Global K-Pop sensation EXO is set to grace the Singapore Indoor Stadium stage on July 26, marking the group’s highly anticipated return to the city-state after nearly seven years. The full-group performance is part of their freshly unveiled world tour, EXO Planet 6 – EXhOrizon, promising fans a powerhouse evening of anthems and new material.
This tour date signifies a crucial milestone for the group and their dedicated local fanbase, known as EXO-Ls, as it represents their first complete group concert in Singapore since the EXO Planet #5 – EXplOration tour in 2019. That performance predated a period of mandatory military enlistments and a subsequent hiatus that saw the group’s trajectory temporarily shift.
A Triumphant Return to the Full Stage
The EXO Planet 6 tour officially launches with a three-night residency in Seoul at the KSPO Dome, beginning April 10, timed just after the group’s 14th debut anniversary. After the kickoff, EXO will embark on an intensive Asian circuit, visiting major cities including Ho Chi Minh City, Nagoya, Bangkok, Macau, Osaka, Jakarta, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Tokyo, and Kaohsiung, before concluding the extensive run in Singapore.
Attendees can expect a dynamic setlist that spans the group’s extensive discography. Chart-topping classics like “Growl,” “Call Me Baby,” “Love Shot,” and the aggressive “Monster” are virtually guaranteed to generate high energy. The group will also showcase tracks from their most recent album, Reverxe, integrating their latest sound into the live experience.
Maintaining the Momentum in Singapore
While the full group’s concert hiatus in Singapore has been considerable, local fans have not been entirely without EXO content. In the past year, several members sustained a consistent presence through solo engagements, demonstrating the enduring strength of the brand.
For instance, Kai brought his solo tour, KAION, to Singapore in June, delivering a high-energy performance focused on his solo discography. D.O. followed suit in August, captivating audiences with his distinct vocal style during his solo tour. Most recently, Baekhyun successfully wrapped up legs of his inaugural solo world tour, making appearances in November and May 2024. These individual ventures kept the members connected with their international audience while the group was adjusting to post-enlistment activity.
The collective return of EXO affirms their status as leaders in the second generation of mainstream K-Pop, continually demonstrating resilience and adaptability in a rapidly evolving music industry.
Planning Your Concert Experience
As of press time, ticketing details for the July 26 concert at the Singapore Indoor Stadium have yet to be released. Prospective attendees should monitor official announcements from concert organizers and the venue for information regarding sales dates, pricing tiers, and accessible seating options. Demand is expected to be exceptionally high given the seven-year gap since their last full-group engagement.
This highly anticipated show adds significant weight to Singapore’s already packed calendar of live music events, reiterating its status as a pivotal destination on the global touring circuit for major international acts.
