The queens of K-pop aren’t just conquering the globe; they’re changing history. The official announcement of ten new dates for TWICE’s worldwide ‘THIS IS FOR’ World Tour due to intense demand has left ONCE fans entirely overwhelmed. From a fourth stop in Los Angeles at the Kia Forum to a new Italian stopover in Turin, this expansion is an indication that TWICE is working at a level no girl group has ever reached before.

Added to that, there are second shows in Vancouver, Seattle, Dallas, Chicago, Austin, Paris, Amsterdam, and a third in Belmont Park, as well as the already unbelievable fourth night in Los Angeles, something no other K-pop girl group has ever accomplished. Italy also gets something new: a visit to Inalpi Arena in Turin on May 20th.
This follows last week’s series of sellouts, which has led TWICE to add seven more shows in Oakland, Washington D.C., Hamilton, Orlando, Boston, London, and Los Angeles. That’s 17 new shows across the U.S. and Europe, evidence that ONCE will stop at nothing to shell out money, miss work, and wait in line in the early hours for a glimpse at TWICE in person.

Heroes (New York), Heroes (Los Angeles), and Heroes (Bruxelles) will continue to turn LA and New York into TWICE’s second homes, while TWICE will break new ground with concerts for the first time in cities like Detroit, St. Paul, Denver, Boston, and Montreal, thanks to TWICE. For fans that have never had the chance to see a girl group of this magnitude up close and personal, it’s nothing less than revolutionary.
The 360 Degree TWICE Experience
On the other hand, TWICE is going all out and on a mission to bring back a new concept of stage design, using an in-the-round 360-degree turntable that allows fans to be on all sides of the arena. The setup not only guarantees a concert, but also an all-encompassing TWICE experience in which “FANCY,” “The Feels” and fresh anthems such as “STRATEGY” literally encircle you.
Setting the number of Records to the Left and Right
The group’s global dominance has been a non-stop victory dance:
- First K-pop girl group to headline NFL and MLB stadiums in 2024 (MetLife Stadium & SoFi Stadium)
- First all-female K-pop debut album to have a U.S. Stadium show in 2022 and sold out two nights at L.A.’s BMO Stadium.
- First female K-pop group to ever headline a show for Lollapalooza, where they drew one of the biggest crowds in the history of the festival.
And when you thought they would have a break, you are mistaken. Their READY TO BE World Tour wrapped up just last year, drawing in 1.5 million fans in 51 shows across 27 cities. Now, the group is at it again with an even larger spectacle.
New Music, New Film, New Era
Aside from the hits, the tour is the crown jewel of TWICE’s 10th anniversary. They have released their special album TEN: The Story Goes On with solo tracks from all its members in addition to the fan-favorite song “ME+YOU.” These live for the very first time on this tour.
This is a love letter to the ten years of success that made them one of the most unstoppable acts in the world.
And forget about them: their latest album, THIS IS FOR, rose to the Billboard 200 Top 10, while their soundtrack singles from K-Pop Demon Hunters took over the Billboard Hot 100, confirming that TWICE is as dominant on playlists as they are in arenas.
Ticket Info: Time to Move Fast
To the new dates: sales will begin on Friday, October 16, at 3 pm local time in North America.
Europe/UK: New dates will also go on sale on Thursday, October 16, at 10 am local time.
Given the first rounds sold out so quickly, ONCE must gear up for battle: multiple devices, a good Wi-Fi connection, and hope to the Ticketmaster gods.
