SINGAPORE — Malcolm Todd spent the first phase of his career becoming famous through phone screens.
Now Singapore fans are finally getting him in the room.
The American singer-songwriter behind Earrings, Sweet Boy, Roommates and Chest Pain (I Love) will make his Singapore concert debut on Nov. 30 at The Star Theatre, bringing his rapidly expanding Do That Again Tour to the city for one night only. The show starts at 8pm.
On its own, that is another concert announcement in an already packed Singapore live-music calendar.
But the timing makes this one different.
Todd is arriving while his career is accelerating almost in real time.
His latest album has already given him his first U.S. Billboard 200 Top 10, while a song released years earlier has suddenly become his biggest mainstream hit.
And by the time he walks onto The Star Theatre stage in November, he may be considerably bigger than he was when the show was announced.
The Singapore show is officially set for Nov. 30
Live Nation Singapore lists Malcolm Todd: Do That Again Tour for Monday, Nov. 30, at The Star Theatre at The Star Performing Arts Centre.
The show begins at 8pm.
The Star Theatre describes itself as Singapore’s first 5,000-seat performing arts theatre, although actual capacity for individual concerts can vary depending on production and seating configuration.
For Todd, it will be his first performance in Singapore, according to CNA Lifestyle.
That makes the date more than another stop on an established artist’s recurring Asian circuit.
Singapore is catching him during his first major international expansion as a headliner.
Singapore fans get three chances before the general sale
The most important information for fans is already confirmed.
The Malcolm Todd artist presale begins Sept. 21 at 10am Singapore time.
The Live Nation presale follows Sept. 22 at 10am.
And the general sale begins Sept. 23 at 10am.
As of Sept. 15, Live Nation Singapore has not announced standard ticket prices.
CNA likewise reported that ticket prices and the full seating plan were still unavailable when the show was announced.
That distinction is worth keeping clear because overseas resale listings should not be treated as evidence of what Singapore face-value tickets will cost.
Official Singapore pricing should come from Live Nation or Ticketmaster once released.
And there are three VIP options
Fans willing to pay for more than a seat will have three official VIP tiers.
The top Malcolm Todd Ultimate Experience includes a seated concert ticket, a meet-and-greet and individual photo with Todd, access to a pre-show Q&A and a one-song acoustic performance, VIP merchandise and other commemorative items.
The Malcolm Todd Acoustic Experience keeps the pre-show Q&A and acoustic performance but does not include the meet-and-greet and individual photo.
A simpler Malcolm Todd VIP Package includes a seated ticket, tour merchandise items and priority merchandise shopping where available.
VIP Nation notes that not every audience question submitted for the Q&A is guaranteed to be answered.
Prices for those packages had not been posted on the Singapore event page at the time of writing.
Singapore is right in the middle of a much bigger Asia run
The Singapore concert is part of a newly announced Asian leg that begins in late November.
Pollstar’s routing lists:
Nov. 23 — Taipei
Nov. 25 — Yokohama/Tokyo market
Nov. 27 — Manila
Nov. 30 — Singapore
Dec. 2 — Seoul
Dec. 6 — Bangkok
Dec. 9 — Kuala Lumpur
Dec. 12 — Jakarta.
Live Nation Asia independently lists the Taipei, Yokohama, Manila, Singapore, Seoul, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur dates.
After Asia, the tour expands again in 2027 with dates across Europe and the United Kingdom before moving to Australia in May.
That geographic expansion tells its own story.
Todd is transitioning from internet discovery and U.S. touring into something much closer to a genuinely global pop career.
If you only discovered him through ‘Earrings,’ you are not alone
The strangest part of Todd’s current rise is that one of his biggest songs is not actually new.
Earrings originally appeared on his 2024 Sweet Boy project.
It took off much later.
By the Billboard Hot 100 dated Sept. 12, 2026, the track was sitting at No. 21, after reaching a career-best No. 20.
On the Billboard Global 200, it was even bigger: No. 17 that week, with a peak of No. 12.
That makes Earrings a classic sleeper hit—a song that existed long before the broader public suddenly decided it belonged everywhere.
Billboard Canada also included it among TikTok Canada’s songs of summer 2026, highlighting how the years-old track found a dramatically larger audience long after its original release.
Todd is therefore arriving in Singapore at exactly the moment when casual listeners who know one viral song are beginning to discover the larger catalogue behind it.
And ‘Do That Again’ proved he has more than one viral record
For any artist who breaks through on TikTok, there is an obvious question:
Can the attention survive beyond the algorithm?
Todd now has a strong answer.
His second studio album, Do That Again, debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 in June, giving him his first U.S. Top 10 album.
Billboard reported that the project opened with 67,000 equivalent album units in the United States.
About 37,000 of those came from streaming-equivalent activity, representing 39.49 million official on-demand streams of the album’s tracks during its opening frame, while another 30,000 came from album sales.
That is a significantly stronger commercial result than merely having one song explode on social media.
Todd’s 2025 self-titled project had previously peaked at No. 49, while the Sweet Boy mixtape subsequently reached the Billboard 200 Top 40.
Do That Again represents a clear step upward.
The album arrived only in June
Released through Columbia Records on June 5, Do That Again mixes pop songwriting with alternative R&B, indie-rock and bedroom-pop textures. Sony described the record as Todd pushing classic pop structure through a contemporary R&B lens, while Rolling Stone awarded it four stars.
The 13-track record includes songs such as Breathe, I Saw Your Face, Obsessica, Gun To My Head, Lonely Song, Good Bye and the title track.
Rolling Stone’s review praised Todd’s ability to move between romance, insecurity and self-awareness rather than presenting himself as an untouchable pop celebrity.
That emotional awkwardness has become a major part of his appeal.
His music often sounds polished without pretending the person singing it has everything figured out.
Singapore fans could get considerably more than just the new album
Live Nation’s featured setlist from Todd’s Sept. 5 show in Austin offers a clue—though not a guarantee—of what a Singapore concert could eventually look like.
That show included tracks from Do That Again such as Jean Skirt, Breathe, Free.99, Difficult Love, X’s & O’s, Obsessica, Gun To My Head, Good Bye and the title track.
But Todd also played older favorites including Bleed, You Owe Me, Sweet Boy, Make Me a Better Man, Chest Pain (I Love), Earrings and Roommates.
The Austin encore finished with Do That Again and Roommates.
Setlists can change between continents and dates, so Singapore fans should not assume every one of those tracks will appear on Nov. 30.
But it shows that the tour is not structured simply as a start-to-finish performance of the latest album.
It reaches across the catalogue that built his audience.
Todd’s rise began much smaller than a 5,000-seat theatre
Only a few years ago, the idea of Todd headlining a venue such as The Star Theatre would have sounded wildly premature.
The Los Angeles singer began making music while still in school and taught himself guitar during the pandemic.
He released music from his bedroom and worked at Cold Stone Creamery while trying to make the career viable.
Instead of waiting for traditional discovery, Todd aggressively used TikTok.
Videos built around early songs such as Art House and Roommates accumulated more than a million views, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Less than a year after seriously pushing his music on the platform, he signed with Columbia Records in July 2023.
That sequence—bedroom songs, TikTok momentum, major-label deal—sounds familiar in the modern music business.
What distinguishes Todd is what happened afterward.
Opening for Omar Apollo helped turn internet attention into a live career
Todd spent part of 2024 supporting Omar Apollo on tour.
It was a fitting pairing.
In his early social-media promotion, Todd frequently positioned his music near artists such as Apollo and Steve Lacy to help listeners understand where his sound lived stylistically.
Within a relatively short period, he moved from citing those artists as reference points to sharing stages with them.
Now the touring equation has flipped again.
Todd is the headliner.
His current North American Do That Again Tour includes dates at venues such as Radio City Music Hall in New York, where he is booked for two nights in September.
The jump from opening slots to prominent headline venues is one of the clearest indicators that his online audience is translating into real-world ticket demand.
‘Chest Pain’ was the first major breakthrough—but it wasn’t the last
Before Earrings became his biggest current hit, Chest Pain (I Love) was the song that pushed Todd onto the Billboard Hot 100.
Billboard says the track became his first entry on the all-genre chart after first breaking through on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs ranking.
By 2026, however, his chart footprint had widened considerably.
Billboard reported four Todd songs reaching the Hot 100 during the year: Breathe, I Saw Your Face, Sweet Boy and Earrings.
That is important because it weakens the idea that Todd is simply the artist behind one TikTok phenomenon.
Different songs from different projects have now reached mainstream charts.
His Singapore audience may already be larger than casual observers realize
The Asian expansion is also not appearing out of nowhere.
Current streaming-chart aggregations show strong activity for Todd across countries including Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand and Malaysia, with Earrings and Sweet Boy particularly visible in the region. Such daily platform rankings fluctuate and should not be confused with official national record charts, but they help explain why an eight-city Asian tour now makes commercial sense.
Singapore is therefore not merely an extra geographical stop appended to an American tour.
It is part of a regional market where his songs already circulate heavily among younger streaming audiences.
There is also a family connection to another fast-rising songwriter
Todd is not the only musician in his family attracting attention.
His older sister is Audrey Hobert, who co-wrote material with Gracie Abrams before launching her own recording career.
The siblings have publicly supported each other rather than playing up rivalry; in 2026 they even covered each other’s music for Australian broadcaster Triple J’s Like A Version.
Todd’s father, Tim Hobert, also worked as a television writer and executive producer on the ABC sitcom The Middle.
That creative family background is part of his story.
But Todd’s own breakthrough was built largely through the very contemporary machinery of self-produced music, relentless online promotion, streaming discovery and social-media fandom.
What makes the Singapore date unusually well timed
Concert announcements often arrive after an artist’s biggest moment.
This one appears to be landing during it.
Do That Again has already become Todd’s first Top 10 U.S. album.
Earrings is currently inside the Top 25 of both the U.S. Hot 100 and Billboard Global 200, and its chart run is still active.
His North American headline tour is underway.
Asia starts in November.
Europe follows in February.
Australia comes next May.
That is the itinerary of an artist being scaled globally.
The Singapore concert therefore functions as something more interesting than a routine tour stop.
Fans here are getting Todd after the breakout but potentially before the arena phase.
That could make the unknown ticket price the detail fans watch most closely
At the moment, this is the major missing piece.
CNA says prices have not been announced, and Live Nation Singapore’s event page currently provides sale dates and VIP inclusions without listing face values.
Fans should therefore be cautious about treating prices on overseas resale marketplaces as a preview of Singapore pricing.
The official numbers will matter because Todd is now sitting in an unusual commercial position.
He is young enough in his headline career that some listeners still think of him as a rising indie-adjacent artist.
At the same time, he now has a No. 5 album, a Top 20 Hot 100 hit and an international tour stretching through 2027.
Those two versions of Malcolm Todd are colliding.
And ticket pricing may reveal which one promoters believe Singapore is buying.
There is one thing fans should not wait for: the general sale without a plan
Anyone determined to attend has three official opportunities.
Artist presale begins Monday, Sept. 21 at 10am.
Live Nation members get their turn Tuesday, Sept. 22 at 10am.
General sales open Wednesday, Sept. 23 at 10am.
VIP buyers will also have options ranging from merchandise perks to a full meet-and-greet and private photo with Todd.
No official source has said the Singapore date will sell out, so it would be speculative to claim that tickets will definitely disappear immediately.
But the combination of a one-night debut, an active global hit and a rapidly growing touring profile gives fans good reason to pay attention when sales open.
The biggest story isn’t that Malcolm Todd is coming to Singapore
It is when he is coming.
Three years ago, Todd was a young artist using TikTok to convince strangers to listen to songs made in his bedroom.
In 2024 he was opening for Omar Apollo.
In 2025 his first major album reached the Billboard 200.
This June, Do That Again entered the chart at No. 5.
And now Earrings—a song that had been sitting in his catalogue since 2024—is spending week after week inside the biggest singles charts in the world.
By Nov. 30, thousands of listeners will walk into The Star Theatre knowing different versions of him.
Some will be there for Roommates and Sweet Boy.
Some arrived through Chest Pain.
Some only discovered him because Earrings suddenly seemed unavoidable in 2026.
Others will know the newer, more polished Do That Again material.
For Todd, that may be exactly what makes his first Singapore show significant.
He is not arriving after a long-established career finally expanded into Southeast Asia.
He is arriving while that career is still exploding.
