K-Pop Superstars TWICE Announce WORLD TOUR Across North America and Europe

Published

on

TWICE are pushing boundaries once again, bringing ONCE closer than ever with an intimate new arena run. Today, the global K-Pop superstars announced their 2026 <THIS IS FOR> WORLD TOUR, spanning North America, Europe, and the UK. Kicking off Friday, January 9 in Vancouver, BC at Rogers Arena, the tour will hit major cities including Oakland, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago, Lisbon, Barcelona, and Paris before concluding Wednesday, June 3 at The O2 in London, UK. For the first time, TWICE will perform in-the-round on a 360-degree stage, transforming arenas into immersive spaces where fans can experience the show from every angle.

This new tour follows a series of historic milestones for TWICE. In 2024, they became the first female K-Pop group to headline both MLB and NFL stadiums, selling out Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium and New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium. They previously became the first female K-Pop group to headline a U.S. stadium with two sold-out nights at LA’s BMO Stadium in 2022 — a record that set the stage for their unprecedented <READY TO BE> stadium tour. This year, they also became the first female K-Pop group to headline Lollapalooza, where they drew one of the festival’s largest crowds. The <THIS IS FOR> WORLD TOUR arrives just one year after their record-breaking fifth world tour, <READY TO BE>, which drew 1.5 million fans across 51 shows in 27 cities worldwide.

Most recently, TWICE released their 4th full length album, THIS IS FOR, which debuted in the top 10 on the Billboard 200 chart, marking the group’s seventh consecutive entry on the chart. The girl group also contributed to the official soundtrack for Netflix’s hit film K-Pop Demon Hunters. Members JEONGYEON, JIHYO, and CHAEYOUNG recorded a special version of the original track “TAKEDOWN,” featured during the film’s powerful end sequence and accompanied by exclusive behind-the-scenes footage from the recording studio. Their rendition of the song went on to reach #58 on the Billboard Hot 100, while TWICE’s hit single “STRATEGY,” also included on the film’s soundtrack, achieved notable success on the Hot 100 as well. These accomplishments set the stage for TWICE’s highly anticipated 10th anniversary this October – a celebration of a decade of groundbreaking success, artistic evolution, and global impact.

TWICE first launched their <THIS IS FOR> WORLD TOUR with two sold-out shows in Seoul and are currently touring across Asia. Previously announced dates will bring the tour to Australia, Hong Kong, Bangkok, and more this fall, before heading to the U.S., Canada, Europe, and the UK in 2026. Members Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu will deliver their all-new production and a career-spanning setlist featuring hits like “The Feels,” “More & More,” “FANCY,” and “STRATEGY” to arenas worldwide.
