The music didn’t stop on Sunday!
Day 3 of Music Matters Live 2025 hit Clarke Quay on 28 September with another diverse lineup that proved why it remains a highlight in Singapore’s music calendar.
With an overwhelming number of incredible acts across four days, catching every performance was nearly impossible! (Special shout-out to Oak Soe Khant (MM), whose dedicated fan base turned up strong despite the hot Sunday afternoon!)
Here are three standout performances on Day 3:
MINH (VN)
Dressed in smart casual with white top and black pants, MINH took the Mainstage and immediately captivated the crowd with his vocals.
He was accompanied by a drummer for his set as he performed songs like soulful, somber ‘Fake Happy’ and upbeat number ‘Gossip’.
He also debuted his new single about moving on from an ex, ‘Out With Grace’, before its official release. He went out with a bang after giving away copies of his printed setlist to the crowd.
MINH excels at blending soul with R&B, constantly experimenting to create a fresh sound.
Last Minute (SG)
Meet Last Minute, the band who took the crown in this year’s Youth Music Matters band competition. Their youthful energy drew a substantial crowd as they started with a song cover to Måneskin’s ‘Beggin’.
The rock band continued with their originals like ‘Bullet Train’ and even an unreleased track ‘Pool of The Hearts’. Fans were jumping and rocking it out with the band.
They went all out with ‘Prescribing God (to the broken hearted)’, a track channeling early 2000s Simple Plan energy. The band rallied the crowd to make some noise, and fans enthusiastically obliged.
Last Minute also did a last-minute encore with ‘My????!!?!?? THERAPY’, a song dedicated to 2000s emo rock. The enthusiastic crowd even opened up a mosh pit in the middle of Clarke Quay, a testament to the band’s infectious energy.
Adrian Dzvuke (AU)
Adrian Dzvuke came ready to party and delivered high-energy hits on Day 3. (Check out his other set at Senor Taco here.)
This was the second consecutive year that the singer-songwriter performed on the Mainstage. This time, he brought local dancers from Wolfpack SG to spice up the atmosphere.
Adrian played upbeat love tracks from his latest EP now that it’s over including ‘wicked’, ‘focus’ and ‘find my way’. The crowd quickly found their way to clapping and singing along.
His signature blend of R&B, pop, and Afrobeat had the crowd grooving and partying along. Adrian also sung older dance tracks like ‘NEW LOOK’, as he recorded his Music Matters Look on stage as part of the performance.
He also showed off his grooves with ‘wannabe’, his smooth vocals over slower synth beats with ‘maybe sometime’ and ‘say what you want’. He invited the crowd to sing along to the chorus.
He closed the set with his latest release, ‘Royalty’, an energetic, groovy song with emotionally charged melodies.
From afternoon performances under the hot sun to evening sets that had Clarke Quay bouncing, Day 3 was a testament to the dedication of both artists and fans. The final day of Music Matters Live 2025 awaits!
