SINGAPORE – K-pop boy band BTS will be back in Singapore after seven years for concerts on Dec 17, 19, 20 and 22, the most number of shows they have done here to date.
The venue has yet to be announced.
The upcoming Singapore concerts are part of the supergroup’s first proper tour since 2019.
The BTS World Tour will kick off in Goyang, South Korea, on April 9, followed by two more nights on April 11 and 12, before heading to Tokyo on April 17. The initial announcement was by the band’s label Big Hit Music on X as well as global fan community platform Weverse.
According to previous reports, the global jaunt is their biggest tour ever, with shows across Asia, North America, South America, Europe and Australia.
The tour also includes shows in other South-east Asian cities – Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta and Manila.
According to the ticketing details for the South Korean shows posted on Weverse, the concert will be held on a 360-degree stage which will offer the audience clear views from any angle.
The Singapore Tourism Board’s director of leisure events Ms Guo Teyi said in a release that the concert extends its partnership with Big Hit Music’s parent company Hybe.
“We’re pleased to host the BTS World Tour for four nights in Singapore in partnership with (online travel platform) Klook – the longest run in Asia outside of Korea and Japan. This milestone reflects the strong collaborative partnership with Hybe and its label and is a testament to the growing confidence international artists and producers have in Singapore’s ability to deliver unforgettable, world-class live entertainment.”
Comprising Jin, 33; Suga, 32; J-Hope, 31; RM, 31; Jimin, 30; V, 30; and Jungkook, 28, BTS’s last performance in Singapore was a one-night show at the National Stadium in January 2019.
Their first concert here took place at The Star Theatre in 2014.
They also performed in Singapore in 2017 as part of a live show by the South Korean pop music variety show Music Bank at Suntec’s convention centre.
They went on a temporary hiatus in June 2022 when all the members had to serve their mandatory military service. BTS regrouped in June 2025.
Despite the hiatus, the septet remain one of the most popular K-pop acts worldwide. In Spotify’s 2025 year-end report, the group were the most-streamed K-pop artiste on the music platform.
The members have also found success as solo acts. Jungkook, for example, is No. 8 in Spotify’s Global K-pop Artist Streaming category in the same year, the only male solo artiste in the top 10.
They have also done solo concerts and projects in Singapore.
