Big music acts coming to Singapore in the past year have led to more work for local players both on and off stage, including local electronic musician Jasmine Sokko who opened for Coldplay in 2024, and audio visual production company Showtec Group which has worked with major acts such as Blackpink, Mayday, Coldplay, Maroon 5, and SEVENTEEN. It has also fuelled more interest from students who see it as a viable career path, with Republic Polytechnic seeing 30 per cent more applicants choosing its Arts, Media and Design courses as their top choice compared to a year ago, setting the stage for future growth.
