If you think Singapore is boring, it’s probably because you haven’t seen this insane line-up of concerts and performances happening throughout 2026. Our major theatres and concert halls could not be fuller, and everyone needs to experience a live show at least once in their lives.

So scroll through your options and take your pick. Whether you’re into classical arts, heavy metal, or mainstream pop, there’s going to be something here for you.

Ballet and Theatre

The Royal Ballet

Gracing the Singapore stage with their beauty and elegance, The Royal Ballet is coming back to Esplanade for the first time in 21 years. Watch the ethereal dancers glide effortlessly across the stage, embodying the moving melodies of classical composers such as Tchaikovsky. Featuring some of the greatest stars the industry has to offer, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness true greatness in action.

Les Misérables

This powerful story of friendship, love, and sacrifice has audiences around the world in a chokehold. Set against the backdrop of the early French Revolution, experience the powerful voices and moving stories of each character. In theatres from now till 10 May 2026, catch them in action for a heart-gripping performance.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Revisit childhood classics like the iconic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory—but now with music, dancing, and immersive sets that bring Roald Dahl’s fascinating world to life. Get your golden ticket and dive into his world of pure imagination, plus lots and lots and lots of chocolate.

Cats

This quirky, theatrical, but seriously entertaining musical is making its way to Singapore. Its unique concept may leave audiences a little confused, but the lively dances, catchy tunes, and iconic Memory musical number never fail to impress.

The Nutcracker

The Nutcracker has always been a Christmas classic for dancers and non-dancers alike. If you’re looking to dip your toes into this classic art form, the State of Georgia is bringing the beloved repertoire to Singapore, and it’s the perfect place to start. Enjoy entrancing acts like the Waltz of the Snowflakes and the Grand Pas De Deux.

Live Concerts

SPORK

Let loose your emotions in a pit of guttural shrieks and harsh tones. Wire Entertainment is bringing four bands together for an evening of wild, adrenaline-fuelled performance. Indulge in some alternative beats as Courts of Hell, Lies Upon Death, Maneaters, and Panadoll stir up a storm this April.

Marking his first major solo tour, it’s about time Chen takes the stage, showcasing his powerful vocals. He made his solo debut in 2019 after a successful career as lead vocalist in the popular boy band EXO. Catch tracks from his newest album, Arcadia—alongside fan-favourites like Beautiful Goodbye and Best Luck.

Laufey

We’ve been obsessed with her jazzy melodies and hypnotising voice. Laufey carved out her career with a unique soundscape of soft yet upbeat vibes. Her enchanting songs could be put on repeat for hours, and we would never get bored. While tickets are unfortunately sold out, you can still join the waitlist and cross your fingers you’ll get lucky!

Mitski

If you want to lose yourself in melancholy, Mitski’s moody tones and raw, heavy vocals will do the job. Some of her most popular hits include My Love Mine All Mine and Nobody, but let’s be real, everything she sings hits harder when you’re in your emotions.

EXO

EXO is set to embark on their EXhOrizon world tour. Although only six members will be present, we can trust these kings of K-pop to put up a good show regardless. Get ready for classic songs such as Love Shot and new music from their REVERXE album, such as Crown.

Alex Warren

Alex Warren’s success story is nothing short of empowering. Struggling through his childhood and early career, his powerful ballad, Ordinary, propelled him to stardom almost overnight in 2025. Now, a year later, he is already embarking on his first tour with Singapore included in the debut line-up. Make sure you head down to support the inspiring up-and-comer!

&TEAM

With the K-wave taking over the world like a storm, let’s spotlight some Japanese artists who deserve just as much love. &TEAM is a well-established Japanese boy group with a rapidly expanding global audience. This August, check out their Blaze the Way concert tour for a blend of retro-pop and R&B.

LANY

American pop band LANY is coming to the Singapore stage with its latest release, Soft. Their greatest hits include ILYSB and LANY, which continue to draw in fans with their dreamy, soulful sound. While we’re here, did you know the band name is an acronym for Los-Angelos, New York?

My Chemical Romance

Going back to the legendary 2000s, My Chemical Romance rose to prominence with their emo-punk sound and aggressive sonic landscape. Despite their disbandment in 2013, their music has withstood the test of time, culminating in a successful reunion in 2019. Their upcoming world tour will feature hits from both eras, such as Teenagers and The Ghost of You.

Joji

You may remember the song Glimpse of Us sweeping through social media a while back. Well, the mastermind behind that sensation, Joji, is coming to Singapore with other similarly heart-wrenching ballads. This time, his production is reported to be an immersive experience, unlike anything fans have ever seen. So make sure you sign up for ticket release alerts here, and don’t miss out on the fun!

Guns N’ Roses

Going back further in time, Guns N’ Roses is another American hard-rock band that left a lasting cultural impact between the late 80s and early 2000s. Also surviving a long disbandment, they came back more relevant than ever in 2016 and have been active ever since.

Their upcoming tour is projected to be a 3-hour-long marathon featuring icons like Sweet Child O’ Mine and new releases like Atlas. Make sure to book your tickets to see these legends at play.
