HSBC WOMEN’S CHAMPIONS
MUSIC FESTIVAL
Leading local and US-based artists to join the
popular South Korean actor-singer to set the stage of champions alight.
SINGAPORE, 18 January 2017 – Popular South
Korean actor-singer, Lee Joon Gi, will be the headline act at the HSBC
Women’s Champions music festival, part of the prestigious ladies’ golf
tournament that takes place at Sentosa Golf Club on 2-5 March.
Following last year’s success when a
festival concept was introduced to the event which involved an exhilarating
performance by iconic British band Take That, the music programme on Saturday
4 March has been extended to a six-hour show to include performances by local
acts DJ Bounce Squad, Jack & Rai, and Gentle Bones; and upcoming US band,
Thirdstory, from 4pm.
The South Korean star, who made his debut in
2001, will light up the stage through his ‘Lee Joon Gi [Thank You] Asia Tour’
at 7pm at the driving range of the picturesque golf club.
A golf fan, Lee landed his first major role
in the 2005 film, “The King and the Clown”, which propelled him into
Asia-wide stardom and numerous coveted awards. After a string of successes on
the film and TV drama scene over the next decade, the 35-year-old took the
lead role of Wang So in “Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo”, a Korean remake of
the hugely popular Chinese television series, “Bu Bu Jing Xin.”
The multi-talented Lee, who will be
performing for the first time in Singapore, is also a versatile singer. He
has released a number of singles and mini-albums including ‘My Jun My Style’
(2006), ‘J Style’ (2009), which has both a Korean and a Japanese version,
‘Deucer’ (2012), and ‘Case By Case’ (2013). From upbeat dance tracks to
romantic ballads, the charismatic star’s ability to pull off any style has
allowed him to carve a name for himself in the highly competitive K-Pop
market.
Giles Morgan, Global Head of Sponsorship
and Events at HSBC, said:
“As a long term sponsor of the sport, our
mantra for several years has been that golf is Anyone’s Game – it’s our
ambition to open up the world of golf and attract a bigger audience. With
this in mind, we are always looking to innovate and try new things at our
flagship HSBC Women’s Champions event here in Singapore. Last year we
introduced the festival concept which proved to be a huge success with the
added music and food offerings attracting a brand new audience. This time
around we are delighted with our extended music festival programme featuring
acts from South Korea, USA, and Singapore. HSBC Women’s Champions really does
provide a unique stage for champions from in-and-outside the ropes to
showcase their talent.”
Jean Ng, Director, Sports, Singapore
Tourism Board, added:
“The 10th HSBC Women’s Champions is raising
the bar further on fan experience with its line-up of international and local
entertainment acts. Coupled with world-class golf action, we believe it will
attract both avid golf fans and casual leisure visitors, and enhance
Singapore’s position as a sports and entertainment hub.”
Robbie Henchman, Senior Vice President,
Head of IMG Asia Pacific, commented:
“The festival concept last year was
introduced to bring a new audience to the HSBC Women’s Champions and to offer
a completely different fan experience for those who come to the event as a
whole. This year, the music festival has been extended to a six-hour
programme, which commences on the Saturday right after the last putt,
allowing spectators to go straight from the intensity of the golf to the
party atmosphere of the concert. With acts from three different countries
offering very different types of music, ticket holders will be in for a real
treat this year.”
While these renowned artists will entertain
fans in the amphitheatre for one night only, the best in ladies’ golf from
around the world will compete on the new Tanjong Course over four days for
one of the most coveted trophies on the LPGA Tour. Defending Champion Ha Na
Jang of South Korea will be joined by her fellow top ten players including
world number one, two, and three – Lydia Ko, Ariya Jutanugarn, and In Gee
Chun.
Fans can choose to enjoy the Festival,
which includes the concert and access to the golf on Saturday 4 March, at
S$348 for a VIP ticket, or S$188 for Super Fan Zone, or S$148 for General
Admission.
