Timbre Group is marking two decades of soulful sounds, culinary innovation, and deep community roots with a milestone 20th anniversary celebration. From a modest live music bar at The Substation in 2005 to a trailblazer in placemaking and homegrown entertainment, Timbre’s journey has become a defining part of Singapore’s lifestyle scene.
The Celebration Kicks Off 31 July at Timbre+ One North
The festivities begin with a bang on 31 July at Timbre+ One North, where fans can look forward to a star-studded line-up of live tribute performances, including the long-anticipated reunion of original house band Jack & Rai ft. EIC. Alongside music, guests can expect venue upgrades like enhanced ventilation for better comfort, exclusive anniversary promotions, and a sneak peek at Timbre’s next big moves.
Two New Concepts Join the Timbre Family
To mark the occasion, Timbre Group is launching two exciting new venues:
- Timbre+ Hillview (Now Open): Nestled in the historic CMPB site, this new 750-seat food collective features 27 food stalls and a resident live music line-up kicking off from 4 August, with local favourites like Luke & Shan, The Music Affair, and Uber Duber gracing the stage.
- Timbre Signatures Café @ Siglap (Opening Early August): A community-first café created in collaboration with New Hope Community Services, this thoughtful space champions social causes and features a menu curated by Chef Triston Fang, Singapore’s celebrated culinary Olympian.
In true Timbre style, the anniversary will be celebrated across all venues with irresistible F&B deals:
- 60-cent kopi/teh at Yishun Park Hawker Centre (1–15 August)
- 2-for-$20 Tiger Crystal Draught Beers at Timbre+ One North
- $6 half pints at Timbre+ Hillview
- 4 dim sum for $4 at One Punggol Hawker Centre
Fans can also relive nostalgic moments with performances from Bushmen, Peep Show, The Day Trippers, and Malaysian singer-songwriter Awi Rafael, alongside a retrospective video series chronicling 20 years of Timbre’s impact on Singapore’s live music scene.

More Than Music: A Legacy of Social Impact
Beyond the celebrations, Timbre continues its mission of community building through creative and compassionate initiatives. From youth mentorship programmes and Respect SG, which provides students with real-world F&B training, to collaborations that uplift at-risk communities, the Group’s social impact remains at its core.
Its efforts were recently recognised with the Champion for Good Award and praise from social enterprise Fyreflyz for its work in youth empowerment.
A highlight of Timbre’s 2025 CSR focus is the “Gift A Guitar” Campaign, a pay-it-forward movement that provides instruments and music education to underserved youth. The initiative made headlines earlier this year when Prime Minister Lawrence Wong auctioned his personal Paul Reed Smith guitar, raising funds to support 600 aspiring young musicians.
