The Rose ROSETOPIA Asia Tour: Dates, Tickets & Venue (Singapore)

One Tuesday night in Buona Vista

The Rose play Singapore on October 27, 2026. The South Korean band brings its ROSETOPIA Asia Tour to The Star Theatre, the large auditorium perched above The Star Vista mall in the one-north district.

It is a weeknight show in a business district. That one detail affects your commute, your dinner and your ride home more than anything else on this page.

The organiser publishes the dates, venue and ticket links on its official site. The ticket page is where the seating categories and entry rules live, so treat it as the source on anything to do with seats.

The band behind the guitars

The Rose formed in Seoul in 2017 and made their name on a sound that is closer to indie rock than to the dance pop most people picture when they hear “K-pop”. They play their own instruments, and the vocals come in both Korean and English.

The four members are:

• Woosung: vocals and guitar
• Dojoon: vocals, guitar and keyboards
• Hajoon: drums
• Jaehyeong: bass

Their fans call themselves Black Rose. Early singles like “Sorry” and “She’s in the Rain” built the following, and the albums Heal and Dual grew it into arena-scale tours. Expect a live band show with real amplifiers and real drums, not backing tracks and choreography.

Inside The Star Theatre

The theatre seats about 5,000 people. It feels much smaller than that number suggests. The seating rises in steep tiers from a stage-level floor, so even the upper levels look down onto the band rather than across a wide, flat hall.

The building is easy to spot from Buona Vista. The theatre’s large rectangular block seems to float above a glass frontage, and you reach it by escalators through the mall’s open-sided levels.

Inside, it is fully air-conditioned and seated. For a band that moves between loud guitar songs and quiet piano ballads, the sightlines and acoustics of a purpose-built theatre suit them better than a stadium would.

The Tuesday rush hour at one-north

This is the part of the night most visitors underestimate. One-north is full of offices, research labs and university buildings. Buona Vista MRT is a busy interchange where the East-West Line (green) meets the Circle Line (orange), and on a weekday it fills with commuters through the evening peak.

From Buona Vista, Exit C leads to The Star Vista along a sheltered walkway in about five minutes. One-north MRT on the Circle Line is another option, a short walk from the venue’s other side.

Concert-goers coming from the city usually take the Circle Line or the East-West Line straight in. They avoid driving, because the mall car park and the surrounding roads fill up with office traffic on weekdays.

October falls in Singapore’s inter-monsoon period, when heavy afternoon thunderstorms are common. The covered link from the MRT means you can arrive dry, but a short umbrella is still useful if you walk any further.

How a night at The Star works

Concert nights here follow a familiar Singapore routine. These are the habits regulars rely on:

• Paying: contactless bank cards and mobile wallets work almost everywhere in the mall, and you can tap the same card at MRT gates instead of buying a ticket.
• Queues: fans typically arrive an hour or more before doors. Merchandise queues often form well before the auditorium opens, and sell-outs of popular sizes are a common complaint at K-pop shows.
• Fan projects: Black Rose fan groups often hand out free banners or small printed items in the queue. Taking one is normal, and so is joining in when they ask the crowd to hold it up during a song.
• Cameras: the ticket terms set the rules on photography and recording. Singapore venues usually enforce bag checks at entry, so travelling light gets you through faster.
• Tipping: there is no tipping culture here. Restaurant bills already include a service charge.

Sing along to the English choruses, but most fans stay quiet through the softer songs. The band’s ballads are part of the draw, and the room listens.

Dinner before doors

The lower floors of The Star Vista hold a range of casual restaurants and cafés, convenient for anyone walking straight from work. They get crowded with concert-goers and office workers at the same time on a show night.

If you want more room to choose, Holland Village is one stop away on the Circle Line. Its lanes of bars, cafés and restaurants are a long-standing west-side dining spot, and many fans eat there before taking the train back for doors.

The hawker centre at Holland Village is the budget-friendly choice. You will find Singapore staples like chicken rice and noodle dishes, and the shared tables are cleared by staff or by you, depending on the stall’s tray-return rules.

After the encore

Five thousand people leave at once, and most head for the same MRT entrance. The escalators down through the mall slow everyone to a shuffle for the first few minutes.

Attendees who want to skip the crush usually do one of three things:

• Linger over merch or a drink in the mall until the crowd thins.
• Walk to one-north station instead of Buona Vista.
• Book a Grab ride from a pickup point a little away from the main drop-off.

If you are staying in the city, the East-West Line runs straight to Raffles Place and City Hall. Visitors who want a quieter base sometimes pick a hotel in Buona Vista or Holland Village. That turns the end of the night into a short walk.
