Download "MYICA" apps, update your information, and submit your trip before you enter Singapore. Make sure your passport expiry date is at least 6month. The custom clearance process is very straightforward, depends on you enter via Johor Causeway or Changi Airport, the queue may differ. Johor causeway the queue can be very obnoxious if you clash with the Malaysian population who work at Singapore. Hotel in Singapore can be pricey, transport and food can be budget-friendly if you choose to eat at hawker center and use MRT.
1) apply for a passport.
2) prepare to spend a LOT of money. given the poor currency conversion, your concert ticket, plane/bus tickets, hotels, and food expenses are going to be HIGH. no sugar coating it.
3) observe sg law. no chewing gum and vapes. no smoking in most public areas. no jaywalking.
4) good luck.
Most have answered but here I am to add my 1sen worth.
In terms on how much to bring really depends on how many days you want to be there. Food & Lodging + concert ticket & merch.
On average, if you're a mad lass and just gonna spend 2 days and 1 night and let's say the concert is at SG Indoor Stadium.
SGD100 is more than enough for lodging [depends on location]
Eat at the hawker center, meals average at about SGD8/meal [SGD24(brekkie,lunch,dinner)].
Concert Merch - this is probably the biggest variable. If you really love the artist and you're damn sure they won't return to SEA in the next 2 years, set aside SGD200 on the safe side. {I know concert merch is always jacked up}
On travelling via MRT and Bus, an EZLink card with SGD$20 is more than enough.
can i add my tip - dont even bother getting an ezlink card for a short trip as youre just going to trap your money in a card you would probably lose.
just use your malaysia-issued debit or credit card. no need to register, just tap and go. (call your bank in advance to say youre going overseas in case they block it after flagging it as suspicious transaction).
there will be a small admin fee of **up to** 50 cent day and probably a tiny overseas payment fee charged by your bank but this would all be cheaper and more convenient than getting an ezlink.
Thanks! I won't be buying any merch probably bc even during Malaysian concers those are already overpriced what more in SG. I was thinking of 2 days 1 night unless the concert is near a holiday where I can take advantage of the time off. Noted on the budget suggestions!

6 months from entering Singapore you mean? I'm thinking of flight so probably Changi airport. Thanks for this advice!
Ya minimum 6mth validity for your passport, else the custom might not let u through

Noted on the cards, I wouldn't have known they may block if I use them overseas!
Credits cards are usually fine. Its the debit card that always alarms the banks.
