Mandopop folk-duo The Freshman kept the energy high with their song I'm Coming Home and Call Me (Not Maybe), before closing off with their rendition of Kelvin Tan's The Voices Of Ordinary People.
Finally, it was time for the women of the hour. First up was Kit Chan, who opened with her set with her 1996 track Liking You. She then brought the house down as fans joined her in singing the iconic National Day hit, Home, which garnered thunderous applause.
Stefanie Sun made her grand return to Singapore's stage with her songs Against The Light and Encounter.
Cheers from the crowd peaked as she performed her 2002 National Day hit We Will Get There, closing the concert on a high.
