9 romantic Valentine's Day gigs and events to check out in Singapore this February

February is here and we all know what that means: it is once again time to start making plans for the most romantic day of the year (if you haven't already done so).

A candlelight dinner, a picnic with a view, and a movie date are probably the first ideas that come to mind when you are thinking of how to celebrate Valentine's Day with that special someone. But if you really want to impress them, there's no better way to do so than by surprising them with a gift that never gets old — music.

To help you plan a date that neither one of you will forget, Hear65 has compiled a guide to local Valentine's Day gigs and events that you do not want to miss this month. From an electrifying rock concert to a swing-themed dance party, there's something here for every pair of lovebirds.
