Marina Bay Sands and Singaporean superstar JJ Lin are teaming up for a good cause this November with After the Rain, a two-day concert in which ticket proceeds will go to vulnerable communities served by Community Chest. To be held on 27 and 28 November at Sands Theatre, JJ Lin will perform live for invited guests and members of the public in a limited-capacity environment due to prevailing Safe Management Measures (SMM).
The concert will also be streamed over JJ Lin’s official YouTube, Weibo and Douyin channels on 28 November, for those who are unable to join him in person.
The event holds significance for JJ Lin, as it will be his first in-person concert in two years since the Covid-19 pandemic began. Acknowledging that the pandemic has hurt the local music industry, JJ Lin said he wanted to support the local community, adding that 99 per cent of the musicians and crew involved in the concert are Singaporeans.
JJ shared: “I used to travel all over the world for work in the past. But the pandemic has slowed down the pace of life, so these past months have given me more time to spend with my family and to reflect on life and music. Covid-19 has had a significant impact on many people, both physically and mentally, and I hope that through my concert and music, I can provide a message of positivity, and that together we will be able to overcome these difficult times.”
