DRUM TAO returns to Singapore in June with a short Esplanade Theatre run. The official Singapore 2026 page lists performances on 12 June at 8pm, 13 June at 3pm and 8pm, and 14 June at 3pm.
The draw is the group’s high-impact mix of Japanese taiko drums, athletic choreography and stage design. If you want a live show that works across languages and does not require deep background knowledge, this is one of the cleaner June picks.
Showtimes And Ticketing
The run is compact, so the weekend shows are likely to be the practical options for families and groups. The Friday 8pm slot works better for adults, office groups and visitors already in the city centre after work.
DRUM TAO directs Singapore ticketing through SISTIC, with Esplanade Theatre as the venue. The group states it has played to more than 10 million spectators worldwide, which gives first-time audiences a sense of scale before buying tickets.
- 12 June 2026: 8pm.
- 13 June 2026: 3pm and 8pm.
- 14 June 2026: 3pm.
- Venue: Esplanade Theatre.
Who Should Go
This is a strong option for families with older children, percussion fans and visitors who enjoy dance-theatre energy. The sound level and intensity may be less suitable for toddlers or anyone sensitive to loud drums, so choose seats and timing with that in mind.
