This past weekend, global K-Pop superstars TWICE kicked off the North America leg of their highly anticipated <THIS IS FOR> WORLD TOUR with two sold-out opening weekend performances at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, BC. They opened the show with “THIS IS FOR,”setting the tone for an electrifying set that included fan favorites like Strategy,” “MAKE ME GO,” “FANCY,” “The Feels,” and “YES or YES,” among others. They also performed “Likey,” a global fan favorite, with added significance in Vancouver as the filming location for the music video. The group also debuted a new addition to the setlist, performing the hit song “TAKEDOWN” from K-POP Demon Hunters

Spanning over 30 songs, the show debuted the group’s all-new in-the-round 360° stage design, delivering an immersive experience for the whole arena. Members Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu lit up the stage, giving ONCE an unforgettable first few nights of the tour.

The <THIS IS FOR> WORLD TOUR continues this week with back-to-back shows in Seattle, Oakland, Dallas, Washington, DC, Orlando, Boston, Chicago, and more. The North American run also includes four shows at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum and three nights at UBS Arena in Belmont Park, added due to overwhelming fan demand. Following the North American leg, TWICE will bring the tour to Taipei for three sold-out shows at Taipei Dome before once again setting records in Japan with three performances at Japan National Stadium (known as MUFG Stadium) in Tokyo, where the group will become the first international artist to have a stand-alone show at the venue. The milestone follows the group’s Ready To Be Tour, which concluded with historic, sold-out performances at Japan’s Nissan Stadium in July 2024, making TWICE the first K-Pop female group to headline the venue and drawing more than 140,000 fans across two nights. 

Following the Asia dates, the 2026 tour continues across Europe and the U.K., with stops in Lisbon, Barcelona, Paris, Berlin, and more, before concluding at The O2 in London on Thursday, June 4.

Last year, TWICE released their fourth full-length album, THIS IS FOR, which debuted in the Top 10 of the “Billboard 200,” marking the group’s seventh consecutive Top 10 entry. The group also contributed to the official soundtrack for Netflix’s most-watched film of all time, K-Pop Demon Hunters. Members Jeongyeon, Jihyo, and Chaeyoung recorded a special version of the original song “TAKEDOWN,” featured during the film’s closing sequence and accompanied by behind-the-scenes studio footage. The track reached No. 58 on the “Billboard Hot 10,” while TWICE’s hit single “Strategy”—also included on the soundtrack—reached No. 51. 

TWICE first launched the <THIS IS FOR> WORLD TOUR last fall with two sold-out shows in Seoul, followed by performances across Australia, Hong Kong, Bangkok, and more in late 2025. The 2025 dates included a remarkable sold-out show at Kaohsiung National Stadium with over 55,000 fans in attendance. Following their shows in Australia, the <THIS IS FOR> WORLD TOUR became the best-selling K-Pop tour ever in Oceania, marking a major milestone for the group. That same year, TWICE made history as the first K-Pop act to headline Lollapalooza Chicago, drawing one of the festival’s largest crowds, and as the first K-Pop girl group to perform at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, making their debut appearance in October.
