FRIDAY 20 SEPTEMBER – SPORTY SPICE MELANIE C HITTING THE DECKS

She also experienced TV success as a judge on the BBC1 Saturday night show “Superstar” that chose the lead role of Jesus.
SATURDAY 21 SEPTEMBER – THE CUBAN BROTHERS, A RISQUE MUSICAL COMEDY TROUPE
Super Saturday of The Podium Lounge Singapore sees The Cuban Brothers performing sexy, soulful music and mind-blowing dance routines made famous on the stages of Glastonbury and Bestival.
The Hawaiian suit-sporting crew and their outrageous, X-rated antics may be a comedy act, but they’re simultaneously serious musicians who have played with Prince, been on the road with James Brown and supported Fatboy Slim, Chuck Berry and De La Soul. In 2018 they celebrated their 20th Anniversary with a special tour of the Scottish Highlands & Islands and the release of their latest compilation ’La Familia’ featuring one new Cubans track – I Hate Hate – alongside classics by Herbie Hancock, Children Of Zeus and D’Angelo. Everyone from Elton John, Robbie Williams and Richard Branson to Davina McCall have called on the Cubans to sprinkle their magic.
From sold-out tours, mega-festivals and support slots for rock royalty to crazy club nights, film roles and fashion shows, The Cuban Brothers’ unparalleled act is ingrained in pop culture. Miguel and his suspect sidekicks are renowned the world over for their party-starting skills, risqué sketches, B-boy moves and funk-fuelled music.
