The best concerts and tours coming to Asia in 2025

It’s the King of K-pop himself. After dropping his first full-length album in 12 years this February, G-Dragon announced a long-anticipated world tour – and it’s stopping in eight cities in Asia. Besides his home country Korea, the Bigbang leader will also tour Tokyo, Bulacan, Osaka, Macau, Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, and Hong Kong. Get ready to wave your lightsticks to songs from his record-breaking Übermensch album – we’re talking hits like “Drama” and “Home Sweet Home”.

There’s an “Earfquake” coming, and it’s Tyler, the Creator’s Chromakopia world tour. The American rapper will be performing in four lucky cities on his Asia leg: Tokyo (Sep 9), Seoul (Sep 13), Bangkok (Sep 16), and Manila (Sep 20). We say lucky, because his last two world tours skipped over Asia. Tickets for Chromakopia’s Seoul, Bangkok and Manila shows went on sale on March 5 – Tokyo’s on-sale begins March 20. Find out how to score those tickets here. 

"We lost dancing" goes the refrain in Fred Again's "Marea (we've lost dancing)" track. But he's bringing the moves to dancefloors in Asia this July when he embarks on his first-ever tour in the region. The English songwriter, DJ, and record producer – known for innovative dance tracks blending audio clips from his phone, YouTube, and social media – will tour Singapore, Bangkok, and Seoul, before firing up a set Fuji Rock Festival on July 25. Pre-sale tickets sold out in just 3 minutes – try your luck with the general sale; details here. 

Mother Monster is coming to Asia – but to one city only. Global superstar Lady Gaga will be playing four precious nights in Singapore this May, in a move that’s caused, well, mayhem across the region. Her tour, called Mayhem after her latest album, will fire up the Lion City’s National Stadium on May 18, 19, 21, and 24. Fingers crossed that she’ll pull a Taylor Swift and announce more dates because we’re sure millions of fans across Asia are dying for a seat. Pre-sales are ongoing – check out our guide to concert prices and seating plans.

We just can’t help saying it, but Blackpink in your area! The mega K-pop girl group are taking time out of their busy (individual) careers for a long-awaited world tour. Jennie, Lisa, Rose, and Lisa will be playing five massive shows in Asia, specifically Seoul and Tokyo, with more dates to come (perhaps some in Southeast Asia?). While we wait for the news, here’s all we know so far about Blackpink’s 2025 world tour. 

Girls' Generation's leader returns to the solo stage with a highly-anticipated Asia tour in 2025. Taeyeon, regarded as one of the most skilled vocalists in K-pop, kicked things off with a three-day sold-out show at Korea's KSPO Dome this March. She most recently performed in Taipei and will soon head to the Philippines, Indonesia, Japan, China, Singapore, Thailand, and Hong Kong. Initial reviews have been nothing but good, praising Taeyeon's intricate sets, commanding stage presence, and (of course) her incredible gem of a voice. Be prepared for an emotional rollercoaster of a concert, with Taeyeon going through angelic tracks like "Heaven", fierce bangers like "Cold as Hell", and playful songs like "Why". 

BTS member J-Hope’s Hope on the Stage world tour is currently on its North American leg, and it has received absolutely glowing reviews. Divided into five parts – Ambition, Dream, Expectations, Fantasy, Wish/Encore – his first solo tour has been described by NME as “coursing with creativity and ambition”. We wouldn’t expect any less from the highly-talented dancer and rapper, who cut his teeth in Korea’s underground dance scene before making it big in BTS. The tour’s Asia leg begins on April 12 in Pasay, the Philippines, before travelling to Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, Taiwan, and Japan. Find out more here. 

'Take A Bite' of Filipino-British singer-songwriter beabadoobee when she swings by the continent on her headlining tour this August. The indie darling announced plans to perform in Singapore, Taipei, and Manila on August 4, 9, and 12, respectively, bringing music from her third studio album, This Is How Tomorrow Moves, to fans in the region. It'll be her first time back in Asia since her Beatopia Tour 2022, so you definitely won't want to miss out.

See Sting, seventeen-time Grammy Award winner and former frontman of world-renowned rock band The Police, like never before: stripped back, turned up, and completely in his element. The legendary musician is bringing his Sting 3.0 World tour to Japan, Singapore, Bangkok, and Taiwan this September, presenting a novel intimate trio format with guitarist Dominic Miller and drummer Chris Maas. You'll get classics like 'Englishman in New York', hits from his time with The Police, such as 'Every Breath You Take', 'Roxanne', and 'Message in a Bottle', as well as fresh releases like his latest single 'I Wrote Your Name (Upon My Heart)'.
