Exo Planet #6 – Exhorizon In Singapore<\/h2>\n
Singapore Indoor Stadium<\/b>
July 24<\/b><\/p>\n
For Exo fans, it was a night of novelty and nostalgia when the K-pop boy band performed in Singapore on July 24 for the first time in seven years.<\/p>\n
Since their 2012 debut, they have included the Lion City on every one of their headlining tours. From 2014 to 2019, they staged a concert at the Singapore Indoor Stadium almost every year.<\/p>\n
So their two-night stop here in 2026 at the same venue \u2013 they have a second show on July 26 – was a return to form for fans who have missed the group\u2019s bold, boisterous sound since the Covid-19 pandemic. When tickets were released in April, they quickly sold out.<\/p>\n
Exo\u2019s five active members \u2013 Suho, Chanyeol, D.O., Kai and Sehun \u2013 are now aged between 32 and 35.<\/p>\n
Their Singapore concerts mark the conclusion of their sixth tour, Exo Planet #6 \u2013 Exhorizon, in a place where many of them have enjoyed immense popularity. As Chanyeol put it: \u201cSingapore was the perfect city for us to end our tour.\u201d<\/p>\n
Here are the three highlights from their 160-minute comeback gig:<\/p>\n
Familiar favourites<\/h2>\n
As if knowing how much their fandom has craved their old hits, Exo plunged headfirst into their well-loved numbers.<\/p>\n
They opened with debut single Mama (2012) amid a blast of pyrotechnics and their signature energetic choreography. They followed up with the dark and intense Monster (2016), which was ranked No. 3 on US Billboard\u2019s list of the 20 best K-pop songs of 2016.<\/p>\n
The sensual Love Shot (2018) and high-energy El Dorado (2015) got their time to shine, as did the playful Growl (2013), which topped the US Billboard list of the 20 best K-pop songs of 2013.<\/p>\n Exo performing the high-energy song El Dorado (2015).<\/p>\n PHOTO: LIVE NATION SINGAPORE<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n These throwbacks were a reminder of Exo\u2019s distinguished discography which made them an unstoppable force in the late 2010s.<\/p>\n Exo\u2019s eighth studio album Reverxe, released in January, was the group\u2019s first in three years. And the quintet wasted no time getting fans up to speed.<\/p>\n Of the nine new tracks, six made the setlist. R&B love song Moonlight Shadows was performed on a raised platform on the B-stage amid purple and blue lights, while Crazy was part of a dance medley which quickly got audiences on their feet.<\/p>\n Synth-heavy Back It Up revved the energy up further, and lead single Crown took the final spot on the official line-up.<\/p>\n But Exo also saved two songs for the encore, with funky track Back Pocket showing off their romantic sides and rock number Flatline closing the show on a contemplative note.<\/p>\n Exo saved the rock number Flatline (2026) for their encore, closing the show on a contemplative note.<\/p>\n PHOTO: LIVE NATION SINGAPORE<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Seven years is a long time to wait, and Exo promised to return to town sooner next time.<\/p>\n Kai said: \u201cIt has been a while since we last came here as Exo… We are going to be back here real soon, so don\u2019t think of (this) as the final tour. It is going to be even more fun next time. We are going to come back as soon as possible for you.\u201d<\/p>\n D.O. shared that he had a lot of fun, and Sehun assured fans: \u201cWe will come back to Singapore, and we won\u2019t make you wait for too long.\u201d<\/p>\n Leader Suho sealed the deal when he said: \u201cAs long as you love Exo and want Exo, we are going to come back.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/picture><\/div>
