TWICE have kicked off a milestone year with a brand-new era and their most immersive concert production yet. The “This Is For” World Tour began with two sold-out nights at INSPIRE Arena in Incheon on July 19–20, 2025, launching the sixth world tour of their career and ushering in a sleek 360-degree stage concept that brings the group’s choreography and live band right to the center of the arena. Day two was livestreamed on Beyond LIVE, underscoring the global scale of ONCE fandom.
Why this tour matters
The tour supports TWICE’s fourth full-length album, This Is For (July 11, 2025), an upbeat, confidence-driven record marking nearly a decade since debut. The album’s anthemic title track and sun-splashed B-sides are built for arenas, and that’s exactly where they’re headed across Asia and Oceania through the end of the year.
A true 360° experience
JYP Entertainment designed “This Is For” around 360-degree seating so the members perform in the round, with catwalks and moving platforms that keep every section in play. The format debuted in Incheon and continues throughout the announced dates, amplifying sightlines, fan interactions, and the scale of group formations.
Opening night vibes: setlist & standout moments
From the curtain-raising “FOUR” intro into “THIS IS FOR,” “Strategy,” “MAKE ME GO,” and “I CAN’T STOP ME,” the show wastes no time blending the new era with legacy hits. Later segments thread “MOONLIGHT SUNRISE,” “FANCY,” “What Is Love?” and more, plus member solos and units—think Tzuyu’s “DIVE IN,” Nayeon’s “MEEEEEEE,” and Momo’s “MOVE LIKE THAT.” Expect minor tweaks city to city, but the arc—new bangers, deep-cut fan candy, and a confetti-kissed finale—stays intact.

Production you’ll actually notice
- In-the-round staging means more front-row moments everywhere; sightlines rotate as the members traverse multiple pods and lifts.
- Arena acoustics get a boost at venues like INSPIRE Arena, which was purpose-built for large-scale pop spectacles and features a high-end sound system for clear vocals and live band punch.
Tickets, VIP, and streams
Regional promoters—Ticketmaster (Singapore) and Live Nation (Australia, Philippines, Taiwan, Hong Kong/Macao)—are handling most sales locally. Premium packages often include soundcheck access, early entry, and exclusive merch; Manila’s VIP tiers are a good example. For ONCEs at home, Beyond LIVE streamed the Incheon day-two show, with a re-stream window announced.
The bottom line
“This Is For” is both a victory lap and a level-up—a precision-built arena show that honors TWICE’s roots while fully embracing their 2025 sound. If you’re catching the tour anywhere from Incheon to Bangkok, expect a night that blurs the line between performance and celebration, engineered so every seat feels close to the action.
