Here's How DNCE Celebrated Joe Jonas' Birthday In Singapore

The band’s debut show in Singapore certainly left fans going ‘crazy crazy’ with their insane body moves and infectious hits.

DNCE’s first performance in Singapore, was in many ways, more than just a concert.

Performing at the Suntec City Convention Centre, it felt somewhat like a Zumba class with people jumping and punching their arms in the air. It was a theatrical performance of quirky dance moves and animated facial expressions. And to top it off, it was also lead singer’s Joe Jonas’ birthday.

More than that, it was an intimate showcase where the pop-rock quartet performed songs from their debut self-titled album, which included hits like ‘Cake By The Ocean’, ‘Body Moves’, ‘Toothbrush’, and ‘Kissing Strangers’. The band also went with playful covers of ’90s classics, such as ‘Wanna Be’ by the Spice Girls, ‘Oops! … I Did It Again’ by Britney Spears, and ‘We Are The Champions’ by Queen.

How intimate could a concert get, you might ask. Well enough to catch guitarist Jinjoo engaging the crowd with an adorable finger heart sign. Enough to see the beads of perspiration glistening from Joe Jonas’ forehead. And enough to count every single one of Cole Whittle’s tatted-up abdominal muscles.

There were also numerous blink-and-you-will-miss-it moments that reminded the audience that DNCE at its core, was really about letting loose and having a good time. Cole was at one point running around, hydrating his fellow band members with a swig from a red cup. And Jinjoo was throwing her guitar picks to fans, and cooled the crowd off by dousing them with two bottles of water.

And between their roof-raising catchy party anthems to heartfelt soulful songs, DNCE’s appeal really shone through. In an entertainment industry where rehearsed perfection is the norm, DNCE and their ability to just have a good time was refreshing, infectious, and certainly made for a super fun night.
