Highlights from KAMP Singapore (Ft. Super Junior, NCT 127, Chungha, Stray Kids and More)

The inaugural KAMP festival made its first stop in Singapore for 2 days on 9 & 10 November, with both days boasting a stellar line-up — (Day 1) AleXa, Chungha, Ha Sungwoon, GFRIEND and NCT 127; (Day 2) Momoland, Sonnet Son, WJSN, Stray Kids and Super Junior.

Fans got to interact with their favourite idols as they walked down the red carpet in the afternoon, before a whole night of performances at the Singapore Indoor Stadium – it was truly an unforgettable weekend. Here’s what you may have missed on Day 1:

The exciting night kicked off with the first act, GFRIEND – who treated the audience with an 8-song set. The girls performed fan-favourite “Fingertip”, before raising the energy of the crowd with “Navillera”, “Life Is A Party” and “Vacation”. They truly knew how to set the mood for the night.

Yerin and Eunha even showed their aegyo (cuteness) for the lucky audience that night!

GFRIEND changed up the atmosphere and performed a ballad version of their hit “Rough”, showcasing their powerful vocals. The audience was in awe whenever main vocalist, Yuju, hit her powerful high notes. The girl group ended off their set with “A Starry Sky”, “Fever” and “Time For The Moon Night”.

Former Produce 48 contestant, AleXa, made her strong debut on the Singapore stage with her debut single, “BOMB”, filling up the huge stage with her powerful dance moves and strong stage presence. At the red carpet, she encouraged everyone to add this upbeat song onto their workout playlists.

AleXa then busted out powerful dance covers of boy group numbers “DRAMARAMA” and “Warrior”, exuding confidence throughout the stadium. Despite having only just made her debut last month, AleXa proved that she is a force to be reckoned with.

Next up was Ha Sungwoon – who made his return to Singapore, but this time as a soloist. He performed his debut track “Bird”, followed by “Tell Me I Love You”, immediately captivating the crowd with his soothing vocals.

He continued his set with “Don’t Forget”, “Bluemaze”, refreshing tune “Blue”, and lastly “What are you doing today?!”. Despite being a solo act, Ha Sungwoon filled up the entire stage that night with his natural charms and good looks.

Dance queen Chungha took over the stage with her recent hit “Snapping”, showing off her amazing dance skills and power vocals. She exclaimed, “I always get the best energy in Singapore!”

Chungha got the entire audience singing along to “Gotta Go”, “Rollercoaster”, and her debut song “Why Don’t You Know” – songs proved to be loved by everyone, both fans and non-fans alike. The crowd went wild as Chungha ended off her set with “Bang Bang”, a performance in which she played a huge part creating the iconic choreography during her stint on Produce 101 back in 2016.

The last act for the night was NCT 127, kicking off their set with their hits “Fire Truck” and “Cherry Bomb”. Their perfectly synchronized dance moves and high energy proved why they receive so much love and attention not only in Singapore, but all around the world.

Just as we thought the cheers from the audience could not get any louder, NCTzens proved us wrong as their loud chants filled up the entire stadium when NCT 127 performed “Touch”, “Replay” and “Regular”. The sea of bright green light sticks, accompanied by the loud fan chants, was truly a sight that night.

“Even though we are not here (in Singapore), we will always be thankful, and we will always come back,” Mark said, before NCT 127 ended off the night with “Superhuman”.

Aside from the evening concert, a red carpet event ‘KAMP Grounds’ will be held at the OCBC Square on each festival day, where fans are in for an up-close engagement session with the artistes gracing the walk of fame. Unlike the usual style of a red carpet event, KAMP Grounds will feature a walkway in between four pens/zones, which give fans a closer access to directly engage with the artistes (think Hi-touch, autograph or even wefie opportunities).

To get access into one of these zones, simply be a Category 1 ticket holder and you’ll automatically be enrolled into a raffle to win special zone passes. The catch is, only those who purchase Cat 1 tickets before 20 Oct* will be entered into the raffle. (*Note: Find out more information of the respective zones here)

Concurrently, there are 3 contest events for ticket holders to participate and show their support to the performing acts:

1) Fan Art Event — Time to get your creative juices together by drawing or designing an artwork portraying your favourite #KAMPer artiste! This contest is open to all ticket holders regardless of your ticket category. Winning entries will have their artwork exhibited at the backstage and get it aired on KAMP Live Broadcast!

2) Fan Video Contest — Make a short video (up to 1 min) to express your love for your favourite act and submit a story that explains the video. This contest is open to all ticket holders regardless of your ticket category. Winning entries will be announced on site at KAMP Grounds and be broadcasted live, where artistes will be watching at the main stage.

3) KAMP Reporter Event — A chance to be a fan-reporter and ask questions directly to your favourite artistes! Only Cat 1 ticket holders will be able to participate in this event and stand to receive the exclusive access to the Fan Press Zone.
