December will see Southeast Asia’s first and only ‘BTS THE CITY ARIRANG’ in Singapore.
From December 1 to December 31, 2026, Singapore will host BTS THE CITY ARIRANG, a month-long celebration of BTS-themed attractions, interactive experiences, light shows, and entertainment throughout the city. In 2026, the event coincides with BTS’s four performances at the National Stadium, marking the project’s first and only Southeast Asian version.
As the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) collaborates with HYBE to exhibit BTS THE CITY ARIRANG SINGAPORE 2026, Singapore is getting ready to welcome BTS fans from all over the world. The citywide initiative will turn popular tourist and leisure locations into themed fan experiences, bringing the thrill of BTS’ WORLD TOUR “ARIRANG” outside of the performance space.
BTS will perform at Singapore’s National Stadium on December 17, 19, 20, and 22 as part of the December program. Singapore will be the project’s fifth and last overseas location in 2026, after activations in Seoul, Las Vegas, Busan, London, and New York.
BTS Experiences Across the Island
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 are the eight tourism, entertainment, and lifestyle partners that will take part in the project.
Mandai Wildlife Reserve will launch a themed takeover of its immersive multimedia attraction, Exploria, while Jewel Changi Airport will host a BTS-themed light and music event at the Rain Vortex.
Pop after Pop: Art around Us and BTS songs will be combined in an art trail at National Gallery Singapore. Themed light and music installations will be on display at the National Museum of Singapore.
A fireworks show synchronised to BTS music will take place at Universal Studios Singapore’s Resorts World Sentosa. Sentosa Island will feature immersive installations, a race, a drone display, and a themed rave. Zouk Singapore will host opening and closing nite celebrations with music and entertainment, while the Kallang Group will introduce interactive themed zones.
Landmarks in Singapore Will Glow ARIRANG Red
Several sites along Marina Bay and the Singapore River will be lighted in ARIRANG red every evening from December 8 to December 22. Gardens by the Bay, Singapore Flier, The Helix Bridge, The Fullerton Hotel Singapore, The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore, Millenia Tower, and OUE Bayfront are among the participating locations, along with six bridges.
Boosting Tourism for Entertainment
According to STB, the partnership strengthens Singapore’s standing as a top location for top-notch entertainment. HYBE emphasised the chance to unite followers through distinctive experiences outside of stadium performances.
In due course, more information regarding program arrangements and individual activations will be made public.
