B.I made a much-anticipated return to Singapore with his 2025 B.I TOUR: The Last Parade Tour in SINGAPORE, accompanied by special guest Coogie. The intimate concert was held at Capitol Theatre on the 20th of September. The multi-talented artist performed some of his biggest hits, including “BTBT”, “illa illa”, “WATERFALL” and “COSMOS” delivering each song with intensity and emotion that had the audience dancing and singing along throughout the night.
Despite feeling unwell, B.I made a sincere effort to engage with the crowd. During a talk segment, he asked how many fans had attended multiple shows on the tour and was clearly surprised when many hands went up. Playfully, he picked up the water bottles that were prepared for him from the stage and joked, “Water is precious in a concert hall,” before offering them as gifts to those dedicated fans, making the audience burst into laughter.
The fan chants were especially loud during older, well-loved tracks like “MICHELANGELO” and “BE I”. It was thrilling to see fans dancing, shouting the chants with passion, and waving their colorful lightsticks in perfect harmony.
There was also a moment when a fan in the standing area needed to be escorted out as she was not feeling well. B.I immediately paused the show to check on her wellbeing and made sure she was well-assisted. After confirming she was okay, he asked the audience if they could restart the song from the beginning, demonstrating both professionalism and genuine care for his fans.
Near the end of the concert, B.I was surprised with a carefully crafted animation tribute that highlighted not only his artistic journey but also the impact he has had on his fans’ lives. The animation which was painstakingly prepared by one of his fans, almost moved us to tears, and we also noted that B.I looked quite emotional as he watched the video.
Though he appeared unwell, coughing occasionally and looking pale, B.I delivered a wonderful and memorable performance. He even shared unreleased demo tracks and went into the crowd to take selfies, giving fans a chance to see him at a closer distance.
As the concert drew to a close, the chorus of “Parade” echoed in our minds, the lyrics “너와 나의 last parade, parade~” lingering long after the final note. We eagerly look forward to B.I’s next visit to Singapore and the new music he will share with the world.
