BIGBANG play the National Stadium on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 October, their first Singapore shows as a group in nine years, with doors at 5pm and the concert at 7pm both nights.
The XX: COSMOS world tour marks the group’s 20th anniversary, with G-DRAGON, TAEYANG and DAESUNG on a 35-show stadium run. AEG Presents Asia promotes the Singapore leg with YG Entertainment. Singapore comes straight after the Taipei Dome, with Hanoi and Bangkok next.

The price list is the same for both nights:
- BIGBANG VIP Ultimate (standing): S$498

A booking fee of S$6 a ticket applies on top of anything priced S$50 and above. VIP Ultimate holders get priority entry to the venue.
Cat 7 costs the same as Cat 3 but sits in sections 101 to 103 and 148 to 150, inside the West Zone, which is exposed to the weather. Delay towers on the floor may block some sightlines elsewhere in the bowl.
AEG Presents Asia released additional seats on 6 October. Ticketmaster.sg and the hotline on +65 6018 7645 are the only official sales channels, with a limit of four tickets per transaction. Resold tickets will not be honoured at the venue, and holders will be turned away at the gate.
Bags, cameras and children
Bags larger than 35cm by 20cm by 30cm are not allowed in. Oversized items can go to the deposit counter for S$10 per item, non-refundable, paid by Visa, Mastercard or PayNow only. Cash, Amex and NETS are not accepted there.
Outside food and drink are barred. Empty water bottles that are not glass are allowed, and food and drinks are sold inside. Fan boards cannot be bigger than A3, or 29.7cm by 42cm.
The banned list also covers non-collapsible umbrellas, chairs, gifts, flowers, tablets, laptops, selfie sticks, gimbals and tripods. Professional, polaroid and film cameras, GoPros and vapes mean refused entry. Live streaming is prohibited.
Children under three are not admitted, and everyone aged three and above needs a ticket. Under-12s and anyone shorter than 1.2m cannot enter the standing pens, whatever ticket they hold.
Where the official merch is sold
Super Rare at 313@somerset, #04-30/31, runs an official pop-up until Sunday 18 October. A second pop-up at Kallang Wave Mall Level 1 stays open until 25 October, from 10am to 10pm, extended to 11pm on 17 and 18 October.
On the concert days, merch sells at three venue points: the National Stadium itself, OCBC Square on Stadium Walk, and Kallang Wave Mall at #01-14.
Getting there and getting home
Stadium MRT on the Circle Line is the only station with direct access. Exit A leads to Gates 1 to 5 and 18 to 23, and Exit B to the rest; both run up escalators to the Level 3 promenade, where gate signs take over.
Three other stations are within walking distance. Tanjong Rhu on the Thomson-East Coast Line is 12 minutes or 750m away from Exit 2. Mountbatten on the Circle Line and Kallang on the East-West Line are each 15 minutes or 900m away from Exit A. Traffic and station crowds run heavier than usual on event days.
Buses 10, 14, 16, 70 and 196 stop on Nicoll Highway outside the stadium (stop 80219) and opposite it (80211), both closer to Gates 8 to 19.
For rides home, Grab pick-up Point A is nearest Gates 8 to 23 and Point B is nearest Gates 1 to 7; both appear in the Grab app under “The Kallang”, with bays A1 to A6 and B1 to B5. Taxi stands sit at Stadium Crescent (I28), Stadium Boulevard by OCBC Arena (I29) and Stadium Place by Kallang Wave Mall (I30).
The Kallang also runs a haze management policy that can change how events and outdoor activities operate when air quality worsens.
