It’s Lazada’s ninth birthday and to celebrate, the e-commerce platform is throwing a Super Party, complete with a virtual concert, a livestream game session and lots of shopping deals.
Headline acts Katy Perry and K-pop group NCT Dream will kick things off on LazLive, Lazada’s in-app livestreaming channel, at 9.30pm on Friday (Mar 26) with a medley of chart-topping hits. Perry is known for her hits such as Roar and Firework while NCT Dream is reportedly working on a new album aimed at an April release.
After their segments, fans will get to watch local artistes Jasmine Sokko and Nathan Hartono, beatboxer Dharni Ng, rapper Fariz Jabba and stand-up comedian Sharul Channa, with 987 DJs Sonia Chew and Joakim Gomez hosting.
The countdown concert is the run-up to Lazada’s Surprise Birthday Sale, which will take place at midnight on Mar 27.
That’s not the only music-themed event to take place, though. From now until May 1, you can also catch a roster of K-pop bands making virtual appearances on LazLive every Saturday at 8pm. AB6IX is up on Mar 27, Weeekly on Apr 3 and Loona on Apr 10.
These events mark an ongoing series of content-commerce collaboration between Lazada and Mediacorp.
And what’s a sale event without good deals? Lazada shoppers can expect discounts of up to 90 per cent across more than 200 stores from 12am-2am on Mar 27, with flash vouchers popping up during that time.
And from now till Mar 26, shoppers can put down 10 cents or S$1 for a chance to win the goodie of the day, which includes a Samsung A7 tablet and a home karaoke set.
