BigBang's Singapore concerts to provide masks, water points amid very unhealthy PSI

As BigBang's highly anticipated Singapore concerts on Oct 17 and 18 draw near, organiser AEG Presents Asia have issued advisories amid worsening haze conditions.

In an Instagram post today (Oct 16), AEG announced that face masks, water points throughout the venue and first aid services will be available to concertgoers.

Noting that the 24-hour Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) is in the "very unhealthy" range, they advised concertgoers to check the latest air quality updates before making their way to the venue.

"Your safety and well-being is our top priority," the statement read, adding that those who feel unwell are advised to seek medical attention immediately.

As of 12 noon today, the 24-hour PSI readings in the central, eastern and western regions are 226, 205 and 202 respectively. The readings in the southern and northern regions are in the unhealthy range at 184 and 153 respectively.

Another advisory shared by AEG yesterday informed concertgoers that measures have been put in place under the venue's haze management policy.

According to The Kallang, which operates the National Stadium, all indoor and outdoor activities will be suspended if the 24-hour PSI exceeds 300.

Concertgoers are also advised to:

• Check the latest air quality updates before heading to the venue and plan your visit accordingly.
• Consider wearing a mask if you are sensitive to haze.
• Stay hydrated and bring along a bottle of water (excluding glass and steel bottles; refillable in venue).
• Minimise prolonged outdoor activities where possible.
• Plan your route and arrival time to minimise time spent outdoors.
• Bring along personal medication if required.

Fans are thankful for AEG's preparations and are hoping the concerts would not be cancelled as they have waited 10 years for BigBang to return to Singapore.
