Concerts, sports, and Mice: Promoters line up for new MBS arena
Opening in 2031, the 15,000-seat venue will host global acts, says integrated resort’s COO Paul Town
In 2031, a grand entertainment venue with a seating capacity of 15,000 seats is set to open in Singapore as part of the Marina Bay Sands (MBS) expansion. The integrated resort, projected to cost US$8 billion, includes a fourth tower and is currently in full construction as of 2022. The new arena, overseen by Paul Town, COO of MBS and the integrated resort’s head executive, will attract top concert tours and performers.
Promoters and Mice events have already shown interest in the facility. Designed by Populous, a global design firm, the arena will feature superior acoustics and production flexibility, inviting the best regional and international acts. The multi-purpose venue will host sports and Mice events as well, providing a versatile entertainment hub.
MBS plans to hire over 100 specialists for the arena, including lighting and audio-visual technicians, and entertainment riggers. Construction of the first few levels has already begun, with the official opening slated for January 2031.
