Got what it takes to be Chinatown’s singing superstar?

Grab the mic, hit the stage, and battle it out for the ultimate title: the first-ever Chinatown Idol!

This is a fun, family-friendly event for singers of all ages, skill levels and genres.

Whether you like spitting disses like Kendrick, channelling your inner Swiftie, jopping to k-pop classics, or belting classic 70s Chinese ballads (Teresa Teng fans, where you at?), the stage is yours!

🔥 Hosted by the hilarious comedienne Wandi (@dededeerdeer) to keep the laughs going between sets.

🎖 Winners determined by a panel of lighthearted judges, the audience and you! So invite all your friends and groupies to cheer you on!

🏆 Awesome prizes for winners and runner-ups! Plus goodies and snacks for all attendees courtesy of our amazing Chinatown community. Stay tuned for the prize reveal 👀

Come for a night of singing, then wander the Friday Chinatown Night Markets, all in the Neon Playground.
