BTS Names Singapore the Final Stop of 'The City' Project, With Four December Stadium Shows

On Oct. 19, 2026, BTS's label Big Hit Music announced that Singapore will be the last destination this year for the group's "The City" project, a citywide initiative that extends the group's presence beyond the concert venue. Singapore will be the only host of the project in Southeast Asia. [1]

Stadium shows and a month of city events

BTS has four shows planned at Singapore's National Stadium in December, starting on Dec. 17. Fans in the city are not limited to those dates, though. Major institutions and landmarks are taking part, so the project runs through the whole month. Multimedia attractions will appear in places ranging from an airport to the national museum and a wildlife reserve. BTS music will play along a trail at the national gallery, and theme parks will hold fireworks choreographed to the group's songs. [1]

Where the tour stands

The Singapore plans come while the "Arirang" world tour is still under way. The group opened its South American leg in Bogota and is working through a 14-show run across five cities that ends Oct. 31. After that, the tour is set to resume on Nov. 19 in Kaohsiung. [2][3][1]

Why a citywide format matters

The recent stops show how large a BTS visit can become. In Lima, the group's three shows drew roughly 151,500 fans, far beyond the 50,000 visitors Peru's tourism ministry had projected. Singapore's plan, which spreads BTS-themed attractions across landmarks and public venues for a month, applies the same pattern of a city treating the group's visit as an event. Details on tickets and individual attractions have not been included in the announcement. [4][1]
