SINGAPORE — LANY frontman Paul Klein is making the most of his Singapore visit before taking the stage with drummer Jake Goss for the band’s Soft World Tour concert tonight, November 4.
From grabbing fruit at a neighbourhood convenience store to shopping at a homegrown fashion label and meeting supporters at a special fan session, Klein has been giving Singapore fans a glimpse of the band’s time outside the concert venue.
The American pop-rock duo arrived in the city for their seventh visit, with their latest performance scheduled at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. Their return has generated excitement among local supporters, many of whom have followed the group since its earlier, more intimate performances in Singapore.
But it was Klein’s casual shopping trip — and his public show of support for a local business — that became one of the memorable moments leading up to the concert.
Paul Klein explores Singapore before the concert
Videos shared on LANY’s side Instagram account showed Klein exploring Singapore ahead of the group’s November 4 performance.
One of his first stops was a 7-Eleven outlet, where he picked up some fruit before heading to a shopping mall.
During his outing, fans recognised the singer and approached him for photographs. Klein appeared happy to spend time with supporters who encountered him while he was exploring the city.
The informal interactions offered a different experience from the usual concert setting, where fans typically see the musicians performing from a stage.
For supporters who happened to be in the same shopping area, the opportunity to meet the singer during an ordinary day out made the visit particularly memorable.
Singer visits homegrown fashion label Kerbside&Co
Klein also visited Kerbside&Co, a Singapore homegrown fashion label, where he purchased apparel and met the brand’s owner, Fahmy Ismail.
During the visit, Klein delivered a simple message that resonated with the local business community.
“You gotta support local business,” he said in a video shared online.
The comment highlighted his appreciation for independent businesses and gave the Singapore label an unexpected moment of international exposure.
Celebrity visits can bring additional attention to smaller brands, particularly when musicians share their experiences with followers through social media.
For Kerbside&Co, having an internationally recognised performer visit its store and purchase its products offered a memorable connection between Singapore’s local fashion scene and a global music act.
Klein’s visit also demonstrated that his time in Singapore was not limited to rehearsals, promotional commitments and preparations for the concert.
LANY meets fans at The Kallang
Shopping was not the only activity on the band’s schedule.
Klein and Goss also held a fan session at The Kallang on November 3, where they spent time with supporters and answered questions about their music, travels and experiences performing around the world.
The session was hosted by 987FM DJ Germaine Tan.
During the conversation, the musicians shared what they particularly enjoyed about visiting Singapore.
Klein praised the local audience, describing Singapore fans as some of the loudest in the world.
He also mentioned the food, specifically expressing his appreciation for chicken satay.
Goss, meanwhile, recalled trying jellyfish during an earlier visit to Singapore. His reaction was less enthusiastic, admitting that he did not particularly enjoy the experience.
The exchange gave fans a light-hearted look at the band’s memories of the country and the experiences that have stayed with them over the years.
Paul Klein explains what makes the Soft World Tour special
During the fan session, Tan also asked the musicians about the highlights of their ongoing Soft World Tour.
For Klein, one of the most rewarding aspects has been travelling internationally and hearing audiences sing the band’s songs, even when English is not their native language.
He explained that seeing how much the music means to people around the world makes the experience especially meaningful.
Goss offered another perspective, describing the feeling of performing in front of an audience as an experience in which everyone in the venue shares the same moment.
He said that the two-hour performance creates a special connection between the band and its audience, making every show something to appreciate.
Their comments reflect an important part of LANY’s appeal: the emotional connection between its music and listeners.
Songs that explore love, heartbreak, longing and personal relationships have helped the group develop a dedicated international following.
For many fans, attending a LANY concert is not simply about hearing familiar songs. It is also an opportunity to share those emotions with thousands of other people who connect with the same music.
Singapore has been part of LANY’s journey since 2017
The band’s relationship with Singapore goes back several years.
LANY first performed in the country in 2017 with a smaller local show at *Scape.
The group returned in 2018 for a performance at Capitol Theatre, followed by another appearance at Zepp@Bigbox in 2019.
In 2022, the band reached another milestone with its first Singapore Indoor Stadium show.
It returned to the venue again in 2024, building on its growing relationship with local audiences.
The November 4, 2026 performance marks another major stop in that journey.
The band’s continued appearances in Singapore reflect the strength of its regional following and the importance of Southeast Asian audiences to its international touring schedule.
For fans who have followed the group since its earlier shows, the latest visit also represents an opportunity to see how far the musicians have progressed since their first performances in the country.
From bedroom recordings to international arenas
Klein also reflected on the band’s beginnings during the fan session.
He recalled how LANY started by creating songs in a bedroom and uploading them to the internet, without knowing whether anyone would listen.
The singer expressed gratitude to fans for helping turn those early recordings into a successful international music career.
He described the support as something that helped make the band’s dreams possible.
The journey from uploading music online to performing in major venues around the world has become an important part of LANY’s story.
The group has developed a catalogue that includes popular songs such as “ILYSB”, “Malibu Nights”, “Thru These Tears” and “Super Far”.
Its music has connected with listeners through a combination of atmospheric pop-rock production, emotional lyrics and memorable melodies.
For Klein, the opportunity to continue travelling and performing for audiences every night is something he does not take for granted.
He also acknowledged the unusual lifestyle that comes with touring, including spending extended periods living out of a suitcase.
Nevertheless, he said that the experience is worthwhile because it allows the band to continue making music and sharing it with fans.

More than a concert: LANY’s connection with Singapore fans
Klein and Goss’ latest visit has offered supporters several opportunities to connect with the band beyond its music.
Klein’s shopping trip, his support for a local fashion label and the band’s fan session all added personal moments to the group’s return.
The musicians’ comments about Singapore’s food, enthusiastic audiences and earlier visits also showed that the country has become a familiar and meaningful stop on their touring journey.
For longtime fans, these interactions are another reminder that the relationship between a band and its audience can extend beyond the stage.
The concert may be the biggest event of the visit, but the smaller encounters have helped build excitement ahead of the performance.
AsiaOne also said an E-Junkies interview with LANY would be released soon, giving fans another opportunity to hear from the musicians.
THE BOTTOM LINE
LANY’s return to Singapore has already delivered more than anticipation for another major concert.
Before the band’s November 4 performance at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, Paul Klein explored the city, visited a 7-Eleven, met fans at a shopping mall and purchased apparel from homegrown fashion label Kerbside&Co.
His message about supporting local businesses also gave the Singapore brand a memorable moment of recognition.
Together with Jake Goss, Klein also attended a fan session at The Kallang, where the musicians praised Singapore audiences, talked about local food and reflected on the experiences that make touring around the world worthwhile.
The visit marks another chapter in LANY’s relationship with Singapore, which began with a smaller performance in 2017 and has since grown into repeated appearances at major venues.
For fans, the excitement is now building toward tonight’s concert.
With Paul Klein showing love for Singapore’s local businesses and LANY preparing for another major performance, will this year’s Soft World Tour stop become one of the band’s most memorable visits yet?
