A month-long BTS fan programme will run across Singapore from 1 to 31 December, with themed shows at Jewel Changi Airport, Sentosa and Universal Studios Singapore before the group’s four sold-out National Stadium nights. BTS THE CITY ARIRANG SINGAPORE runs from 1 to 31 December.
Singapore is the only Southeast Asian stop for the programme in 2026. It is the final stop of the year. THE CITY is HYBE’s city-wide format, built to run alongside the BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’. It opened in Seoul in March and has since been staged in Las Vegas, Busan, London and New York.
“This is the largest city-wide destination project we have collaborated on with a partner for any recording artist,” said Oliver Chong, STB’s assistant chief executive for its international group.
Where it runs
The partners, and what each is staging:
- Jewel Changi Airport: a themed light and music show at the Rain Vortex.
- Mandai Wildlife Reserve: a landmark-themed takeover of Exploria, the reserve’s immersive multimedia attraction.
- National Gallery Singapore: an art trail pairing BTS songs with works in the exhibition Pop after Pop: Art around Us.
- National Museum of Singapore: themed light and sound installations.
- Resorts World Sentosa: a fireworks display choreographed to BTS music, plus other themed experiences inside Universal Studios Singapore.
- Sentosa Island: a rave and drone show set to BTS music, a themed race and immersive installations.
- The Kallang: interactive experiences across several themed zones.
- Zouk Singapore: opening-night and closing-night takeovers with dedicated music programming.
The city in ARIRANG red
From 8 to 22 December, landmarks around Marina Bay and along the Singapore River will light up in ARIRANG red every night. The list covers Anderson, Cavenagh, Clemenceau, Coleman, Elgin and Ord bridges, as well as The Helix Bridge, Gardens by the Bay, the Singapore Flyer, The Fullerton Hotel Singapore, OUE Bayfront, Millenia Tower and The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore.
BTS play the National Stadium on 17, 19, 20 and 22 December, and all four nights are sold out.
What comes next
The programme builds on a partnership between STB, HYBE and its labels that began in 2024, covering social media content, K-pop events and music videos shot at Singapore landmarks. HYBE said it hopes the Singapore edition will let fans and visitors “celebrate the music of BTS and close out the year together”.
On HYBE’s Weverse platform, the BTS THE CITY ARIRANG SINGAPORE campaign opens at midnight on 1 December, Singapore time.
