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

Sammy Hagar Announces 2026 “Best Of All Worlds Tour” With Special Guest Rick Springfield
Following two years of overwhelming fan demand, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Sammy Hagar returns this summer with a special limited run of his acclaimed, top-grossing Best of All Worlds Tour. Hagar will be joined by rock heavyweights and longtime bandmates Michael Anthony (bass, backing vocals), Joe Satriani(guitar), and Kenny Aronoff (drums). The tour launches June 13, 2026 in St. Louis, Hagar’s musical home away from home, and concludes June 27, 2026, at MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Maryland. Produced by Live Nation, the tour features special guest Rick Springfield.
Tickets On Sale Friday, January 16 at 10am local and ARTIST/Red Rocker/CITI presales begin Tuesday, January 13th at 10am local. Visit RedRocker.com for more information.
“We’re celebrating the legacy of the music and bringing it to a whole new generation of fans,“ said Sammy Hagar.
The 2026 tour reunites Hagar with the Best of All Worlds Band, featuring fellow Hall of Famer and original Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony, 15-time GRAMMY® nominee and guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani, and powerhouse drummer Kenny Aronoff. In addition, Greg Phillinganes, one of the most respected and accomplished keyboard artists in the world, is set to perform with the band on the tour. Collectively, Anthony, Satriani, and Aronoff have played together in nearly every phase of Hagar’s career—including Van Halen, Chickenfoot, and The Circle—so fans can expect a refreshed 2026 setlist drawing from some of the biggest rock anthems of the last four decades with hits including, “Finish What Ya Started,” “5150,” “Your Love Is Driving Me Crazy,” “Poundcake,” “Sexy Little Thing,” “One Way to Rock,” “Right Now,” “Summer Nights,” “Eagles Fly,” “Love Walks In,” “Encore, Thank You, Goodnight,” and more.
The newly announced shows continue the momentum of Hagar’s top-grossing 2024 Best of All Worlds Tour, his 2025 hit Las Vegas residency which returns to Dolby Live in Las Vegas beginning in March, and a summer UK tour in July.
The Best of All Worlds tour received universal raves from fans who’d been waiting 20 years to experience it live again, and critics who universally praised it.
“Hagar, alongside Anthony, made it clear that the tour was not just a performance but a ‘celebration’ of Van Halen’s enduring legacy.” – USA Today
“The “Van Hagar” period of Sammy Hagar’s career is still on top of the world.” – Las Vegas Review-Journal
“Sammy Hagar sounded ageless… Joe Satriani did a great job of channeling Eddie Van Halen (and more). The phrase ‘guitar hero’ is obviously overused, but Satriani more than lives up to the title.” – Arizona Republic
“Hagar and Anthony’s bond was palpable on stage… The crowd turned out in full force to hear Van Halen-era songs like ‘Right Now,’ ‘Best of Both Worlds,’ and ‘Why Can’t This Be Love,’ alongside Hagar’s solo classics. Their performance proved that age is just a number when the music is this good.” – Charlotte Observer
Joining them on the tour is rock legend Rick Springfield, the Grammy Award–winning artist who’s setlist packs 10 U.S. Top 10 singles, including “Jessie’s Girl,” “Don’t Talk to Strangers,” “Love Somebody,” “Human Touch,” and “I’ve Done Everything for You,” written by Hagar. With more than 25 million records sold worldwide, Springfield remains one of the most enduring artists of his era. The tour reunites two longtime friends and collaborators whose connection spans more than four decades and extends beyond the music, with Hagar and Springfield also spirit partners in Beach Bar Rum.
