New Entertainment and Nightlife Magazine launches in Singapore

A new arts, entertainment and nightlife magazine has been launched Singapore. Time Out Singapore, published by Ink Publishing and Time Out International released its first issue to newsstands on 28 February, 2007.

The monthly magazine is available at newsagents throughout the city, as well as in selected hotels, entertainment venues and tourist offices. The cover price is Sin$3.95 with an expected monthly readership of 120,000.

Time Out Singapore, like its sister magazines in 17 other cities around the world, will feature reviews of films, music, books, performances, restaurants, bars, shops and clubs.

Tony Elliott, founder and chairman of the Time Out Group said, “It’s fantastic to welcome Time Out Singapore to our family of magazines. The local team have really risen to the challenge of getting under the skin of Singapore, a city known as a fabulous stop-off which merits greater attention as a world-class destination for lovers of art, culture, food, nightlife, and of course, shopping. Residents of the Lion City will benefit from the magazine’s unique approach to uncovering the city’s lesser known attractions and our team’s expert views on the city’s mainstream and alternative offerings.”

Billie Cohen, editor of Time Out Singapore, added, "Time Out has arrived at the perfect time: there is a real buzz in the city with exciting things happening all over Singapore. Every day, I am thrilled to be discovering how vibrant and thriving the creative community is here – and Time Out will be a part of that development. Already in our first issue, we found night owls who go prawn fishing at 2am, local bands that can hold their own against international headliners, a reclusive nightclub owner who came out of hiding to offer his take on the after-dark scene, chefs who are bringing traditional Chinese medicine into the modern age, and film buffs championing art-house cinema ......... and the latest aquatic sports trend: underwater hockey.”

The next issue will be at newsstands in Singapore on Friday, 30 March.
