DARE Festival 2024

DARE Festival 2024 returns for its third year at Gateway Theatre on 13 November 2024, uniting dynamic talents in a celebration of art, inclusivity, and courage, to deliver a powerful message: art transcends all boundaries and abilities.

Headlined by world-renowned Singaporean jazz vocalist Jacintha and local pop sensation shazza, alongside Andrea Hosking, Sky Shen, and acclaimed pianist Azariah Tan, this year’s festival embarks on a transformative journey of self-discovery and empowerment through music, performance, and storytelling. Making her debut, Lily Goh — an influential figure in Singapore’s Deaf community — will deliver a powerful, inspiring performance, adding a new dimension to the festival’s inclusive celebration of artistic expression.

This year, DARE Festival 2024 has been made even more accessible to the Deaf community and individuals with vision impairment, featuring Singapore Sign Language interpreters, captions for deaf and hard of hearing, and audio descriptions for patrons who are blind. A calm room is available for patrons who need to relax and seek calm.
