For Real Fest 2026 – Louder at IMBA

We’re running For Real Fest back. You wanted an encore. We’re giving you the full show.

We’re bringing it back to IMBA, louder and bigger than before. For three days, For Real Co. is pulling up with more partners and more communities to turn the space into one massive playground where everyone can connect and play their own way.

Think wilder experiences, real convos over coffee and play that actually connects generations. It’s all coming together at IMBA, with more waiting to be unboxed.

Every day hits different. Pull up with your people, find your beat and see where it takes you.

And the best part? For Real Fest — Louder at IMBA is completely free.

Our Biggest Ideas Playground Our Ideas Playground just got its biggest glow-up yet. The ideas we’ve been cooking up with our partners are ready to be unboxed, with every entrance hiding a surprise reveal.

Will you go wilder with Mandai Wildlife Group? Get into real convos with Starbucks? Or unlock a whole new way to play across generations with NTUC Health Active Ageing Centres?

Three entrances, each bringing a completely different energy. Where you start your play is your call. What’s waiting on the other side? No spoilers, but you’ll want in.

Pick what pulls you in, step through and see what unfolds. Trust the process and let curiosity take over, because each experience hits different and stopping at one was never really the plan. So do it for the plot and explore them all with your people.

No fixed route. No wrong first move. Come try them out, drop your hot takes and help shape what comes next.

Louder Beats, Unfiltered Whatever’s on your playlist, Unfiltered Presents understood the assignment. Expect DJ parties, live bands and a fresh vibe every single day, from retro throwbacks and Asian classics to Top 40 hits and K-Pop bangers. Find your beat, turn it up with your people and connect across sounds and generations. Who knows? One generation’s throwback might just be your new obsession.

20 Nov: Flashback Friday

• Live bands and throwbacks from the ’70s to the early 2000s. Bring your people and settle the only debate that matters: which era had the best music?

21 Nov: Throwbacks to K-Pop

• Classics first. K-pop next. From Gen 1 favourites to what’s on repeat now, hear how every era shapes the next.

22 Nov: Made in Asia

• Asian pop across the decades, bringing different generations into the mix. Three days of turning it up – then we go out with a big bang.

Chill or Go All Out. Your Call. Some connections start when you slow down. At after hours, slow house, settle in for board games, laid-back hangs and real convos that go beyond small talk. Then switch it up – round up your people and serve face at our fit-check-worthy photo spots. From low-key hangs to full-on moments, play it your way.

Ngl, it’s all about showing up — physically, emotionally, and for each other. Because we believe Better Relationships = Better Lives. You in?
