1,500 Drones Will Light Up Sentosa for BTS Fans on Three Nights This December

Written by Jon Phay

From 16 to 22 December 2026, BTS fans can take on team missions, try hair tinsel and snap group photos at the BTS The City Arirang Singapore Fan Village at Resorts World Convention Centre on Sentosa. The official merch pop-up is at the same venue. Visit from 18 to 20 December and you can round off the evening at Palawan Beach, where 1,500 drones will light up the sky to BTS songs at 8.30pm each night.

Four zones to explore at the BTS Fan Village

The Fan Village opens from 11am to 10pm daily. Look out for the welcome tunnel and oversized Music Box installation as you explore the four zones.

Fan Village zone What to do
Game Zone Team up with friends for Team on the Run!, a separately ticketed challenge with a series of group missions. Each player receives a team memento, and the group gets a commemorative photo.
Play Zone Squeeze into a photo booth with your friends for a group shot.
Taste Zone Try food and drinks that pair Korean favourites with Singapore flavours.
Beauty Zone Stop by before the photo booths to add hair tinsel or face gems to a look inspired by your favourite BTS member.

BTS rave party at Sentosa features a 10-minute drone show

From 18 to 20 December, the BTS Rave & Drone Party runs from 5.30pm to 10.30pm nightly at Palawan Green and Palawan Beach. Singapore K-pop DJ RAW takes the decks at 7.30pm, followed by the drone show from 8.30pm to 8.40pm. General admission costs S$30, or S$45 with lounge access. Food and drinks cost extra.

The nearly 10m BTS pixel-art inflatable floats just offshore at Palawan Beach from 4 to 31 December. You can see it daily from 7am to 10.30pm, including on days when there’s no rave or drone show.

Shop for official BTS merchandise at the pop-up

Once you’ve explored the Fan Village, you can shop for official BTS merchandise at a separate pop-up in the same convention centre. The shop opens from 11am to 10pm daily from 16 to 22 December. Reserve your pop-up ticket through the Weverse app. The convention centre is also a stop on the BTS The City Arirang Stamp Rally, so you can collect a stamp during your visit.

If you miss the Sentosa dates, a second BTS pop-up runs from 4 to 31 December at the Supreme Court Terrace at National Gallery Singapore.

Universal Studios Singapore stays open until 1am

On Monday, 21 December, Universal Studios Singapore hosts BTS Night Out from 8pm to 1am. Korean DJ JAGI takes the decks, selected rides stay open, and fans can join trivia games before the fireworks at 11.45pm. Regular Night Out tickets cost S$58 for one or S$108 for two and include Fan Village entry.

The BTS Lightscape turns the Egyptian façade of Revenge of the Mummy into a giant screen for projections inspired by BTS songs and Singapore landmarks. The show starts at 7.30pm every night from 4 December 2026 to 3 January 2027 and is included with regular park admission.

For the BTS fireworks, head to Lake Hollywood in the park’s Hollywood zone. Showtimes vary by date, and the late display on 21 December is exclusive to Night Out ticket holders.
