CONCERT JJ LIN JJ20 FINAL LAP WORLD TOUR SINGAPORE National Stadium Dec 28

For his return to The Lion City, JJ Lin has switched things up.

The superstar's JJ20 Final Lap World Tour is marketed as the second leg of his JJ20 World Tour, which celebrates the Singaporean's 20th anniversary in show business. It first stopped at the National Stadium for two concerts in 2022.

His new leg kicked off on Dec 28 at the same venue, this time attended by 30,000 concertgoers. He performed again on Dec 29, also to a sold-out crowd.

After this, the tour will travel to other cities such as San Francisco and Toronto.

The new show was dramatically different, with a new wardrobe, video segments and set list. A new stage design featured a catwalk leading to a B-stage, bringing Lin closer to the audience.

Of the 40 songs he performed solo on Dec 28, 23 did not get an airing at his 2022 Singapore gigs, and five have not been performed here before.
