Fireworks are a must at every countdown. Still, if you’re looking for something extra special, then you’ll definitely dig the immersive live entertainment lineup at Star Island. The event, held at The Float @ Marina Bay, will see an 80-minute array of sound and colours, alongside Star Island’s stunning drone ballet – a choreography of 400 flying devices – that will act in unison, as they deftly create Instagram-worthy images. Of course, there will also be a fireworks display at the end of the show, which is designed with Singapore in mind, with a red-to-white time gradation display.
