Get ready to unleash your imagination and be whisked away to a one-of-a-kind space adventure as we count down to a New Year with STAR ISLAND Singapore Countdown 2020 – a multi-sensory fireworks musical show that interfuses larger-than-life pyrotechnics and dazzling lights, 3D surround sound and world-class performance acts into a single, seamless performance.
Featuring Singapore’s largest synchronised drone show performance to accompany the other dynamic show elements of STAR ISLAND, STAR ISLAND SINGAPORE COUNTDOWN EDITION 2019-2020, in conjunction with Marina Bay Singapore Countdown 2020, is set to transform The Float @ Marina Bay on 31 December into a whole new imaginary universe. Centred around a new story, 2019: A SPACE ODYSSEY, you will get to enter the gateway into this mysterious parallel galaxy and experience the magic of an action-packed and immersive futuristic hanabi entertainment show.
Said Kenji Kohashi, Creative Director of STAR ISLAND: “We are determined to create the best countdown show for Singaporeans to usher in the New Year show, and have been planning how to choreograph 500 drones into a spectacular storyline that will be in symphony with the fireworks, 3D surround sound, laser show and stage performances – painting the skies with the Marina Bay as the backdrop. It will be a daunting task but a sight to behold as technology and artistry converge to transport everyone into a brand new and exciting experience.”
STAR ISLAND Singapore Countdown 2020 – What You Are In For
The sophomore edition of STAR ISLAND SINGAPORE COUNTDOWN 2020 is set to be even grander this year. From 5pm, you and your loved ones will be entertained as you stepped into a variety of activities specially curated for everyone in the family.
Revel to live DJ performances, explore the family-friendly entertainment zone, interact and pose for pictures with roving art performances, or munch on the varied mouth-watering delights at the food village.
Hanabi – the Japanese word for fireworks – is a long-standing summer tradition all across Japan, where people gather to eat, drink and watch firework displays in the cooler summer nights. Come nightfall, expect to be wowed when the Japanese hanabi artisans present this year’s thoughtfully-conceptualised fireworks musical extravaganza – action-packed with the latest Japanese-designed fireworks, cutting-edge technologies and new experiential show elements.
You will get to travel through space and navigate STAR ISLAND across six chapters – Ceremony, Another Earth, Galaxy Party, Gravity, Microcosmos, and the Grand Finale. Each chapter is also choreographed to a unique soundtrack that is turned up a notch by 3D surround sound technology produced by special speakers – wrapping and immersing you with the ultimate audio-sensory experience.
Set against the unique Marina Bay city skyline, breathtaking made-in-Japan fireworks will illuminate the sky into a kaleidoscope of colours. Each burst of colourful fireworks is specially designed by skilled Japanese fireworks artisans using traditional techniques rooted in over 160 years of history.
Melding with laser projections and pyrotechnics, the display becomes a dynamic visual canvas in symphony to the theatrical world-class acts performed by Olympians and ex-members from famous circus troupes, renowned ballerinas, contemporary dancers, and fire twirlers. You and your loved ones will also find yourselves further immersed with individual LED wristbands that respond to the show, adding your own light to the celebrations.
Kenji added, “With new technology injected into the upcoming show, it is a unique contemporary Hanabi experience where visitors will feel like they are entering an out-of-this-world imaginary galaxy through a thrilling space adventure. We hope the show will inspire them to dream and hope for the future as the nation opens a new chapter into 2020. ”
Produced by Japan’s top entertainment group Avex, STAR ISLAND is an original concept that elevates traditional Japanese Hanabi2 to unprecedented levels, combining it with cutting-edge technologies such as 3D sound, light displays, and experiential show elements. Prior to coming to Singapore, STAR ISLAND has presented three sold-out shows in Japan, as well as debuting for the first time in the Middle East, in celebration of Saudi Arabia’s National Day.
