Pikachu EDM parties & Pokémon Parade on 7 & 8 November 2026

Get ready to dance! On 7 and 8 November, there’s lots of excitement taking place at Changi Airport and Jewel Changi; the Pokémon are making appearances! Over at the Terminal 3 Departure Hall, Pikachu is having dance parties on the “PokéXciting!” Stage, with high-energy EDM sessions and a Pikachu Dance Show for the little ones. Entry is free, but you’ll need to register onsite. For the dance show, the queue opens 30 minutes before it starts and wristbands are given out there on a first-come, first-served basis, so get in line early!

For the first time in Asia, all 27 first partner Pokémon from nine generations of the games are marching through Jewel’s Forest Valley. And yes, there’ll be two Pikachu too! Viewing is free, but spots are limited. Wristbands are handed out onsite two hours before each show, one per person, so get there early.
