Music Matters Live 2019: HUGO and Zendyll Records present a stellar lineup at the Made in Singapore stage

Music Matters will be back in Singapore this September. Performances will kick off at the Clarke Quay Central Fountain Square on 13 September and will run for six nights until 18 September. Expect to hear 50 top emerging acts from 15 countries at participating venues such as Crazy Elephant, Zouk and Timbre. The best part of it, though; it's completely free of charge.

The first wave of lineup announcements was released via the festival's Instagram today. Highlights include Japanese girl group DEAR KISS, Filipino singer-songwriter Andreah, Taiwanese Tai-Ke rock band Amazing Show, Israeli instrumentalist Totem, Estonian electro trio I Wear Experiment, and Australian rising star Billy Davis and The Good Lords.

Singapore's music talent will be featured prominently this time around too. Zendyll Records has partnered up with HUGO to present the Made in Singapore showcase's main stage debut on 14 September. THELIONCITYBOY, RRILEY, ShiGGa Shay, Aisyah Aziz, Estelle Fly, and DJ Myrne are just some of the names that have been confirmed so far.

Music Matters Live 2019 will run from 13 to 18 September across several venues in Clarke Quay. Entry is free.
