Rosa Gulliver of TINYGMUSIC | November 11, 2026
Month-long program spans Singapore’s landmarks,
attractions, nightlife and more
BTS announced details for ‘BTS THE CITY ARIRANG SINGAPORE,’ (hereafter ‘THE CITY SINGAPORE’) set to take place across Singapore from December 1 to 31.
Running throughout December alongside BTS’ four sold-out shows at the National Stadium as part of the ‘BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG,’’ ‘THE CITY SINGAPORE’ will extend the concert experience across the island through an expanded program spanning cultural landmarks, attractions, nightlife, dining, shopping, mobility and more.
In collaboration with the Singapore Tourism Board (STB), the project will present a range of experiences across some of Singapore’s most iconic landmarks, including a takeover of Exploria at the Mandai Wildlife Reserve, a three-night drone show and a party on Sentosa Island, and the official BTS THE CITY ARIRANG Fan Village at Resorts World Sentosa, featuring interactive challenges and immersive PLAY, TASTE and BEAUTY zones. Fans can also experience BTS THE CITY ARIRANG Night Out at Universal Studios Singapore, an after-dark party combining music, selected rides, fan games, live entertainment and a themed fireworks finale, alongside light and music experiences across the city. By expanding into theme parks and indoor attractions, venues never-been featured in ‘THE CITY’ projects, ‘THE CITY SINGAPORE’ is set to deliver an even more diverse and immersive range of experiences.
The island-wide activation marks the first and only Southeast Asian stop of 'BTS THE CITY ARIRANG' in 2026, with programming extending from major cultural and tourism destinations to transportation, hotels, restaurants and retail across Singapore. From December 8 to 22, landmarks around Marina Bay, bridges along the Singapore River and the Merlion will illuminate in ‘Ari Red,’ visually connecting destinations across the city. The expanded light-up lineup will also include the Asian Civilisations Museum and Peranakan Museum.
Across 10 major venue and destination partners, Gardens by the Bay, Jewel Changi Airport, Mandai Wildlife Reserve, National Gallery Singapore, National Museum of Singapore, New Bahru, Resorts World Sentosa, Sentosa Development Corporation, The Kallang, and Zouk Singapore, the project will extend the world of ‘ARIRANG’ into experiences across the city throughout December.
Mr Oliver Chong, Assistant Chief Executive, International Group, STB, said, “We are excited to bring a rich line-up of immersive experiences and activities to 'BTS THE CITY ARIRANG SINGAPORE'. The diverse range of activations across the city reflects our collective commitment to creating memorable experiences for both local and visiting BTS fans and tourists, and we invite fans and tourists from around the world to come experience Singapore's vibrancy this year-end.”
