MAMAMOO member Solar successfully concluded the Singapore stop of her highly imaginative and popular Asian tour, ‘Solar 3rd CONCERT: Solaris’, on November 22, [2025].
The concert, which blends a unique science-fiction narrative with her powerful musicality, is now heading towards its final destination, bringing Solar’s global concert series to a climactic end.
The ‘Solaris’ Concept and Structure
The ‘Solar 3rd CONCERT: Solaris’ tour is built around an elaborate and immersive sci-fi concept set in the year 2142.
The central theme revolves around Solar and her fans embarking on a journey aboard the fictional spaceship ‘Solaris’.

The show is structured into four distinct chapters, each designed to highlight a different facet of Solar’s artistry and career:
- ‘Solar is the Empress’
- ‘Solar is the Imaginer’
- ‘Solar is the Story’
- ‘Solar is the One’
This thematic division allows Solar to present a diverse and well-curated setlist that connects her various musical identities within a cohesive storyline, enhancing the concert experience for the audience.
Performance Highlights and Audience Reaction
The Singapore stop proved to be an unforgettable night for the attendees, reflecting Solar’s reputation as a commanding vocalist and versatile performer. Her setlist was comprehensive, showcasing her entire career portfolio:
