The best concerts and music festivals in Singapore in 2026

When January 24, 2026
Where Fort Canning Green

The Lumineers are coming back to set hearts – and probably your vocal cords – on fire. The Grammy-nominated folk-rock darlings behind ‘Ho Hey’, ‘Cleopatra’ and ‘Stubborn Love’ are bringing their Automatic World Tour to Fort Canning Green on January 24, 2026, and it’s bound to be a sing-along under the stars. Expect foot-stomping anthems, stripped-down storytelling, and maybe a few new gems from their upcoming album Automatic. With their knack for turning raw emotion into stadium-sized moments, this is one concert that promises all the feels. 

When January 15
Where Capitol Theatre

Hot off the launch of their new album The Clearing – which was recently nominated for the 2025 Mercury Prize – four-piece British alt-rock band Wolf Alice is set to return for the quartet’s first show since Laneway Festival in 2018. That’s a whole eight years that fans have been waiting for their return, and the band has added plenty of achievements under their belt since then. Get ready to sing along with frontwoman Ellie Rowsell to hits like 'Don't Delete the Kisses,' 'Bros,' and the latest 'Just Two Girls.'

When January 24, 2026
Where The Star Theatre

If your teenage years were soundtracked by MySpace playlists, tear-streaked lyrics and earnest acoustic strums, this one’s for you. Secondhand Serenade is celebrating 20 years of feels with a one-night-only Singapore show on January 24 at The Star Theatre. Fronted by John Vesely, the acoustic-rock project that gave us 'Vulnerable', 'Your Call' and the forever-anthem 'Fall for You' is here to reopen emotional floodgates – but in a good, cathartic way. Expect stripped-back arrangements, big singalong moments and a nostalgic trip through two decades of heartbreak, hope and healing. It's also your chance to bring back that old emo fringe.

When January 26, 2026
Where The Star Theatre

Men I Trust aren’t just coming back – they’re gliding in on the kind of dream-pop wave you’ve had on repeat for years. The Canadian indie trio have built a cult following with tracks like 'Show Me How' and 'Numb', and their live shows are just as mesmerising. Fans in Singapore still gush about their luminous 2023 set, where the band’s hypnotic melodies and lush soundscapes felt both intimate and transcendent. Now they’re back with not one but two new albums, Equus Asinus and Equus Caballus. You’re in for a show that’s as gentle as it is stirring. 

When February 3, 2026
Where Arena @ Expo

If you survived the golden age of boyband mania, this one’s calling your name. Westlife returns to Singapore with A Gala Evening, a one-night-only orchestral spectacular on February 3 at the Arena @ Expo. The Irish icons are giving their greatest pop hits a grown-up glow-up, with 'Flying Without Wings', 'You Raise Me Up ’, 'Uptown Girl' and more elevated by the sweeping sounds of the Metropolitan Festival Orchestra. It’s glossy, grand and sentimental, channelling peak pop-era magic with a black-tie twist. It's also a reminder of why Westlife ruled the charts – and our hearts – when boybands reigned supreme. Warm up your vocals because those infectious chart-toppers will have you singing to every lyric.

When February 3, 2026
Where The Star Theatre

Progressive metal heavyweights Dream Theater are storming back to Singapore and they’re bringing 40 years of head-banging musicianship with them. Riding high on the success of their 40th Anniversary World Tour and latest album Parasomnia, the Grammy Award-winning band returns with a career-spanning set packed with virtuosic solos, shifting time signatures and high intensity. It also marks the first Southeast Asia reunion of the band’s classic lineup since Mike Portnoy’s return, with James LaBrie, John Petrucci, John Myung and Jordan Rudess all on deck. For longtime fans and prog converts alike, this is a masterclass in metal history – loud, intricate and gloriously uncompromising.

When February 5, 2026
Where Esplanade Annexe Studio

Heart-on-sleeve soul gets a technicolour glow with Samm Henshaw. The London-born, Nigerian singer-songwriter has a knack for turning raw feeling into big, joyful sound, sliding from tender croons to full-bodied choruses that hit you right in the chest. Blending soul, R&B, indie and funk, Henshaw first caught ears with ‘Only Wanna Be With You’, before ‘How Does It Feel?’, ‘Broke’ and fan favourite ‘Grow’ propelled him onto global playlists and sold-out stages. Praised by many for his “warm yet rough-hewn voice”, his latest album It Could Be Worse channels heartbreak into something hopeful, cathartic and alive.

When February 7, 2026
Where Arena @ Expo

Few voices hit like a Bryan Adams chorus – instant, anthemic and steeped in rock ’n’ roll memory. The legendary hitmaker returns to Singapore with his Roll With the Punches Tour, landing at the Arena @ Expo on February 7 for a night of fist-pumping nostalgia and full-throttle energy. Look forward to the classics that defined car radios and concert singalongs like 'Summer of ’69', '(Everything I Do) I Do It for You', 'Heaven' and 'Run to You', delivered with the same grit and heart that made Adams a global force. With over four decades of era-shaping hits behind him, he remains a master showman, effortlessly bouncing between power ballads and arena-ready rock.

When February 9, 2026
Where Esplanade Annexe Studio

Italian gothic metal heavyweights Lacuna Coil are set to unleash their dark, theatrical fury on Singapore this February. Touching down at Esplanade Annexe Studio on February 9, the band brings their Sleepless Empire Tour to the city as part of LAMC’s Singapore Rockfest series. You best believe there’ll be thunderous riffs, dual-vocal drama and the cinematic intensity that’s earned them a fiercely loyal global following and over two million records sold. Fresh cuts from Sleepless Empire, including ‘Never Dawn’, ‘I Wish You Were Dead’ and the Randy Blythe–assisted ‘Hosting the Shadow’ sit comfortably alongside fan favourites, promising a sweat-drenched, adrenaline-fuelled night.

When February 9, 2026
Where The Star Theatre

If slow jams had a velvet texture, they’d probably sound like Giveon. The seven-time Grammy-nominated R&B star behind hits like ‘Heartbreak Anniversary’, ‘Twenties,’ and ‘Like I Want You’ has announced his first-ever Singapore show. And if that’s not enough to send you spiralling into your softest playlist, remember: this is the same man whose voice helped turn ‘Peaches’ into a global earworm alongside Justin Bieber and Daniel Caesar. In true Giveon style, he’s now packing up the emotions, strings, horns and an eight-to-ten–piece band for a world tour, including a stop in Singapore, celebrating his sophomore album which has critics swooning.
