The best concerts and music festivals in Singapore in 2026

When July 1, 2026
Where Arena @ Expo

“Baby I’m Back” – Australian singer The Kid Laroi brings his A Perfect World Tour to Singapore, with a one-night show set for July 1, 2026, at Arena @ Expo. 

The global run kicks off in April before moving through North America, the UK, and Europe, with Singapore locked in as one of its stops in Asia. The tour will also thread through cities like New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, and Berlin. 

The Kid Laroi last performed in Singapore in 2022 as part of the Singapore Grand Prix entertainment lineup, where he headlined The Padang stage – his only live appearance in the city to date. Unlike his 2022 F1 appearance, this will be a full headlining concert at Arena @ Expo, one of Singapore's larger indoor venues.

When July 10 to 19, 2026
Where Palawan Green, Sentosa

Glow Festival by Prudential is returning to Sentosa from July 10 to 19, 2026, and this time, it’s been reworked. Apart from its usual packed roster of instructors carrying the programme, this year’s festival is bringing in a solid music lineup, with stars Jason Derulo and Alessia Cara headlining its closing weekend.

What started as a one-day event has now grown into a full island takeover, backed by a new three-year partnership with the Sentosa Development Corporation and Singapore Tourism Board. This year’s programme packs in more than 70 sessions, spanning everything from sunrise yoga and coastal runs to strength training, breathwork, creative workshops and recovery experiences. It’s deliberately broad too, welcoming beginners, regulars, and honestly, anyone who's curious to try out something new.

When July 14, 2026
Where The Star Theatre

Can you believe it’s been over a decade since ‘Sweater Weather’ first wrapped us in its moody, monochrome embrace? And now The Neighbourhood is finally heading to our sunny shores. The California alt-rock outfit fronted by Jesse Rutherford is set to perform live in Singapore for the very first time next year as part of The Wourld Tour. This also marks a new chapter for the band as they reunite after their 2021 hiatus. If you’ve ever cried, crushed, or contemplated your life to one of The Neighbourhood’s dreamy, downtempo LA pop noir anthems, you’ll want to mark this date down in your diary pronto. 

When July 21, 2026
Where The Star Theatre

The Japanese-American singer-songwriter, known for writing songs that hit where it hurts, will be bringing that emotional intensity back to Singapore with a live show at The Star Theatre on July 21, 2026.

The one-night-only show supports her eighth studio album, Nothing’s About to Happen to Me (dropping February 27) and marks her latest stop in a massive global tour. Other Asia shows include the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, before arriving in Singapore.

When September 11, 2026
Where Singapore National Stadium

Bigbang is back – and heading straight for our National Stadium on September 11, 2026.

To celebrate 20 years since their debut, Bigbang members G-Dragon, Taeyang and Daesung have announced a massive 31-show world tour spanning Asian cities like Taipei, Hanoi, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, and Kaohsiung, as well as North America, Europe, and Australia.

This show marks the trio's first tour together since 2017 and one of the biggest live music events on the 2026 calendar. The first show will kick off at Goyang Stadium in South Korea for three nights from August 21 to 23 before making its way across the globe. 

When September 25, 2026
Where Singapore National Stadium

If your 2026 bingo card didn’t include a singalong to Post Malone’s Circles in a 50,000-seat stadium, consider this your plot twist: Post Malone is hauling his gloriously named Big Ass World Tour to Singapore this September, and he’s bringing Don Toliver along for the ride. The Singapore stop lands on September 25, 2026 at the National Stadium, and is part of a multi-city sweep that hits Hong Kong, Kaohsiung, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Seoul, and Tokyo.

If you last saw him in Singapore, it was probably during the 2023 Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix weekend. Since then, he’s only gone bigger. Diamond-certified smashes like Circles, Sunflower, rockstar, and Congratulations are just the tip of the iceberg in a catalogue that refuses to sit still. He also recently dropped the country-leaning F-1 Trillion album, which debuted at No.1 and racked up Grammy nominations.

When October 2 and 3, 2026
Where Singapore National Stadium

Save your tears for another day, because global star The Weeknd is bringing his blockbuster After Hours Til Dawn Tour to Asia for one last spin – and of course, Singapore is on the itinerary.

He will be performing at the Singapore National Stadium on Oct 2 and 3, 2026, marking the final opportunity to see the record-breaking production live before the curtain officially falls. The concert also doubles as a celebration of his cinematic album trilogy: After Hours (2020), Dawn FM (2022), and this year’s Hurry Up Tomorrow.

When November 10 and 11, 2026
Where Singapore Indoor Stadium

Who’s ready for the Black Parade? The MCRmy, it’s time to march once more. My Chemical Romance, the band that defined a generation of eyeliner-wearing, heart-on-sleeve rockers, is returning to Singapore after 17 years with not one, but two long-awaited shows at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on November 10 and 11 (postponed from their initial April 28 date). From ‘I’m Not Okay (I Promise)’ to the anthem of all anthems ‘Welcome to the Black Parade’, Gerard Way, Mikey Way, Ray Toro and Frank Iero are set to deliver the fist-pumping spectacle that made the band unmissable. 

Existing tickets for the initial date are valid for November 10. But if you can’t make it, you can request a full refund.

When November 25, 2026
Where Singapore National Stadium

Singapore, 'Welcome to the Jungle' – rock behemoth Guns N’ Roses is adding our city to their sprawling 2026 world tour, locking in a one-night-only stop at the Singapore National Stadium on November 25, 2026. 

Fresh off a 2025 run that blasted through Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America, the veteran rockstars clearly aren't in the mood to slow down. The next lap of their global tour will snake through Mexico and Brazil before storming stadiums across Europe, North America, Australia and Singapore.

For those keeping score, the band’s legacy reads like a greatest-hits playlist for rock history. Their 1987 debut album Appetite for Destruction remains the best-selling debut album in U.S. history, while the twin releases Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II famously hogged the top two spots on the Billboard 200 upon release. Decades on, their catalogue has shifted more than 100 million units.

When November 28, 2026
Where Babymonster at Singapore Indoor Stadium, Le Sserafim TBA

Singapore’s K-pop calendar has hit a traffic jam. On November 28, two beloved K-pop girl groups Babymonster and Le Sserafim are both scheduled to perform in Singapore on the same day. 

The overlap places two major K-pop acts in Singapore on Nov 28, but under different logistical conditions: Babymonster with a confirmed venue, and Le Sserafim with a confirmed date but no confirmed stage. Ticketing information for both has yet to be fully released.

Babymonster are currently on their Choom world tour, which spans Asia, Oceania and beyond, opening with a three-night run in Seoul before moving through major regional stops such as Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and Taiwan, with Singapore confirmed at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on November 28. 

On the other hand, Le Sserafim’s Pureflow world tour also includes Singapore within its broader itinerary across Japan, North America and Asia, with stops in cities including Osaka, Kanagawa, Fukuoka and Los Angeles, though their Singapore venue has yet to be announced.

When December 17, 19, 20 and 22, 2026
Where Singapore National Stadium

BTS have announced their return to Singapore for the first time in seven years, reuniting as a full group for a four-night takeover at the National Stadium in Kallang on December 17, 19, 20, and 22, 2026, as part of their BTS World Tour “Arirang”.

The run is part of a record-setting global stadium tour – 85 shows across 34 cities – kicking off in Goyang this April. And this isn’t just another tour; it also marks a first for the group: a 360-degree open stage design, turning the stadium into a full surround experience with no fixed “front” view, but performance from every angle.
