Jay Chou Carnival II World Tour: Dates, Tickets & Venue (Singapore)

Three nights under the Kallang dome

The Singapore leg is called “Sunny Day”. The name comes from 晴天 (Qíng Tiān), the 2003 ballad from Ye Hui Mei and probably the song Jay Chou is best known for. It is the one where a stadium of fans takes over the chorus without being asked.

Carnival II plays three consecutive nights at the National Stadium, from Friday 8 to Sunday 10 January 2027. That makes this one of the longest stops on the tour. The stadium is the centrepiece of the Singapore Sports Hub and holds around 55,000 people. Its retractable dome roof matters in January, which falls in the north-east monsoon season, when evening showers are common.

Getting to the National Stadium

The stadium sits on reclaimed land in Kallang, east of the city centre. You have three practical options:

• Stadium MRT (Circle Line, CC6): the nearest station. It opens straight onto the Sports Hub concourse.
• Kallang MRT (East-West Line, EW10): roughly a 10–15 minute walk across the bridge by the Kallang Basin. Many concertgoers use it to skip the Circle Line crush after the show.
• Mountbatten MRT (Circle Line, CC7): one stop further on. It is quieter for the ride home.

Taxis and ride-hail cars queue at designated pick-up points around the Sports Hub. After a full-house show, people often wait a long time for one. The MRT accepts contactless bank cards and EZ-Link cards at the gates, so you don’t need to buy a paper ticket.

Concert night at the Sports Hub

Tickets for the three nights are sold through the concert organiser, with seats spread across the stadium’s tiered bowl. On show nights, Mandarin is heard as often as English around the stadium.

Fans usually arrive well before the show and eat first. Kallang Wave Mall is built into the Sports Hub and has food courts, chain restaurants and a supermarket under one roof. For hawker food, Old Airport Road Food Centre is a walk or one MRT stop away. It is one of Singapore’s best-known food centres.

In the stands, the moments fans wait for are the shared ones:

• “Sunny Day” (晴天): the obvious peak on a night named after it.
• “Blue and White Porcelain” (青花瓷): the Chinese-style ballad that won Golden Melody Awards.
• “Nunchucks” (双截棍): the early hip-hop track that crowds chant along to.

Singing along in the stands

Singapore’s Jay Chou fans tend to know every lyric. Many sing the Mandarin phrases phonetically even if they don’t speak the language. Searching song titles in Chinese characters, as above, brings up lyric videos quickly.

Payment around the Sports Hub is almost entirely cashless. Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Singapore’s PayNow QR codes all work, although a few hawker stalls still prefer cash. Tipping is not customary in Singapore.

Local stadium etiquette is strict on one point. Standing to film across a whole song tends to annoy the row behind, and ushers do step in. Many attendees film one chorus and then put the phone away. The exit after the encore is the slowest part of the night: lots of people stay in their seats for ten minutes or walk to Kallang station instead.
