Combining the thrill of water parks and excitement of music festivals is Out Of The World 2.0. With Steve Aoki and James Hype among the headliners, this music festival promises to be a blast. Over the course of three days, more than 50 acts will be taking the stage and keeping the music pumping for 12 hours a day. While you’re not dancing with the crowd by the stages, you can keep yourself entertained at the Water Inflatable Zone or get your appetites fed at F&B Hall. There is also a Rest & Massage area for those who need a little kickback from all the happenings.

When: From now to 19 February 2024
Where: National Art Gallery
Price: Free entry
An exhibit to add to your artsy agenda this weekend is Dhan Illiani’s art installation at the National Art Gallery titled ‘Niyat’. Its name is derived from the Malay word “niat” and Arabic’s “niyyah”, which both mean purpose and intention. Coincidentally, it is also the nickname that those close to Dhan Illiani call her. The experiential installation highlights societal assumptions, problems, and expectations with its different elements—including tattooed hearts on leather head coverings that represent wearing your heart on your sleeve. Like the multidisciplinary she is, Dhan Iliani is also a professional women’s hockey player on the national team. In ‘Niyat’, you can also explore her love for art and sports, and discover how both forms are more similar than you think.
