Singapore ONCEs have a lot to be proud of — Twice delivered a concert that didn’t just meet expectations; it surged past them. Their “This Is For” world tour stop at Singapore Indoor Stadium on 11 October 2025 was electric, ambitious and a reminder of why this group remains one of the biggest names in K-pop today.
Why this concert stood out
Here are a few reasons fans and critics alike are calling this one of the best live shows of 2025:
1. ALL nine members, fully present
One of the most emotional moments was seeing Jeongyeon back on stage with the other eight members — performing together in full voice. It was a powerful moment for her, the group, and the fans.
2. A stage built for everyone
The 360-degree “in-the-round” stage setup meant no one got a bad view. With runways extending from the main square platform plus hydraulic lifts for dramatic elevation, the production was designed so every fan felt close. Massive LED walls added immersive visuals.
3. Strong performance across the board
From high-energy hits to emotional ballads, Twice showed off both the spectacle and the tenderness that their fans love. Crowd favourites like “This Is For”, “Fancy”, “I Can’t Stop Me” and “Strategy” got the stage shaking and hearts soaring. For ballads, the group nailed moments of levity, vocal clarity and fan connection.
4. Visuals, costume, choreography — sharp and evolving
Costume changes, fresh choreography adapted for the 360-degree layout, careful staging, and lighting effects were all finely tuned. Twice didn’t just repeat past shows — they leaned into new technical demands to offer something immersive.
5. A show that celebrated the fans
This performance felt like a tribute to the ONCE community. From crowd interaction, to carefully chosen songs, to the sheer scale of the show (sold-out stadium, two nights), you could tell the bond between Twice and their fans was central. It wasn’t just performing for people; it was with people.
Small imperfections, but nothing that detracted
No show is perfect, and a few minor things came up:
- Some songs performed during their Incheon leg, like Takedown, didn’t make the Singapore set-list. Fans noticed.
- The technical demands of a 360-degree stage mean some transitions are tougher; occasionally member positioning or lighting didn’t perfectly reach all angles. But by and large, the team had clearly practiced and adjusted well. Reviews seem to agree the energy, spectacle and heart made up for anything small.
Verdict
For Singapore, this was more than just a concert. It was a statement: Twice continues to grow, refine, and surprise. Their artistry, stagecraft, and connection with fans make “This Is For” not just a tour stop, but one of the year’s defining live-entertainment moments.
If I were to score it: 9.5 out of 10 — nearly flawless, wildly entertaining, and emotionally satisfying.
