NAC-ExxonMobil Concert in the Gardens

The NAC-ExxonMobil Concert in the Park series was launched in 1996, with the aim of bringing the arts to new audiences and exposing them to various art forms through a series of quality concerts held at accessible parks. The target audiences include neighbourhood communities, youth, families and senior citizens. The series is sponsored by ExxonMobil and supported by National Parks Board and has been generally well-received by the public over the years.

Usually held four times a year, NAC-ExxonMobil Concert in the Park brings you an afternoon of quality performances and fringe activities, featuring emerging and established artists.

NAC-ExxonMobil Concert in the Gardens presents Budak Pantai

📅 1 Mar 2025
🕙 6pm – 7pm
📍 Shaw Foundation Symphony Stage

Let homegrown a cappella mavericks Budak Pantai take you on a musical joyride filled with smooth harmonies, cheeky twists, and songs you know and love—some given a fresh (and possibly irreverent) spin. From soulful ballads to bopping tunes, expect an evening where anything can happen, and probably will.

So spread out your picnic mats, warm up your vocal cords, and get ready to laugh, sing, and maybe even join in the fun – because with Budak Pantai, the music isn’t just on stage, it’s everywhere.

About the performers

Budak Pantai can be summed up in one word: “fun”. The quintet, billed as “five men and a guitar” and hence not exactly a cappella, have a well-earned reputation for being ceaselessly entertaining and irreverent. With five albums, one EP and numerous gigs under their belt, they are a hit everywhere they go, making audiences reportedly swoon, sing along and laugh out loud. Always adaptable and giving their best every time they perform live, they can easily belt out Christmas humdingers and ABBA evergreens as well as original zingers in English and Mandarin.
