SINGAPORE – Lady Gaga fans will want to head down to Marina Bay Sands (MBS) to soak up the vibes inspired by the American pop star's return to Singapore.
She is set to perform at the National Stadium on May 18, 19, 21 and 24, her only stops in Asia. Her last concerts here were a three-night engagement at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in 2012.

There are two shows every night, at 8.30 and 9.30pm.
During this same period, the MBS facade and waterfront will also be lit up in shades of orange, inspired by the colours featured on Lady Gaga's latest album Mayhem, released in March. The light-up starts at 7pm and ends at 11.59pm.
