Mediacorp's new reality show Battle Of The Buskers has contestants performing live at public places

Busking has been more appreciated in recent years, with many Singaporeans gathering at various locations to enjoy performances by buskers. To showcase the stellar talent in the busking scene, Mediacorp's Battle Of The Buskers will have 16 street performers, ranging from the ages of 10 to 64, battling each week – with the winner earning a S$10,000 cash prize.

Across four Sundays from Jul 23, the 16 acts will split into groups to battle each other in public spaces as they try to secure a spot in the top 10 who will then compete in the subsequent quarterfinal rounds.

To make the experience more interactive, results will be fully determined by public voting at these two stages. The top 10 contestants will then face professional judging as they tackle thrilling themed challenges.
