These Are The Laufey-Approved Events In Singapore To Check Out
Gen-Z’s queen of jazz-pop Laufey has more in store for fans with the launch of her global event A Very Laufey Day on September 8.
By Lucy Lauron,
With a recent Grammy, massive fanbases on TikTok (and everywhere else, really), our March 2024 cover face Laufey has single-handedly brought back jazz to Gen Z with her critically acclaimed jazz-pop album, Bewitched.
The chanteuse was just in Singapore for the Asian leg of her Bewitched: Goddess Tour this past week - unfortunately for many fans here, tickets to her concert completely sold out once they were announced last May.
That said, Singapore-based Lauvers (the nickname for her fans) can still look forward to a lineup of exciting Laufey-themed events. The singer has just announced the launch of A Very Laufey Day – a global event commemorating the one-year anniversary of her breakout album Bewitched, slated to takes place September 8.
A Very Laufey Day is basically a line-up of the singer's favourite activities - if you're a fan, you'll know that the singer is a massive bookworm – she even has her own bookclub that has a 169K-strong following on Instagram. It should come as no surprise then, that A Very Laufey Day places heavy emphasis on books - and ice cream.
Here are three events that you can look forward to in Singapore – if you're planning on participating, share your adventures on Instagram with the hashtag #AVeryLaufeyDay to stand a chance of being featured on the event’s official website.
