If watching BTS live is already on your bucket list, here’s another reason to plan a trip to Singapore this December! The city is all set to turn purple–well, ARIRANG red–as it hosts BTS THE CITY ARIRANG SINGAPORE from December 1 to 31, 2026. And no, this isn’t just about the concerts. Think themed light shows, immersive attractions, art trails, fireworks and BTS-inspired experiences spread across the city!
Singapore Is Getting A Month-Long BTS Takeover With 4 Concerts!
The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) has partnered with HYBE to bring the experience to Southeast Asia for the first time, making Singapore the region’s only stop for the initiative in 2026. The month-long celebration will also coincide with BTS’ much-awaited return to Singapore for four sold-out concerts at the National Stadium on December 17, 19, 20 and 22.
Your BTS-inspired holiday could begin as soon as you land! Jewel Changi Airport will host a themed light and music show at its iconic Rain Vortex, giving fans a spectacular welcome to Singapore.
At Mandai Wildlife Reserve, Exploria, its new immersive multimedia attraction, will get a special BTS-themed takeover, offering fans a whole new way to experience the attraction as part of the celebrations.
For fans who enjoy a little art with their music, National Gallery Singapore will host an art trail pairing BTS music with artworks from Pop after Pop: Art around Us. It’s a chance to explore the city’s art scene with a BTS-inspired twist.
Over at Resorts World Sentosa, Universal Studios Singapore will light up the night with a fireworks display set to BTS music, alongside other themed experiences. Sentosa Island will also join the fun with a BTS-inspired rave, drone show, themed race and immersive installations.
The celebrations will continue at the National Museum of Singapore with themed light and sound installations, while The Kallang will feature interactive zones. Zouk Singapore, meanwhile, will host opening and closing night takeovers with dedicated music and experiential programming.

Singapore’s Iconic Landmarks Will Glow ARIRANG Red
The BTS celebrations won’t be limited to ticketed attractions. From December 8 to 22, several landmarks around Marina Bay and the Singapore River will light up in ARIRANG red every night.
The illuminated landmarks will include the Helix Bridge, Singapore Flyer, Gardens by the Bay, The Fullerton Hotel Singapore, Anderson Bridge and The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore, among others.
So, if you’re travelling for the concerts, consider arriving a few days early to explore the city-wide experiences before the stadium shows begin. And if you don’t have concert tickets, there will still be a month of BTS-themed activities to look forward to, with further details on individual activations expected to be announced.
