand’s Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin recently suggested that Singapore sought a deal to prevent Swift from playing in any other nation in Southeast Asia.
