Jazz Up Your Living Room With These Virtual Parties

Bored in your pyjamas and tired of replaying the same tunes over and over again? Life in lockdown does not have to be mundane. Aside from the constant drone of zoom calls, Houseparty or Jackbox games, here is a selection of parties that go beyond just being a livestream. From VR and instagram filters, occasions to dress up to, virtual partying will never be the same again.


ANDSOFORTH 

Late night gaming using a solitaire app or playing bingo has never been more spunky with a series of numbered cards and ridiculous mini-games that will have you running to your toilet. With an eclectic sense of humour, Stu-art Wee and Emily Png start off the night by guiding you through a home-made cocktail concoction before injecting innocuous fun into the session. Tickets are limited to the first 100, so don’t forget to hit subscribe before their next session.

Marquee Singapore

Party purple with international DJ icons, Nicky Romero, Steve Aoki and Andrew Rayel tonight, Friday, 22 May at 9pm via Twitch and Zoom. Put on your best DIY headdress and stand to win attractive prizes such as a Samsung Galaxy watch, or participate in an online TikTok Dance challenge with the rest of your Marquee squad. Other DJs in their online party series include Dash Berlin, MarLo, Dannic, Blasterjaxx and Paul Van Dyk.

Noah Tepperberg, co-founder, Tao Group Hospitality, said: “We knew when we entered Singapore that we were going into a sophisticated nightlife and dining scene, and our product would have to be adjusted and adapted accordingly. It was a lot of leg work and a great partnership with Marina Bay Sands that led us to create something so unique and special. We may be physically apart during this current period in Singapore, but we still hope to bring a slice of Marquee’s nightlife to our fans’ homes. We are so grateful to everyone who has made our first year so memorable and we can’t wait to welcome our guests back when we re-open.”

Music Matters Live from Home

The 13-year old independent music festival will be on hiatus this year but they have kept their spirits up by bringing you acts from around the region every Tuesday and Thursday, such as Keiko Necesario, Jesse Ruben, Fuzz Culture and Your Girl Pho. On Wednesdays, they have launched a new 6 part series in conjunction with the Singapore Tourism Board featuring Canadian Rockers, Simple Plan, “South-East Asia has always been a very special place for us and we have loved touring there since the first time we got to visit the region back in 2002. We have incredible memories of amazing shows and hanging out with our fans who have welcomed us with open arms and embraced the band since day one.”

Branded Ltd Founder and CEO Jasper Donat said “For 15 years Music Matters has brought artists together from all over the world to perform live on stage and attend our conferences and academies in Singapore. By taking it online, Music Matters Live From Home allows us to create some amazing international musical collaborations which may never have been possible before. We are thrilled to be able to provide this platform to the artists and are extremely grateful to the incredible Simple Plan for their generosity and for turning a small concept into a very big idea. We also want to thank YouTube Music and Facebook Music for bringing it to life and of course our friends at the Singapore Tourism Board for making it all possible.”

In lieu of industry showcase All That Matters,  they will also be hosting a virtual live event for all budding singers and songwriters in September 2020. Why not take a chance at stardom, here.
