NDP 2025: Largest Mobile Stage in Parade History at Padang

The National Day Parade 2025 features creative director Boo Junfeng and performers such as Matthew S.T. Sunil, Jennifer Thevajenner, Rahimah Rahim, and Benjamin Kheng.

The 2025 National Day Parade (NDP) will feature a 360-degree moving stage at the Padang, the largest mobile stage in NDP history. The stage is 15m in diameter, three-tiered, 20,000kg, and can rise up to 7m high with 270 LED screens. There will be eight island stages around the Padang. Buildings like the Fullerton Hotel and UOB Plaza One will showcase SG60-themed artworks by local artists.

Land and water floats designed by artists with disabilities will be featured. Boo Junfeng returns as creative director for NDP 2025, which celebrates Singapore's 60th year of independence. The show will include 39 home-grown artistes and over 3,000 performers from different generations and genres.

The live show will extend from the Padang to Marina Bay for the first time. Performances on a mobile floating stage in Marina Bay will be mounted on a Republic of Singapore Navy's (RSN) Fast Craft Utility. A pre-parade segment will open with a musical film and an original song by Benjamin Kheng.

The show is divided into four acts inspired by the national anthem, Majulah Singapura. Acts will celebrate Singapore's diverse society, personal dreams, resilience, and collective aspirations. The final act will culminate in a sing-along of classic NDP anthems with a fireworks display.

The audience will reflect on Singapore as a home. Performers include dancers Jennifer Thevajenner and Matthew S.T. Sunil, who are returning for their seventh NDP performance.
