Dal Shabet, MediaCorp artistes to add shine to NTU Fest 2015

K-pop girl group Dal Shabet will perform at a free concert held on Aug 29 at the Marina Bay Promontory, as part of the Nanyang Technological University’s NTU Fest 2015, an event which marks the start of NTU’s new academic year.

NTU Fest is also part of the university’s celebration of the Singapore's Golden Jubilee.

“University life holds our best memories of school, especially when we attend live concerts and have fun together. We’re very excited to be in Singapore performing for such a meaningful event and we will do our best to put up a good show for all our fans here. We hope everyone will come and support NTU Fest!” said Dal Shabet in a media release on Tuesday (Jul 21).

Over a dozen MediaCorp artistes, such as the stars of upcoming Channel 8 drama Sealed With A Kiss, Elvin Ng, Rebecca Lim and Jeffrey Xu, will also take to the stage at the event. Nat Ho, Eswari Gunasagar, Elfaeza Ul Haq along with other cast members of Channel 5’s 199-episode drama Tanglin will make an appearance at NTU Fest 2015 as well.

“Music and performance have the power to bring people across generations and communities together, and we are delighted to support the NTU Fest through the participation of our artistes and personalities.

"This is also an opportunity for us to support NTU students in a major initiative they are running. We’re truly impressed by their ideas, energy and drive to put together a great event for the community in a very special year for the nation," said Mr Lai Mun Dart, Head, Youth Segment, MediaCorp. MediaCorp is a Platinum Media Partner of NTU Fest 2015.

Mr Heng Swee Keat, Minister for Education and Chairman of the Singapore50 (SG50) Steering Committee, will kick off the evening concert by performing a National Day song, with the finalists of this year’s The Final 1 televised singing competition.

Apart from the evening concert, which will be hosted by 987FM radio deejays Gerald Koh and Joakim Gomez, there will also be a carnival and a charity run at NTU Fest 2015.

This is the second year that NTU Fest is being organised. Last year’s NTU Fest at the Padang, which featured Running Man’s Kang Gary, Korean singer Jung In and a slew of MediaCorp artistes, drew more than 8,000 people.
