Singapore to host month-long BTS programme in December
Four sold-out concerts at the National Stadium will coincide with BTS THE CITY ARIRANG, while HYBE says it has no current plans for an Indonesian edition.
Singapore will host BTS THE CITY ARIRANG from 1 to 31 December 2026, bringing BTS-themed activities to tourism, cultural and entertainment venues. It will be the programme’s first Southeast Asian host and its final stop for 2026.
HYBE is working with the Singapore Tourism Board and attraction operators on the programme, which extends the BTS concert experience beyond the performance venue. Participating locations include Jewel Changi Airport, Mandai Wildlife Reserve, National Gallery Singapore, National Museum of Singapore, Resorts World Sentosa and Zouk Singapore.
Landmarks including Gardens by the Bay, Singapore Flyer, The Helix Bridge and The Fullerton Hotel Singapore will feature red lighting reflecting ARIRANG’s visual identity from 8 to 22 December 2026. Several bridges along the Singapore River will also take part.
The city programme coincides with BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG' performances at Singapore’s National Stadium on 17, 19, 20 and 22 December 2026. Tickets for all four concerts have sold out. Other cities on the programme’s itinerary have included Seoul, Las Vegas, London, Busan and New York.
HYBE told CNBC Indonesia that it currently has no plans to bring BTS THE CITY to Indonesia, saying Singapore will conclude the ARIRANG series. The company declined to explain its host-city selection criteria or process.
