TWICE's This Is For World Tour just set the record for the highest-selling US tour by any female Asian artist in history. The group sold 459,000 tickets across 30 US shows between January and April 2026, beating BLACKPINK's previous record by 65,000. Here's where they performed, how the numbers compare to BLACKPINK, and what this milestone means for TWICE's career.
TWICE This Is For Tour 2026 US Dates and Arenas
The US leg ran from January through April 2026, covering 30 arena shows. Stops included:
- Los Angeles, CA: Kia Forum
- New York, NY: UBS Arena
- Atlanta, GA: State Farm Arena
- Chicago, IL: United Center
The run also extended into Canada. Across all 35 North American shows, TWICE drew 550,000 fans, the all-time North American attendance record for a K-pop girl group.
The US total: 459,000 tickets.
BLACKPINK's Born Pink tour had held the record with 394,000 tickets across 17 US shows.
BLACKPINK averaged about 23,000 fans per US show on Born Pink, compared to TWICE's roughly 15,300. BLACKPINK played 17 US dates; TWICE played 30. The raw total US tickets record belongs to TWICE. The per-show average still belongs to BLACKPINK.
By the time the US run wrapped, TWICE had crossed $100 million in lifetime US ticket sales, joining BLACKPINK as the only female Asian acts to reach that mark in a single country outside Asia. The first 24 reported shows alone grossed $93.8 million with 671,888 tickets sold.
Why TWICE Made This Is For Their Most Ambitious Tour Yet
This Is For is TWICE's fourth worldwide concert tour, launched to support their fourth Korean studio album of the same name, released in 2025.
The production reflected the scale of the moment. The show was built around a 360-degree stage constructed with Moment Factory, a company known for designing large-scale concert experiences. The show director had previously worked on both Kendrick Lamar's and Usher's Super Bowl halftime show performances.
That level of design, combined with a catalog stretching back over a decade, is a big part of what filled 30 US arenas night after night.

TWICE's Tour History Before This Is For
This Is For is TWICE's fourth worldwide concert tour. The scope of this one is unlike anything they had done before.
The full This Is For World Tour ran from July 19, 2025 to July 12, 2026, covering 81 shows across multiple continents. It drew over 2 million total attendees worldwide, making it the first K-pop girl group tour to cross that number.
In Japan, TWICE became the first foreign artist ever to headline Japan's National Stadium, drawing 240,000 fans across 3 shows. Headlining a national stadium as a foreign act, for 3 consecutive nights, is something very few artists in any genre have done.
What This Record Means for TWICE's Career
TWICE now holds the US record for female Asian artists and the all-time North American record for K-pop girl groups. Both used to belong to BLACKPINK.
With the This Is For tour grossing over $200 million, TWICE joined BLACKPINK as the only two female groups ever to reach that number on a single tour.
They also set the record in Oceania, selling 50,000-plus tickets across Sydney and Melbourne, the best-selling K-pop arena tour that region has seen.
K-pop girl groups are rewriting what US live music records look like in 2026. (More: LE SSERAFIM at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Festival.) And TWICE isn't the only K-pop act breaking live milestones on the global stage this year. (More: Stray Kids' headline set at Rock in Rio.)
