The Cranberries
Singapore Indoor Stadium l $38-198 from Sistic
Apr 2, 8pm
If the Irish rock band’s sold-out concert in Singapore late last year was anything to go by, the quartet will probably get the same reception this time around. Although last year’s technical glitches lingers in some of the attendees’ memory, Dolores and band will be hell bent on putting on a similar powerful performance. With their sixth studio album Roses released earlier this year, expect new materials on top of classics like “Zombie”, “Free to Decide” and “Salvation”.

Skream & Benga
Zirca l $20/32 includes two drinks
Jan 13, 10pm
At a time when dubstep wasn’t Skrillex and a oh-Steve-Aoki’s-in-it-too, its stamp on the music industry was lesser-known in the late 90s under the footprint of UK bass. Skream and Benga were at the heart of that sound when it came about, going from dark to melodic and funk to jazzy. With both forming part of the trio Magnetic Man, being pigeonholed into the current mainstream craze of dubstep was inevitable. In the same vein, a mix of underground to mainstream crossover tunes and educational classics will set the sound levels for this night. Audio-visual collective Syndicate’s Kiat opens the night together with Brandon Tay on VJ duties.
