Mediacorp’s Let’s Celebrate 2026 welcomed the new year with a refreshing shift in setting, bringing its annual countdown celebration to Siloso Beach, Sentosa for a relaxed yet high-energy beachfront party. The sandy stage, tropical backdrop, and open-air festival atmosphere made for a vibrant alternative to the usual city-centre countdowns, giving fans a uniquely seaside way to ring in 2026.

Front and centre were Red Velvet’s Irene & Seulgi, whose appearance instantly became one of the night’s most talked-about moments. Performing against the beachfront scenery, the duo delivered a confident and high-impact set that had fans cheering long before midnight. From tight choreography to strong vocals, Irene & Seulgi brought a lively energy that set the tone for the evening, proving why they remain one of K-pop’s most iconic sub-units.

The celebration also featured performances by a range of local and regional artistes, offering a mix of pop, electronic, and vocal-driven acts that kept the crowd engaged throughout the evening. Each performance was met with enthusiastic applause from the crowd, who danced and sang along, creating a communal sense of excitement that stretched across the beach.

As the final moments of 2025 approached, fans joined together to count down to 2026, surrounded by the soothing ocean breeze and festive lights. When the fireworks erupted over Siloso Beach, the night sky lit up in a kaleidoscope of colours, reflecting off the water and adding an extra touch of magic to the celebration. The combination of music, sand, sea, and spectacle created a tropical festival feel that was both exhilarating and distinctly Singaporean.

Beyond the performances, the event’s open-air format allowed for a more immersive experience, with attendees being able to enjoy the beach, the sounds of the waves, and the lively atmosphere in a way that a traditional indoor countdown cannot replicate.

With Irene & Seulgi fronting the beachfront festivities, Mediacorp’s Let’s Celebrate 2026 delivered a memorable start to the new year, combining music, tropical vibes, and community spirit to create an unforgettable New Year’s Eve experience by the beach.
