Singapore’s December programme adds fan events, landmark illuminations and four BTS concerts.
The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) and HYBE announced on 10 November 2026 a month-long programme for BTS THE CITY ARIRANG SINGAPORE, featuring music-related attractions, fan events and public installations from 1 to 31 December. The programme involves 10 venue partners and extends the group’s ARIRANG album and world tour activities beyond the four concerts scheduled at Singapore’s National Stadium on 17, 19, 20 and 22 December. STB describes Singapore as the first and only Southeast Asian stop for the project in 2026.
The city’s evening skyline will become part of the programme. From 8 to 22 December, Marina Bay landmarks, bridges along the Singapore River and the Merlion will be illuminated in Ari Red between 7 pm and 1 am. Gardens by the Bay will join the display from 11 pm each night, alongside its separate Supertrees Light & Music Experience, scheduled for 12 to 22 December.
The programme also reaches visitors arriving at Singapore’s airport and those exploring its cultural and leisure attractions. At Jewel Changi Airport, the Rain Vortex will host a light and music showcase from 1 to 26 December. Mandai Wildlife Reserve will stage an ARIRANG takeover at Exploria, with themed dining and photo opportunities. At National Gallery Singapore, the Pop after Pop art trail runs from 11 to 31 December, while the National Museum of Singapore will feature a dance mirror throughout the month and a façade light-up from 16 to 23 December.
Elsewhere, New Bahru will host its BTS-themed takeover from 16 to 23 December. The Kallang has scheduled an interactive zone from 9 to 22 December, alongside a multimedia display and National Stadium roof light-up from 8 to 22 December, subject to date exclusions. Zouk Singapore will hold a flash mob and dance film on 9 December, followed by dance parties on 16 and 23 December.
Sentosa has a particularly concentrated line-up. Resorts World Sentosa will host the BTS Fan Village from 16 to 22 December, while Universal Studios Singapore stages Lightscape from 4 December to 3 January 2027 and fireworks on selected nights. On Palawan Beach, the Rave and Drone Party runs from 18 to 20 December, featuring a 1,500-drone display choreographed to BTS music. A separate Sentosa Run is scheduled for 12 December.
Visa is the programme’s official partner, with cardholder benefits including discounts on selected National Gallery and Sentosa activities, as well as a S$5 OWA Bistro voucher with an eligible Exploria package purchase. Mr Oliver Chong, Assistant Chief Executive of the International Group at the Singapore Tourism Board, said: “We warmly invite fans and visitors from around the world to visit Singapore this year-end to experience for themselves the diverse range of activations that we will have across the city.”
Ms Adeline Kim, Visa’s Group Country Manager for Regional Southeast Asia and Senior Vice-President for Global Clients in Asia Pacific, said: “For a new generation of consumers, music is a powerful reason to connect, travel and discover.”
