One last Wanna One
Given this year’s spectacular line-up, fans in the region can look forward to a slew of exciting performances. Shout and cheer (or cry; we did the same when we finally caught Radiohead live) for your favourite acts while basking yourself in the glory of popular groups like BTOB and Apink. Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon will make her first solo performance in Singapore, and sexy sirens AOA will make an appearance as well.
