Those who frequently ride the North-South Line (NSL) would know about the considerable travel time between Yew Tee and Kranji stations.
While some may sink themselves into their phones, others may look out the window longingly while listening to their favourite tunes.
However, if you happen to hear music coming from outside the train while you’re making the journey on 26 Nov, that means the MYBeats Music Festival at Singapore Turf Club is in full swing.

The latest local music festival on our sunny shores, this four-hour concert-slash-food festival will feature some of our country’s hottest musical talents, including hip-hop stars ALYPH and ShiGGa Shay.
After a two-year concert drought, Singaporeans are fiending to catch more live performances.
Knowing that, the Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC is organising the very first MYBeats Music Festival for youths and young adults to get their groove on for four hours.
One of the highlights of the non-stop line-up of performances is ALYPH, the Singaporean rapper who’s cracked the TikTok code with his latest single, ‘SWIPE’.
Playing on the whole online dating phenomenon, the song talks about how he’s confident in his choices, “swiping” on the things he likes and dislikes.

The confidence-boosting track has been used and danced to numerous times on TikTok, proving his popularity with the young and hip crowd.
Alongside ALYPH, his label mate ShiGGa Shay will also be taking to the MYBeats Music Festival stage.

After delivering rousing performances at the National Day Parade 2022 and the Singapore Grand Prix, the homegrown rapper will wow crowds once again with his husky voice.

The hip-hop duo aren’t the only ones who will be hyping up the crowd that day. Here’s the full list of acts:
If you’re into hip-hop and R&B, then this music festival will be just up your alley.
No music festival is complete without an equally exciting lineup of F&B trucks and stalls replenishing our energy levels so that we can enjoy the show to the fullest.
Supplying you with the liquid courage to dance your heart out at the MYBeats Music Festival will be Mikkeller Singapore.

The Danish brand will bring an eclectic mix of novel beer flavours brewed with coffee, yuzu, and chilli. Like the musical line-up, the diverse beers on tap will bring a good jolt to the system.

You know a burger is good when each bite is dripping with juices and sauces, which is guaranteed with The Goodburger.
Of course, there will be plenty of other food trucks and stalls to satisfy any appetite and craving. Here’s the full list of establishments pulling up for the festival:
Since you’re already blessing your ears with good music, why not give your tastebuds some love too?
Snagging a souvenir is the best way to remember a wonderful time. At the MYBeats Music Festival, that means participating in fringe activities rarely seen elsewhere.
Photos are a nifty way to capture the moment. Instead of just snapping them through a phone and slapping a filter on it, getting them printed would immortalise the moment for a lifetime.
Dollop will bring their famous photobooths to the event, allowing guests to snap pictures with their prop of choice and leave with a set of instantly printed pictures.

If you want to take your IG post to the next level, strike a pose – or 10 – for the 360-degree camera and make a cool gif out of it.

These are the same cameras used at red carpet events in Hollywood, where the camera will swirl around you to record a slick slow-mo video from every angle.
Lastly, since we’re near the Turf Club, the staff there will set up a horseshoe hydro-dipping station, where you can pick up a horseshoe and decorate it to your heart’s content.

Once you’ve conjured up your preferred pattern and colour combo, the horseshoe will be dipped in water with paint on the surface, transferring the design onto it.

Whether you choose to hang it up on your bedroom wall or let it sit proudly on a shelf, the colourful horseshoe will be a stylish conversation starter during your next holiday gathering.

Previously suffering a stroke, the father kept the door to his HDB unit unlocked so…
He doubled his food intake and drank large amounts of water before his physical examination.
Time to make your list and check it twice.
The abuser was later found and arrested.
Concerns were raised about the potential dangers and risks of such actions.
