Following triumphant runs across major global hubs including Seoul, Las Vegas, Busan, London, and New York, entertainment powerhouse HYBE is expanding its ambitious city-wide project to Southeast Asia for the very first time. This winter, Singapore will transform into a vibrant hub for the global supergroup as part of the worldwide tour.

A Month-Long Celebration Across Singapore

Scheduled from December 1 through December 31, BTS The City ARIRANG - Singapore officially becomes the most extended iteration of The City initiative to date, delivering continuous fan-centric attractions throughout the entire month. The broader Southeast Asian leg of the BTS World Tour: ARIRANG kicks off in Bangkok with three performances on December 3, 5, and 6, moves to Kuala Lumpur for a two-night stint on December 12 and 13, heads to Singapore for four major shows on December 17, 19, 20, and 22, and concludes in Jakarta with three final concerts on December 26, 27, and 29.

Unprecedented Collaborations and City-Wide Activations

Designed as an immersive, city-wide extension of the concert tour, the project relies on a strategic partnership with the Singapore Tourism Board. Key local collaborators include:

  • Jewel Changi Airport
  • Mandai Wildlife Reserve
  • National Gallery Singapore
  • National Museum of Singapore
  • Resorts World Sentosa
  • Sentosa Development Corporation
  • The Kallang
  • Zouk Singapore

Together, these entities deliver a diverse portfolio of activations that immerse visitors completely in the distinct global phenomenon.

We are delighted to bring 'BTS THE CITY ARIRANG' to Singapore for its first-ever Southeast Asian edition, marking the final stop of the project in 2026. With the support of the Singapore Tourism Board, we look forward to extending the excitement of BTS’ concerts beyond the stadium and bringing fans and visitors together through unique experiences across the city.

We look forward to welcoming BTS fans from across the world to Singapore this December.

Economic Impact and Finale

Ever since its initial rollout in Seoul earlier this year, the ARIRANG city-wide project has consistently driven notable economic growth for host cities. For instance, the Las Vegas edition generated an estimated $340 million in economic activity, while London enjoyed both substantial cultural influence and monetary gains. The upcoming Singapore activation will serve as the official grand finale for all The City programming slated for 2026.

BTS The City ARIRANG - Singapore officially runs from December 1 to December 31.
