Get ready to discover local music like never before with the second installment of HOMEGROWN Festival, a two-day festival that highlights local artists and creatives. Happening on 17 and 18 October at the OCBC Square, the festival boasts an exciting lineup to represent the diversity of local artists across genres and musical styles.
Produced by Music & Drama Company (MDC), the festival returns even more electrifying, energetic, and exciting since its debut in 2024. On day one, this year’s stage will be lit up by artists such as Heema Izatti, who recently delivered a jaw-dropping performance at NDP 2025 with her cover of 'Room at the Table'. Accompanying her on stage will be soulful singer and songwriter Krysta Joy, who is bound to touch the hearts of the audience with her sincere lyrics and warm voice.
Joining the roster is TP Music Vox, a student-led initiative and CCA from Temasek Poly that explores various genres of music fueled by their passion. Also taking the stage will be genre-defying artist Thaarmin, who will be accompanied by rising talent Xena Gao and versatile and diverse artist YAØ, best known for his signature R&B flair.
Headlining day 2 will be chart-busting artist Sezairi, with sets by breakthrough artist Elvern, alongside budding artist FVISION. Also joining the bill will be indie-rock darlings Houston Fire Support, who held their debut performance at HOMEGROWN Festival last year. Also performing will be R&B artist lewloh, ready to deliver his soulful music and vocals together with MDC artistes RINES, Dominic Chin, and Gail Belmonte.
