Over at Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer, Stage Heat Smooth Encoure channels intensity and charm of their track Thunder through a spicy K-Town Fried Chicken Burger matched with a comforting milkshake.

Each menu bundle – as well as every purchase of Origin + Bloom’s special popsicle – comes with a random Seventeen member portrait coaster, available while stocks last.
LIGHT-UPS, PROJECTIONS AND MUSIC
Beyond the restaurants, MBS also transforms into a veritable fan zone. From now till Mar 8, digital screens across The Shoppes and hotel lobby will feature the K-pop group's music videos and exclusive tour imagery, while curated 30-minute playlists of hits will play everyday at 12pm, 3pm, 6pm and 9pm.

On Mar 7, the day of the concert, the MBS facade will light up from 7pm to midnight in Seventeen's colours, perfect for photos.
PRE-CONCERT PARTY AT MARQUEE
Fans can also start celebrations early at Marquee Singapore on Mar 6, where they can rock out to a Seventeen-themed party from 10pm to 6am the next day.
A Seventeen-exclusive set by Marquee's resident DJ will take place between 10.30pm and 11.30pm. There will be no live artist appearance or performance by Seventeen members.
Ahead of concert day, the Singapore National Stadium will roll out a special one-night-only light-up on Mar 4, from 7.30pm to 10pm. The stadium dome will also display a dedicated welcome message for fans in a perfect photo spot for Carats.
Beyond official programmes, fan-organised cafe events – a long-standing K-pop tradition – also often pop up in Singapore ahead of major shows. Typically planned by fans for fans, these gatherings transform cafes or pop-up spaces into themed meet-up spots where attendees can trade merchandise, take photos and collect limited-edition freebies created by fan communities.
One such event organised by @KpopEventInSG will take place on Mar 7, 2026 (location and timing to be announced), featuring a specially prepared fan support freebie set that includes a Seventeen-themed tissue pack, four photo cards, and three random member stickers. Fans can reserve their sets via Telegram.
Once you’ve breezed through concert week, it’s time to put your game face on for the show itself. Here are some things to help you get ready for show day.
Concert fashion is part of the experience, and for Seventeen’s show, there are a few ways to go about planning your outfit.
First, you can stick to Seventeen’s signature pastel colour palette. Soft shades of pink, blue and white will never fail you here. Alternatively, you can also go for a bolder, edgier look inspired by Seventeen’s iconic Super, Maestro and Bad Influence eras with darker colours like black and red taking the spotlight.
Whichever style you choose, comfort remains essential. It will be warm and you will likely be jumping and dancing along to the group’s high-energy music for over two hours, making comfortable sneakers and breathable clothes a practical choice.
The expected setlist for this tour differs widely from previous Seventeen shows. You are still likely to hear their popular tracks, including Hot, Hit, Super and Thunder. But this tour features solo performances like never before.
Their 2025 album Happy Burstday contains solo tracks from each of the 13 members. In the New_ World Tour, four members – Jeonghan, Wonwoo, Hoshi and Woozi – will be absent as they are serving their mandatory military service in South Korea.
That means you can look forward to the solo stages of the remaining nine members – Trigger by Dino, Gemini by Jun, Shining Star by Vernon, Fortunate Change by Joshua, Happy Virus by DK, Raindrops by Seungkwan, Skyfall by The8, Shake It Off by Mingyu and Jungle by S.Coups.
The group's concert encores are legendary, with their never-ending Aju Nice stealing the spotlight every time. Released in 2016, no Seventeen show (even their sub-unit shows) is complete without this iconic song played at least once. So, be prepared. You never know what surprise awaits you at a Seventeen concert.
The nearest MRT station to the National Stadium is Stadium (CC6). Due to track enhancements and tunnel works on the Circle Line until Apr 19, there may be some disruptions to your journey.
According to the Land Transport Authority, shuttle trains will operate on one platform, between Paya Lebar and Mountbatten stations in 10-minute-intervals. As such, commuters are advised to factor in an additional 30 minutes to their journey. Shuttle buses are not available on weekends.
After the concert, those looking to avoid the Circle Line disruptions can alternatively walk to Kallang (EW10) or Tanjong Rhu (TE23) MRT stations.
Another option that might help you avoid the post-show crowd would be to take the train from Nicoll Highway (CC5) station, then take the shuttle train from Mountbatten (CC7). It could end up being a much shorter walk than to Kallang (EW10) without adding significant travel time, while being much less crowded and stressful.
A little preparation goes a long way at any concert, especially a Seventeen concert where the energy will be undeniably high. Expect long queues and warm weather, so being armed for survival will be your best bet.
Start with an empty water bottle to refill inside the venue and stay hydrated instead of combatting long queues at the stalls. Lozenges are another underrated essential – you’ll likely be singing and screaming throughout the night.
A fully charged power bank is crucial if you plan to film the performances or navigate post-show crowds, along with making mobile payments within the venue. On that note, be prepared with cashless payment methods as National Stadium has gone cashless. The venue accepts Visa, Mastercard, PayNow and NETS across its facilities.

Given Singapore’s heat and the size of the crowd, a small portable fan can make a big difference during waits. And of course, fans hoping to join the lightstick ocean should bring their Caratbong, which synchronises with the show for a coordinated concert experience.
Other useful extras include a bag that meets venue size restrictions (nothing larger than 35cm x 20cm x 30cm), tissues or wet wipes for quick refreshes, and earplugs to protect your ears from the loud music. These small additions can make a long concert night significantly more comfortable.
