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.
Construction of Las Vegas Sands' US$8 billion expansion of Marina Bay Sands (MBS) in Singapore is in full swing, with a fourth tower set to be completed by January 2031. Among the new facilities, a 15,000-seat arena is designed to be the "leading live entertainment venue in Asia", hosting top concert tours and performers. Promoters and MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions) events are already expressing interest in booking the venue.
MBS is working with global design firm Populous, known for iconic venues like the Sphere in Las Vegas and the O2 Arena in London. The arena will boast best-in-class acoustics, production flexibility, and the ability to switch between concerts, sports, and MICE events. MBS plans to hire more than 100 technical specialists, including lighting and audio-visual technicians, starting next year.
