SINGAPORE – Japanese pop star Ayumi Hamasaki will hold a concert at Singapore Indoor Stadium on July 5.
Tickets from $188 will go on sale on May 26 via Ticketmaster.
This will be the 46-year-old's first solo concert here. Her label, Avex, first announced the concert – without details on the venue, date and ticketing – in April.
The show is part of her Ayumi Hamasaki Asia Tour 2025 A – I Am Ayu – Ep.II tour that kicked off in Tokyo on April 8. Other stops include Hong Kong and Taipei, as well as Japanese cities Nagoya, Hiroshima, Osaka, Sendai and Fukuoka.
The 2024 leg of the I Am Ayu tour saw her perform in Chinese cities Shanghai, Guangzhou and Ningbo.
The tour features an immersive four-sided stage, which delivers a 360-degree experience from all sides of the venue. 'This year, we start from Japan – and we're bringing it to Asia,' the singer says in a statement.
The singer, known as Ayu to her fans, made her debut in 1998. She is one of the most well known J-pop singers of the early 2000s, inspiring fashion trends and charting with songs such as A (1999) and Seasons (2000).
In Singapore, she performed at the Japanese music festival A-Nation at Marina Bay Sands in 2014. She also performed at the MTV Asia Music Awards in Singapore in 2002.

Twice to perform in Singapore twice, on Oct 11 and 12

Twice to perform in Singapore twice, on Oct 11 and 12 SINGAPORE – For Twice, two times is the charm, as the South Korean girl group will again perform two concerts at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, on Oct 11 and 12. These shows are part of their This Is For world tour, in support of their upcoming fourth studio album of the same name, which is set to be released on July 11. A week later, their tour will kick off in Incheon, South Korea, with two performances on July 19 and 20. It will then head to a number of Japanese locations, such as Osaka, Aichi, Fukuoka and Tokyo. After that, it will hit Macau and the Philippine municipality of Bulacan before landing in Singapore. Twice last took the stage here in 2023 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Sept 2 and 3. Those concerts were part of their Ready To Be tour and featured hits such as Feel Special (2019) and The Feels (2021). In 2019, they performed at the same venue for one night. Newer releases will be highlighted in their upcoming tour, such as music from their EPs Strategy (2024) and With You-th (2024). Ticketing details have not been released yet. The nine-member group, which debuted in 2015, consist of Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung and Tzuyu. More recently, they opened for Coldplay during the British rock band's six concerts in Seoul. During those shows in April, the girl group debuted their remix of the Coldplay song We Pray (2024), with them singing in Korean along with Coldplay's vocalist Chris Martin performing in English. On May 19, 2025, a 13-second teaser video for Twice's upcoming album was uploaded to social media by their company, JYP Entertainment. Titled Intro: Four, the clip shows all the members standing in formation in skin-tight cobalt outfits as a lively percussion beat plays.
