Formed in 2009, CNBLUE is widely recognised as a leading force in South Korea’s pop-rock scene, with the consistent quality of their live performances and powerful vocals playing a key role in bridging K-pop and rock. The band comprises Jung Yong Hwa (Leader, Guitar, Main Vocal, Rap), Kang Min Hyuk (Drums), and Lee Jung Shin (Bass, Rap, Vocals).

They officially debuted in 2010 with “I’m a Loner” (2010) from their first EP “Bluetory”, a breakout release that was met with immediate success. The song topped multiple charts, earned several music show wins shortly after its debut, and established CNBLUE as one of the most impactful rookie bands of their generation. With over 30 million Spotify streams and counting, “I’m a Loner” (2010) remains a defining track in the band’s career.

Over the years, CNBLUE has released a string of well-loved hits including “Love” (2010), “Intuition” (2011), “Can’t Stop” (2014), and “A Sleepless Night” (2024), while accumulating numerous music show wins and major award nominations that reflect both their commercial success and musical credibility.

With a career spanning over a decade, CNBLUE continues to command major stages, from university festivals to large-scale rock events, solidifying their lasting popularity and household-name status domestically.

Beyond group activities, the members have each established fulfilling solo careers owing to their multiple talents. All three members have ventured into acting, starring in various TV and movie productions, and have received nominations and won awards for their talents. Individually, the members have also graced the covers of major fashion and lifestyle magazine publications including Esquire, Harper’s Bazaar, L’Officiel, Grazia, Marie Claire, NYLON, and more.

CNBLUE’s newly released full-length album, “3LOGY” (2026), marks the band’s first studio album in 11 years and also serves as the title of the tour, signalling the next chapter in the band’s strong and illustrious career. Staying true to their musical identity, the album features 10 self-composed tracks written by the members, highlighting their wide-ranging musicality. Together, the album and tour encapsulate CNBLUE’s journey, reflecting their past, present, and future direction.

For “BOICE” in Singapore, CNBLUE’s return to Singapore after nearly 2 years is a long-awaited promise. Fans can look forward to an unforgettable evening filled with the members’ energy, chemistry, as well as explosive performances of new and classic hits.

Saturday, January 17, 2026

Korean pop-rock band DAY6 is set to celebrate their 10th anniversary with a special global anniversary tour, bringing a decade of music, passion, and unforgettable performances to fans worldwide — including Singapore in 2026. Marking their first-ever arena-scale world tour in Singapore, DAY6 promises an electrifying musical journey that fans have been eagerly anticipating, combining their signature emotional rock sound with high-energy live performances.

The tour has kicked off in Goyang on 30–31 August, before travelling to Bangkok (27 September), Ho Chi Minh City (18 October), Hong Kong (17 January 2026), Manila (24 January), Kuala Lumpur (31 January), and culminating in Singapore on 18 April 2026.

The opening concerts in Goyang hold particular significance, marking the first time a Korean pop-rock band has headlined Goyang Stadium, and serving as a powerful prelude to DAY6’s upcoming musical chapter. The shows also follow the release of the band’s highly anticipated fourth full-length album, The DECADE, launched on the eve of their 10th anniversary.

DAY6’s enduring popularity across the region was most recently highlighted in Singapore, where the band performed at The Star Theatre in October 2024. The one-night show sold out instantly, leaving Singapore My Day buzzing with excitement and eagerly awaiting the band’s highly anticipated return.

As part of the anniversary tour, fans can look forward to powerful live renditions of new tracks from The DECADE, alongside timeless fan favourites such as “You Were Beautiful” and “Time of Our Life.” With their signature emotive sound and electrifying live performances, DAY6’s 10th anniversary tour promises to be a meaningful celebration of the band’s journey — and a heartfelt thank-you to My Day around the world.

DAY6 10th Anniversary Tour <The DECADE> in SINGAPORE will take place at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on 18 April 2026 (Sat).

Singapore Becomes BTS’s Longest Asia Stop Outside Korea and Japan

Thursday, January 15, 2026

Singapore Tourism Board welcomes BTS to Singapore for four nights in December this year, marking it the longest stop in Asia, outside of Korea and Japan, for the BTS World Tour. This underscores Singapore as a premier destination for entertainment with a vibrant, year-round calendar of exciting leisure experiences.

Singapore is well-positioned to host multi-night concerts of this scale. A strong track record in hosting major international events stems from the collective strength of Singapore’s entertainment ecosystem, encompassing expertise in delivering exceptional experiences, world-class venues, strong regional connectivity, excellent infrastructure, safe environment and diverse accommodation options that cater to different traveller preferences.

Ms Guo Teyi, Director, Leisure Events, Singapore Tourism Board, says, “We’re pleased to host the BTS World Tour for four nights in Singapore in partnership with Klook – the longest run in Asia outside of Korea and Japan. This milestone reflects the strong collaborative partnership with HYBE and its label, and is a testament to the growing confidence international artists and producers have in Singapore’s ability to deliver unforgettable, world-class live entertainment.

We look forward to welcoming ARMY, and to showcasing not only an extraordinary series of performances, but also the vibrant and distinctive experiences our city has to offer.”

Since 2024, STB has partnered with HYBE and its labels. This has encompassed diverse initiatives including content creation for social media, and event participation featuring prominent K-pop acts such as j-hope, SEVENTEEN, and ENHYPEN. Most recently, Singapore was featured in Jin’s music video “Don’t Say You Love Me”.

An official from HYBE says, “We are delighted to continue our partnership with STB, which has brought meaningful experiences to fans through our diverse roster of artists. While Singapore offers excellent infrastructure, it is the incredible passion and energy of our fans that truly makes it the perfect stage for BTS to connect with the audience. We are thrilled to present these performances for the fans who have waited for us, and look forward to exploring more innovative ways to bring our music and artists closer to them in the region.”

STB and Klook have a longstanding partnership to drive inbound tourism growth to Singapore. This was expanded last year to include new growth opportunities in line with STB’s Tourism 2040 ambitions. Ms. Sarah Wan, General Manager, Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia, says, “We are proud to work with the Singapore Tourism Board and HYBE to bring global icons BTS to Singapore. Together, we are reshaping how fans experience travel and entertainment. With a strong track record supporting major concerts and events across Asia, we are excited to connect fans with this world-class experience and showcase the best of what Singapore has to offer. We look forward to working alongside with STB and HYBE to deliver a successful event.”

BTS has a strong history with audiences in Singapore, having performed here several times since their debut, including in 2014 as part of their ‘BTS 2014 LIVE TRILOGY EPISODE 2! THE RED BULLET’ tour at The Star Theatre, and in 2017 for the ‘KBS Music Bank World Tour’ at Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre. Notably, their concert in 2019 for their ‘LOVE YOURSELF’ tour made them the first K-pop act to play at, and sell out, the Singapore National Stadium1. BTS members have also held solo concerts; with SUGA performing in 2023 and j-hope in 2025, both at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

K-pop concerts in Singapore consistently attract regional and international fans. Recent examples include SEVENTEEN’s sold-out shows on two nights at the National Stadium in January 2025, and sold-out shows by TXT in September 2024 and ENHYPEN in October 2025, both at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

STB continues to work closely with event organisers to develop and bring in other high quality, lifestyle events that appeal to both locals and visitors, adding vibrancy to our tourism landscape.
