If you managed to score tickets to FLOW’s NARUTO THE ROCK World Tour at Esplanade Theatre this Thursday, 24 September — well done. The Singapore leg has officially sold out, and based on what audiences at earlier stops have reported, it is going to be one of the most emotionally charged Naruto live music experiences the region has ever staged.
What Is the FLOW NARUTO THE ROCK World Tour?
FLOW are the Japanese rock band behind three of the most beloved Naruto theme songs ever recorded: “GO!!!” (original series opening 4), “Sign” (Shippuden opening 6), and “GOLD” (Boruto opening 2). The Naruto the Rock concept turns that legacy into a full-scale live event — a world tour where FLOW performs not just their own Naruto tracks but also covers of iconic songs by other artists from the franchise’s run, drawing on their 2024 covers album FLOW THE COVER ~NARUTO Shibari~.
This Asia & Australia run is the fourth and final stage of the global tour, following sold-out shows in Europe, North America, and Latin America. Singapore (24 September) is the only Southeast Asian city on this leg before the band moves on to Bangkok (two dates: 26 and 27 September, a second show added due to demand), Taipei (18 October), Manila (20 October), and then Melbourne and Sydney in late October.
The Setlist: 24 Years of Naruto Anthems, Performed Live
Based on documented setlists from earlier tour stops, the Singapore show will span the full Naruto timeline across 20-plus songs. FLOW’s own originals — “GO!!!”, “Sign,” “GOLD,” “Re:member,” “Niji no Sora,” “Viva★Rock,” and “Yura Yura” — sit alongside live covers of era-defining tracks from the franchise’s other artists:
- “Haruka Kanata” — original by Asian Kung-Fu Generation (Naruto OP 2)
- “Hero’s Come Back!!” — original by nobodyknows+ (Shippuden OP 1)
- “Blue Bird” — original by Ikimono-gakari (Shippuden OP 3)
- “CLOSER” — original by Joe Inoue (Shippuden OP 4)
- “Silhouette” — original by KANA-BOON (Shippuden OP 16)
Official Naruto animation plays on screen behind the band throughout — synced to each track, tracing the story from Team 7’s early missions through Shippuden and into the Boruto era. Earlier tour stops in Europe and the Americas drew consistent responses from fans who described a cumulative emotional effect that builds through the night.
Singapore: Thursday, 24 September 2026 at Esplanade Theatre
Esplanade Theatre, 1 Esplanade Drive, Singapore — doors open 7pm, show at 8pm. Tickets were priced at S$78–S$198 via SISTIC, but the official FLOW tour poster now shows the Singapore date as sold out. Fans without tickets can monitor the SISTIC listing for any released returns, and keep an eye on secondary platforms — though resale premiums for a sold-out show at Esplanade will be significant.
Note that this Asia leg has no Japan dates at all, confirmed on the official Naruto website — making Singapore and the neighbouring regional cities the only places on Earth where fans can catch this show live in 2026. For anyone planning travel to Bangkok or Manila, both cities still have upcoming dates.
