Singapore Tourism Board (STB) has partnered with HYBE to bring ‘BTS THE CITY ARIRANG’ to Singapore from 1 to 31 December 2026, marking Singapore as the first and only Southeast Asian stop in 2026. The largest island-wide fan activation ever held for any recording artist in Singapore, ‘BTS THE CITY ARIRANG SINGAPORE’ will build up to BTS' highly anticipated return to Singapore for their sold-out, four-night concert run at the National Stadium on 17, 19, 20, and 22 December.
‘BTS THE CITY ARIRANG’ is HYBE's city-wide experience model that transforms the host city into an immersive ‘BTS THE CITY' experience across multiple precincts. Designed to run alongside the BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’, it extends the concert experience for fans by creating a multi-touchpoint journey through large-scale themed events and branded installations. First held in Seoul in March 2026, ‘BTS THE CITY ARIRANG’ has since been staged in just four other cities – Las Vegas, Busan, London, and New York.
Through partnerships with some of Singapore's most iconic tourism and lifestyle destinations, Singapore will for the first time, roll out the largest coordinated, island-wide experience to transform Singapore into the ultimate playground for BTS fans from around the world. Partners include Jewel Changi Airport, Mandai Wildlife Reserve, National Gallery Singapore, National Museum of Singapore, Resorts World Sentosa, Sentosa Development Corporation, The Kallang Group, and Zouk Singapore – each presenting diverse and varied activations to give fans the ultimate ‘BTS THE CITY’ experience.
As part of the festivities, landmarks in Marina Bay and along the Singapore River will also be lighting up each night in ARIRANG red from 8 to 22 December 2026, including Anderson Bridge; Cavenagh Bridge; Clemenceau Bridge; Coleman Bridge; Elgin Bridge; Gardens by the Bay; Millenia Tower; Ord Bridge; OUE Bayfront; Singapore Flyer; The Fullerton Hotel Singapore; The Helix Bridge; and The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore.
