2024 has really been the jackpot year for concerts in Singapore, with global stars like Coldplay, Taylor Swift, and Bruno Mars coming to the lion city.
With big acts coming up such as Laufey in September and Olivia Rodrigo in October, music-lovers have truly been having the time of their lives.
But wait, the concert excitement is far from over because Indonesian singer-songwriter NIKI is coming to Singapore next year.
Gotta keep news of this lowkey so you’ll have a higher chance of getting tickets when they go on sale.
NIKI to Perform in Singapore Next Year
The singer who brought us trendy songs like Every Summertime, lowkey, and Oceans & Engines, has announced the dates for her 2024-2025 Buzz World Tour.
Her tour kick starts in North America on 5 September this year. She’ll be touring around Europe from 27 October to 10 November 2024 before embarking on the tour’s Asia leg on 9 February next year.
During the Asia leg of the tour, she’ll be making stops in Hong Kong, Manila, and Jakarta before hitting Singapore on 18 February 2025.
During the tour, NIKI will be performing songs from her newest album Buzz, which will be released on 9 August 2024.
Majulah Singapura.
“I love uuuu I can’t tell u how excited I am to play this new music for you,” the singer wrote in her Instagram caption.
Ticket sales for the show’s North America and Europe dates have begun. Asia and Australia can expect tickets to go on sale later this year.
About Buzz
Buzz is the third studio album by the 25-year-old singer-songwriter.
According to NIKI’s “About the artist” description on Spotify, Buzz encapsulates the feeling of a young woman, possessing hard-earned wisdom, who fearlessly charges towards her dreams – but can still afford to giggle when she trips up.
“The album is called Buzz because it signifies that something is about to happen,” NIKI wrote.
“The promise of something new, when it isn’t real yet, hangs rich and sweet in the air. That millisecond moment in time, suspended in vast suggestion, where there is every opportunity for a shift in trajectory. Small or seismic. You choose.”
NIKI
Grew Up In Jakarta, Indonesia
NIKI, whose real name is Nicole Zefanya, is a singer-songwriter from Indonesia.
You’ll be able to get a glimpse into her Jakarta childhood by listening to her song High School in Jakarta.
88rising Artist
She is currently signed with the record label 88rising, which is also the record label for other popular artists such as Glimpse of Us singer Joji and edamame singer Rich Brian.
88rising is also home to other well-known artists like ATARASHI GAKKO! and YOASOBI, who wowed large crowds with their upbeat and lively performances at Coachella earlier this year.
Was Opening Act For Taylor Swift
Ten years ago, then 15-year-old NIKI won a contest to perform as the opening act for Taylor Swift’s The Red Tour in Jakarta.
I don’t know about you, but at 15, I was just calling friends on Discord and playing Among Us.
Well-known and Accomplished
NIKI was listed among Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia in 2020 and appeared on the cover of Vogue Singapore’s “Pop” issue last year.
She has received global praise for her songwriting and musical abilities and is among the most popular female artists from Indonesia.
The last time Singapore saw NIKI was during her 2022-2023 Nicole World Tour.
The tour began on 8 September 2022 in Canada and concluded on 10 October 2023 in the Netherlands.
She performed in the US, Taiwan, Australia, and China, among other countries, and came to the lion city on 6 December 2022 and 15 September 2023.
The reason she came to Singapore on two dates nine months apart is that her performance on 15 September 2023 was for the Singapore Grand Prix 2023.
The Indonesian indie/R&B singer has made a name for herself in the music industry, and has shown to be a very promising artist.
With her next album about to be released in three months, fans are expecting big things from the 25-year-old.
“See you all again soooonsee you all again soooon,” NIKI wrote on her Instagram post.
