The best concerts and tours coming to Asia in 2025

Mother Monster is coming to Asia – but to one city only. Global superstar Lady Gaga will be playing four precious nights in Singapore this May, in a move that’s caused, well, mayhem across the region. Her tour, called Mayhem after her latest album, will fire up the Lion City’s National Stadium on May 18, 19, 21, and 24. Fingers crossed that she’ll pull a Taylor Swift and announce more dates because we’re sure millions of fans across Asia are dying for a seat. Pre-sales are ongoing – check out our guide to concert prices and seating plans.

There’s an “Earfquake” coming, and it’s Tyler, the Creator’s Chromakopia world tour. The American rapper will be performing in four lucky cities on his Asia leg: Tokyo (Sep 9), Seoul (Sep 13), Bangkok (Sep 16), and Manila (Sep 20). We say lucky, because his last two world tours skipped over Asia. Tickets for Chromakopia’s Seoul, Bangkok and Manila shows went on sale on March 5 – Tokyo’s on-sale begins March 20. Find out how to score those tickets here. 

It’s the King of K-pop himself. After dropping his first full-length album in 12 years this February, G-Dragon announced a long-anticipated world tour – and it’s stopping in eight cities in Asia. Besides his home country Korea, the Bigbang leader will also tour Tokyo, Bulacan, Osaka, Macau, Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, and Hong Kong. Get ready to wave your lightsticks to songs from his record-breaking Übermensch album – we’re talking hits like “Drama” and “Home Sweet Home”.

We just can’t help saying it, but Blackpink in your area! The mega K-pop girl group are taking time out of their busy (individual) careers for a long-awaited world tour. Jennie, Lisa, Rose, and Lisa will be playing five massive shows in Asia, specifically Seoul and Tokyo, with more dates to come (perhaps some in Southeast Asia?). While we wait for the news, here’s all we know so far about Blackpink’s 2025 world tour. 

Girls' Generation's leader returns to the solo stage with a highly-anticipated Asia tour in 2025. Taeyeon, regarded as one of the most skilled vocalists in K-pop, kicked things off with a three-day sold-out show at Korea's KSPO Dome this March. She most recently performed in Taipei and will soon head to the Philippines, Indonesia, Japan, China, Singapore, Thailand, and Hong Kong. Initial reviews have been nothing but good, praising Taeyeon's intricate sets, commanding stage presence, and (of course) her incredible gem of a voice. Be prepared for an emotional rollercoaster of a concert, with Taeyeon going through angelic tracks like "Heaven", fierce bangers like "Cold as Hell", and playful songs like "Why". 

BTS member J-Hope’s Hope on the Stage world tour is currently on its North American leg, and it has received absolutely glowing reviews. Divided into five parts – Ambition, Dream, Expectations, Fantasy, Wish/Encore – his first solo tour has been described by NME as “coursing with creativity and ambition”. We wouldn’t expect any less from the highly-talented dancer and rapper, who cut his teeth in Korea’s underground dance scene before making it big in BTS. The tour’s Asia leg begins on April 12 in Pasay, the Philippines, before travelling to Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, Taiwan, and Japan. Find out more here. 

Needless to say, fans breathed a sigh of relief when Brit pop legends Liam and Noel Gallagher ended the long-standing feud that led to Oasis’ breakup in 2009. It was followed by jubilation when they announced a massive Oasis world tour. For its Asia leg, the tour will travel to South Korea (Oct 21) and Japan (Oct 25 and 26), where they last performed 16 years ago. NME has put together their dream setlist – we’ll be happy as long as they perform “Wonderwall” and “Don’t Look Back in Anger”.

If it feels like Coldplay has been on tour forever – they have. The Music of the Spheres world tour kicked off in Costa Rica in 2022 and is still going, with upcoming Asia concerts in Mumbai, Hong Kong, and Seoul. It’s already toured other parts of Asia, such as Japan, Indonesia, Singapore, and the Philippines, wowing audiences with its next-level production and the band’s showmanship. Performed in four acts – Planets, Moons, Stars, Home – the setlist includes classic Coldplay hits like “The Scientist”, “Yellow”, “Clocks”, and “Fix You” that will get even the casual fans right in the heart. 

This one’s for all the heartbroken girls. American indie-pop darling, known for her “sad-girl bedroom pop”, is bringing her successful The Secret of Us tour to Asia – her first time touring in the region. Gracelanders (or Gracies) can look forward to the latest tracks from the star’s second studio album, like “I Love You, I’m Sorry”, “Tough Love”, and “Good Luck Charlie”. Her first stop? Singapore on April 3 before moving on to Seoul, Tokyo, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Taipei, and Bangkok. Find out more about tour dates, venues, and ticketing in our guide here. 

From a bedroom studio to a global arena tour – Keshi is truly a Soundcloud success story. Now, he’s embarking on his sophomore tour, called Requiem, after his album of the same name. Centering on themes of love, loss, and fame, this album was created with live performances in mind – which explains the dramatic soundscapes that are going to sound even grander in person. The Requiem world tour will land in Shanghai, Wuhan, Beijing, Singapore, and Taipei next. Check Live Nation for dates and tickets.
