BTS in Singapore: Your ARIRANG December Guide

For one December the whole city dresses up for BTS. Four sold-out nights at the National Stadium, and around them a month of free light-ups, drone shows, pop-ups and parties β€” Singapore is the only Southeast Asian stop, and the longest one yet.

No concert ticket? Most of this is free. Here’s every part of it, with the times from HYBE’s own notice.

BTS play the National Stadium on Thu 17, Sat 19, Sun 20 and Tue 22 December β€” four nights, the most of any city on the Asia leg of the ARIRANG world tour. All four are sold out.

Got a ticket? It also gets you into Zouk’s Countdown Night (16 Dec) and Encore Night (23 Dec), capacity allowing. Take the MRT to Stadium (CC6) β€” the Feel Alive Zone on the Stadium Riverside Walk is open 12pm – 8pm before each show.
