Four-act show features 39 artistes and over 3,000 performers from diverse backgrounds

A nation together this is what it sounds like

Tradition dictated that an audience of 27,000 men, women and children came not just to watch the show segment of the National Day Parade (NDP), but also be a part of it, with everyone contributing to the visual spectacle through LED wristbands that emitted lights in sync with the performances.

On the various stages, the spirit of collaboration was in the air as some of Singapore's top singers, musicians, dancers and performers gathered for a show that celebrated the nation's diversity.

From duets to joint performances, the line-up featured 39 artistes from different genres and generations as well as more than 3,000 performers of all ages and abilities.

This was the first show segment to feature synchronised performances between the main venue, the Padang, and the stage in Marina Bay.

Inspired by the words of the National Anthem, the show comprised four acts celebrating the population's shared journey and aspirations, and its unity as a nation.

Act One - Our People, Our Diversity opened with singer-songwriter Charlie Lim and Mandopop star Kit Chan singing Here We Are, the 2025 NDP theme song.
