How to Get Tickets to TWICE 5TH WORLD TOUR ‘READY TO BE’

• Copied to Clipboard

UPDATE 03.08.23:  Verified Fan registration has been extended to Sunday, March 19 at 7PM PT/9PM CT/10PM ET. The Verified Fan Onsale will take place on Wednesday, March 22 at 3PM local venue time.

New shows announced in north america.

TWICE has announced TWICE 5TH WORLD TOUR ‘READY TO BE’ and is leveraging Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan technology to ensure more tickets get into the hands of fans.

We expect heavy demand for these shows, so getting your Ticketmaster account verified through Verified Fan will be critical to increasing your chances of getting tickets.

Verified Fan helps artists get more of their tickets into the hands of fans who want to go to the show, not buyers looking to resell them. When an artist chooses to use Verified Fan, we use a registration system to help filter out buyers looking to resell tickets for profit. And while it doesn’t guarantee that all Verified Fans will get tickets, it does significantly block bots and professional resellers from competing against fans for tickets during the sale. Access to the Verified Fan sale does not guarantee tickets. Tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Read on for information about how to secure your tickets for the Verified Fan Onsale.

Navigate to each section of details via the links below:

Key Dates to Know How to Register Important Things to Know Shopping Tips Frequently Asked Questions

Info subject to change at any time.

Key Dates to Know

• Registration Opens: Tuesday, February 21st at 7AM PT / 9AM CT / 10AM ET
• Registration Closes:  Sunday, March 19 at 7PM PT / 9PM CT / 10PM ET
• Verified Fan Onsale Opens:  Wednesday, March 22 at 3PM local venue time.

How to Register for the Verified Fan Onsale

Note: The Tour Organizers will be making 100% of tickets for TWICE 5TH WORLD TOUR ‘READY TO BE’ available for purchase during the Verified Fan Onsale. Registering for the Verified Fan Onsale is your best chance at securing tickets.

If all tickets are purchased during the Verified Fan Onsale, there will not be a General Onsale.

Verified Fan Onsale

Here’s how the Verified Fan process works:

Step 1: Registration

To register for Verified Fan 

• Go to Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan Registration page here .
• Sign in using your Ticketmaster account; if you don’t have one, you can create one when you register. Be sure to register with the Ticketmaster account you wish to use on the day of the onsale.
• Tell us what show(s) you’re interested in and submit your registration by 7PM PT / 9PM CT / 10PM ET on Sunday, March 19 to be considered.

From there, we’ll send you an email to confirm your registration was successful and provide details about what to expect next.

Step 2: Verification Next, Ticketmaster vets your request by confirming it belongs to an individual – not a bot – and that it hasn’t been tied to irregular behaviors that could be a sign of a professional seller attempting to access the sale for purposes of reselling tickets. 

Step 3: Access Code or Waitlist When demand exceeds availability, a lottery-style process will determine which registered Verified Fans will receive a unique access code and which are put on the waitlist. You’ll receive an email the morning of the Verified Fan Onsale (once announced) letting you know which group you’re in.

• Access Code: If you receive an access code, it will be sent via text message. It is unique to your account, and will not work if anyone else enters it – do not try to sell or trade your code. 
• Waitlist: If tickets remain, we may text you an access code to join the ticket sale. The lottery-style process will be used to determine who gets off the waitlist. 

Access to the Verified Fan Onsale does not guarantee tickets. Tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. So if you get a code, be sure to join the sale promptly for the best chance to get tickets.

Other important notes:

The Verified Fan Onsale date and time will be announced at a later date. When the onsale day comes, the Waiting Room will open 30 minutes before the sale begins. You may only join the Waiting Room using the same Ticketmaster account that you registered with.

When the sale begins, fans in the Waiting Room will be assigned a spot in line. When it is your turn, you must enter your access code exactly as it appears to access tickets.

Important Things to Know

Only fans who have been verified and receive an access code will have the opportunity to purchase tickets via the Verified Fan onsale.

Receiving an access code means that you’ll have the opportunity to buy tickets; however, the ability to purchase tickets is determined by supply and demand, and is not guaranteed. Tickets are available on a first come, first served basis.

Ticket Limits

• Fans invited to the Verified Fan Onsale may purchase a maximum of four (4) tickets per access code.  Note that while you may purchase tickets for multiple shows using the same access code (i.e. 2 tickets for Show 1 and 2 tickets for Show 2), you cannot exceed four (4) tickets in total across the run of events.

Ticket Delivery

• 100% of tickets will be delivered as SafeTix mobile tickets. To learn more about SafeTix click here .
• Fans may easily transfer tickets between Ticketmaster accounts.
• However, to help keep more tickets in the hands of fans, ticket purchases will not be available to view or transfer to friends and family from your Ticketmaster account until a date to be determined after the onsale. 

Learn more about sending tickets to friends and family using Ticketmaster Ticket Transfer .

Shopping Tips

What device should i use to purchase tickets, can i sign in to the same ticketmaster account on multiple devices to shop, how many tabs can i have open at once.

You may only use multiple tabs on the same device when shopping for more than one show. As a reminder:

• If you’d like to shop for tickets to multiple shows, you will need to join the Waiting Room for each one.
• Please only join the Waiting Room once and only use one tab per show to reduce any delays.
• Once you join the Waiting Room, do not close your page.

Is it true only one device is allowed per WiFi network and others will be blocked?

Can a group of us share the same wifi at someone's house/school/etc, can i use public or shared wifi, can we use the same credit card across two accounts for tickets, can i give or share my verified fan access code with friends or family, why do i see tickets available to purchase on another site before the verified fan sale has even happened, frequently asked questions, when is the verified fan registration period, can i register more than once to increase my chances of being verified, if i edit my registration more than once, will i be disqualified, are international fans able to register for verified fan, will my registration for verified fan work on purchases for twice shows outside of the us, i signed up for the verified fan onsale using my name, but i will be using someone else’s credit card since i do not have one. will that be an issue if my ticketmaster account name does not match the name of the card, i received a registration confirmation email, does that mean i will get tickets, when will i receive an email letting me know if i'll receive a unique access code or be placed on the waitlist.

Reminder: Access to the Verified Fan Onsale does not guarantee tickets. Tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. So if you get a code, be sure to join the sale promptly at the time stated in your email for the best chance to get tickets. Please be aware that onsale start times will differ depending on the show you registered for, so make sure you make a note of the local time stated in your email.

When submitting my registration I received a six-digit authentication code from Ticketmaster. Can I use this code to purchase tickets during the Verified Fan sales?

Does registering mean i get a verified fan access code, does getting an access code mean i will get tickets, when is the onsale being held, whose id do i bring if i buy tickets on my ticketmaster account, but use my parent/guardian credit card to purchase a vip package.

About TWICE:  

Formed under K-pop powerhouse JYP Entertainment in 2015, TWICE – comprised of members Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, Tzuyu – is one of the best-selling K-pop girl groups of all time. Since their debut, the group has sold over 10 million albums, received nearly 6 billion streams on Spotify, performed on programs such as The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and GMA3, and has been nominated for two MTV Video Music Awards. In March 2023, they will be honored with the “Breakthrough Artist” award at the Billboard Women in Music Awards. 

The group first rose to prominence with their debut title song “Like OOH-AHH” and 2016 breakthrough single “CHEER UP,” which went on to top multiple Korean pop charts and won ‘Song of the Year’ at the Melon Music Awards and Mnet Asian Music Awards. From 2016 to 2019, the group releases a slew of mini albums and hit singles, as well as their first full-length album, Twicetagram, and successfully completed their first world tour, TWICELIGHTS. In 2020, TWICE made their first ranking on the Artist 100 and Billboard 200 lists with their mini album MORE & MORE, and their second full-length album, Eyes wide open, debuted at #8 on Billboard’s World Albums chart. 

The momentum continued through 2021 where they kicked off the year with a performance on TIME100 Talks followed by their first U.S. broadcast debut on The Kelly Clarkson Show. That June, they released their 10th mini album, Taste of Love, and followed this up with the release of their first full English-language single, “The Feels,” which earned the group their first career entry on The Billboard Hot 100 (#83) and multiple top 10 placements across various charts. TWICE closed out the year with the release of their third full-length album Formula of Love: O+T=<3, which hit #3 on the Billboard 200 and stayed on the chart for eight consecutive weeks. 

Last year, TWICE completed their sold-out 4TH WORLD TOUR Ⅲ arena tour and back-to-back, sold-out encore performances at Los Angeles’ Banc of California Stadium. These performances were a major milestone for the group, as made TWICE the first female K-Pop group to sell out two North American arena tours, as well as the first female K-Pop group to play a North American stadium. In August, they released their 11th EP, BETWEEN 1&2, which entered the Billboard 200 Album Chart at #3 and holds the biggest pure sales week for an album by a female K-Pop act in the US, further extending TWICE’s record for the most top 10 debuts on the chart among all K-Pop female acts. BETWEEN 1&2’s lead single “Talk that Talk” reached the top 20 on Billboard’s Global 200 chart, and top 10 on Billboard’s Global Excl. US chart, tying with “The Feels” as their highest charting single on the latter chart. They ended the year as the most-stream female K-Pop group on Spotify. 

Most recently, TWICE released their second full English-language single, “MOONLIGHT SUNRISE” off their forthcoming EP READY TO BE. The track debuted at #84 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned TWICE career high-placements on Billboard’s Digital Song Sales chart (#3) and both Spotify’s US Chart (#39) and Global Chart (#60).

Get to know Ticketmaster’s Smart Queue!

We expect that tickets to TWICE will be in high demand, and to make the process fair for everyone you may be placed in a queue.

You will be assigned a random place in the queue once the Presale starts. Your place in the queue is not based on what time you entered the Waiting Room. We suggest entering the Waiting Room 15-30 minutes prior to the start of the Presale.

Once you get your spot in the queue, please do not refresh your browser as you will be pushed to the end of the line.

We will get you through the queue as quickly as possible, so please sit tight

All tickets purchased through Ticketmaster are now digital (with the exception of Collector Tickets), meaning you can easily access your tickets on your phone via the Ticketmaster app or mobile web browser via Ticketmaster.com.au, add them straight to your phone’s ticket wallet, and share them with your friends and family.

Hints and tips for improving your chances of getting TWICE tickets

Make sure you have a my ticketmaster account.

Get the basics covered before tickets go on sale by logging in and checking your Ticketmaster account ahead of time. If you don’t have a Ticketmaster Account then make sure you sign up in advance –  Ticketmaster.com.au .

Sign into your My Ticketmaster account ahead of time

Remember to triple check your passwords, account information, and billing information are all filled in correctly in advance, that way you’re not facing any last-minute account updates when trying to process your order.

Keep your options open with ‘Best Available’

Save time by searching “Best Available,” which scans all sections fast – it’s quicker than searching sections one at a time.

Keep an eye on the clock

There will be a time limit applied to all transactions as you are progressed through the ticket purchasing stages. Remember to keep an eye on the timer on your screen and move through the processing pages as quickly as possible (this is even easier when you’ve completed the account set-up stage we mentioned above).

Don’t refresh your screen

Stick to one window while you’re in the  Waiting Room  and when you’re being pushed through  the Smart Queue  and always resist the urge to refresh.

Hitting the refresh button means you’ll lose your place in the queue and, as frustrating as it can get, patience is the only way to win this game. Ticketmaster is equipped with sophisticated systems that are designed to manage and process ticket purchases as quickly as possible. The queuing system that appears on your screen will place you at the front of the line as soon as possible.

Remember: there are a lot of fans

We’re expecting this to be a very popular event. When a popular event goes on sale there are hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of customers all attempting to purchase tickets at the same time. Tickets are sold as long as seats are available, and when an act is this popular, sometimes they go very quickly.

Be sure to follow the above tips to ensure you have the best chance of snapping up some tickets.

TWICE 5th WORLD TOUR ‘READY TO BE’

View and download our full TWICE event guide by clicking here !

ONCE, ready for more TWICE? 2nd SHOW added at United Center on June 29!

The 5TH WORLD TOUR ‘READY TO BE’’ promises to bring their signature high energy performance and a robust setlist of their chart-topping hits. TWICE’s 12th mini album, “READY TO BE,” was released on March 10.

Last year, TWICE completed their sold-out 4TH WORLD TOUR Ⅲ arena tour. These performances were a major milestone for the group, as made TWICE the first female K-Pop group to sell out two North American arena tours, as well as the first female K-Pop group to play a North American stadium. In August, they released their 11th EP, BETWEEN 1&2, which entered the Billboard 200 Album Chart at #3 and holds the biggest pure sales week for an album by a female K-Pop act in the US, further extending TWICE’s record for the most top 10 debuts on the chart among all K-Pop female acts. BETWEEN 1&2’s lead single “Talk that Talk” reached the top 20 on Billboard’s Global 200 chart, and top 10 on Billboard’s Global Excl. US chart, tying with “The Feels” as their highest charting single on the latter chart. They ended the year as the most-stream female K-Pop group on Spotify.

Most recently, TWICE released their second full English-language single, “MOONLIGHT SUNRISE” off their EP READY TO BE. The track debuted at #84 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned TWICE career high-placements on Billboard’s Digital Song Sales chart (#3) and both Spotify’s US Chart (#39) and Global Chart (#60).

Rideshare/UberZone

UBER ZONE FAQs:

What is the Uber Zone (Lot E) at the United Center? To increase and streamline the fan experience for guests who take Uber to and from the United Center, the new Uber Zone is located at the corner of Madison Street and Wood Street (Lot E) and will combine the three former Uber locations around the arena. Traffic leading to the three prior Uber pickup locations 1) Zone A, previously located on Wood Street & Washington Blvd. near Lot A, 2) Zone D, previously located on Monroe Street & S. Paulina Street near Lot D and 3) Zone F, previously located on Monroe Street & Seeley Ave. near Lot F will now be directed towards the one new Uber Zone in Lot E.

What is the location of the Uber Zone? The new Uber Zone at the United Center is located on the corner of Madison Street and Wood Street. Fans will enter and exit through the sidewalk entrance located on Madison Street and cars will enter the lot by turning into the Uber Zone from Madison Street. Cars will exit on Warren Blvd.

What are the hours of operation? On event days, the Uber Zone is open two hours prior to games, concerts and events and will remain open up to one hour after each event. On non-event days, the Uber Zone will be closed and Uber rides will be dropped off near the corner of Madison Street and Wood Street outside of the Uber Zone.

What is the pickup process for fans?

• Using the Uber app, fans inside the United Center will call an Uber ride.
• Guests will then head to the new Uber Zone located at the corner of Madison Street and Wood Street in front of the United Center.
• When arriving, fans will show the Uber attendant the lane number their driver is in.

Twice fans, this is your year.

In fact, you may even be able to see the K-Pop girl group live more than, um, twice this year when they tour the world as part of their fifth World Tour “Ready To Be.”

After international dates in South Korea, Australia and Japan, the nine-member outfit lands in the U.S. for nine shows at stadiums, arenas and ballparks from June 10 through July 9 .

And listen up, New Yorkers and New Jerseyans — the hitmakers are stopping into East Rutherford’s MetLife Stadium for a huge concert on July 6.

That will be a historic show too. The July 6 gig will be the the first time a K-pop girl group has ever headlined at the Giants’ and Jets’ home stadium.

Best of all, if you want to see Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung and Tzuyu live this year, you can grab tickets as early as today .

Although the registration for Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan On Sale Access goes until March 8, fans who want to ensure they have tickets ahead of time can purchase on sites like Vivid Seats before they’re officially on sale.

Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event.

The 1st World Tour ‘Show What I Have’

TWICE Are Still Reaching New Heights — and They’re Doing It Together

By Lai Frances

Photography by Jingyu Lin

For a decade , the world has watched K-pop girl group TWICE dominate the music industry. Nine voices making beautiful harmonies, nine dancers executing choreography without missing a step, nine expertly coordinated outfits that tell a story of a song or a moment.

Year after year, this seemingly impossible cohesion has helped make TWICE the smash success the group is today, topping charts, selling out stadiums, traversing genres, aesthetics, and sounds. But for Nayeon , Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo , Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu it has always been more about their history, their personalities, and how they interact with one another as individuals, pairs, units, and, of course, as a whole.

TWICE debuted on October 20, 2015, with the single “Like Ooh-Ahh,” after each member had earned a spot in the group via the music competition-survival show, Sixteen. The following year, when the group released “Cheer Up,” TWICE earned its first music-show win ( new music competes on weekly TRL -esque live shows that consider fan votes, digital and physical sales, and streams), also winning the attention and hearts of the general public.

The members of TWICE were all teens when they debuted, living together under one roof, sharing rooms, and parts of their personal lives too. The six eldest members watched maknaes (youngest members) Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu graduate high school, and some members got their own driver's license along the way.

Dahyun remembers going to support Jihyo’s solo performance on Inkigayo last year, and how different it felt to watch one performer instead of nine. (In K-pop, it's more common to have individual members release solo music without leaving the group, as artists tend to do in Western groups.) “Just seeing her fulfilling everything when nine people usually split up each role and responsibility…” Dahyun recalls. “She was taking it all in herself, and it felt really emotional watching that.”

Together, though, the members form a leading girl group in third-generation K-pop , alongside BLACKPINK and Red Velvet, and have become known colloquially as “the Nation’s Girl Group,” a title that has historically referred to the legendary second-gen act Girls Generation (SNSD) and groups that are long beloved in South Korea and also have massive impact abroad.

TWICE's popularity in South Korea led to a Japanese debut that increased its status as a leading global group. TWICE became the first foreign act to perform and sell out three nights at the iconic Tokyo Dome, while also being the first K-pop girl group to do a dome tour.

As the global demand for K-pop has grown immensely over the past decade, so has TWICE’s fanbase. The group sold out arenas around the world during their Twicelights Tour in 2019, and again on the subsequent III Tour and Ready to Be Tour, in 2022 and 2023, respectively.

In 2021, amid the group's growing popularity, TWICE released its first US single, “The Feels.” It became the group's first Billboard Hot 100 hit. TWICE has since amassed more Top 10 debuts on the Billboard 200 chart than any other female K-pop act, according to JYP Entertainment.

The group is now setting the stage for its biggest year yet, and is at the forefront of a girl group renaissance, lifting up other acts as they ascend to new heights. “We’re very thankful,” Jeongyeon tells Teen Vogue . “It feels like, Wow. We grew up really well. It’s like a full-circle moment, and it’s fulfilling.”

Jeongyeon, dressed in a beige, loose-fitting denim jacket and a shredded chiffon dress, is the first of the members to face the camera during the group's Teen Vogue cover shoot. “I was really nervous when I got here,” says the 27-year-old Suwon, South Korea, native, resembling a real-life version of the nervous-smile emoji that has a drop of sweat on its head. Still, Jeongyeon knows her angles and can work the camera while maintaining a sense of play. She’s the prankster of the group. “I really love the members,” she says with a giggle. “I like to bring a happy atmosphere whenever I can.”

On the other side of the studio, 27-year-old Sana, of Osaka, Japan, isn’t feeling nerves as much as excitement. She is known for her playful, Betty Boop-loving, “ cutie-sexy” image, but on set, she’s focused and ready to adapt. “There’s not a lot of opportunities to do a photo shoot in America. The feeling of it all is really new,” she says, looking like a queen in an ivory-colored Prada dress. “I feel that the promotions in the US are quite fun because the feelings of it are very different.”

Mina, 27, born in San Antonio and raised in Kobe, Japan, is also focused, but not so much on the shoot happening around her — it’s not her turn in front of the camera yet. “This is what I’m playing,” she says, turning her phone so I can see the Candy Crush-like game in which she’s engrossed. For Mina, this is the epitome of an “if you know, you know” moment. She maintains perfect posture, looking graceful in a pastel green dress, laser-focused on her phone, aiming to beat the next level in the moving-puzzle game.

Mina's glamorous high-fashion look at this moment, however, isn’t really her personal style, she says, which is more a mix of streetwear and feminine silhouettes. Often praised for her posh looks, Mina is among the TWICE members considered to be a fashion icon. Upon hearing this, she says with a light laugh and smiling eyes, “It’s far away, but I’m working on it!”

Momo, 27, who grew up in Kyoto, Japan, also prefers a more comfortable look than her glam one for the shoot. In the past, she was one to shy away from the mic, preferring to show off onstage with her choreography. But that has changed over the course of TWICE’s time as a group: She’s now more active and bold in showing off her talents outside of dancing.

“Actually, Momo recently became ‘mother’!” Jihyo later tells me, because she’s served looks, written songs, posed for the cover of various Japanese magazines, and become an ambassador for fashion and beauty brands.

Tzuyu, a 24-year-old from Tainan, Taiwan, is the maknae of the nine and also known to be one of the quieter group members, next to Mina. According to her group mates, though, she is also one of the funniest, unintentionally. “I do feel that I kind of have that side to me,” she says with a chuckle, before confidently adding: “I’m quiet because of my birth sign [Gemini], but when I come out, I’m funny. ”

Or maybe it’s the charm of being the baby of the group. Tzuyu left home at 13, so the other members became the big sisters who raised her. Until now, they have spoiled and teased her as any siblings would, eventually getting her “maknae on top” moments when she can make her funny, blunt remarks but still be coddled at the end of the day. “Just receiving the love from the others makes me feel like, even if I get old, I will always be the maknae. Even in my 40s, I’ll be the maknae.”

Behind Tzuyu is Chaeyoung, 25, from Seoul, South Korea, who has a strip of blonde flowing through her black hair. She is known to create music from a place of wisdom and confidence, and also has a penchant for tattoos.

Despite her flashy style, of all the solo stages on TWICE's tour, Chaeyoung's is perhaps the simplest, featuring only a chair, a mic stand (with a stuffed toy attached), and the performer herself singing an unreleased song. “I’ve always wanted to write a song [for myself],” she says. “But this time around, I actually really liked it personally. I’m not sure about genre, but I want to find a style that I would be really good at. And I want to get better at playing the guitar too.”

It’s nearly dinner time as 28-year-old Seoul native Nayeon stunts in a magenta ribbon-inspired dress reminiscent of her “Pop!” era : “It’s fancy,” she says. She feels “fulfilled” at the moment knowing all went well. Referencing that solo hit, TWICE’s eldest recalls performing the song on tour. “Playing the song in such a big stadium was so exciting,” she recalls with a slight smile. “And the fans singing along was really nice.”

“Preppy” and “proper” are two words that could best describe 25-year-old Dahyun, raised in Seongnam, South Korea. She’s an observer, and reserved when it comes to professional settings like these. When you put her on the stage in front of her fans, however, or get her alone with the other TWICE members, she’s a walking meme.

Dahyun has three sides to her: “Cute, sexy, and free,” she says. The word “dubu,” or tofu in Korean, is one of Dahyun’s nicknames; in 2018, fans mashed it with the word "ahjusshi," or a Korean old man, to make “Dubjusshi,” one of Dahyun's “free" sides. The fan favorite viral moment came when she was caught roaming the streets of Chile in yellow plaid pajamas, red slides, an oversize black tee, a baseball cap, and shades, topped by a towel wrapped around her neck.

Regardless of the side she chooses to bring out, Dahyun’s mysterious presence offers a sense of calm and comfort. “I haven't thought about how I do it,” she says. “But if you see me that way, I really appreciate it! I want to become such a warm person, not just as shown, but in reality as well.”

Last but not least, there’s 27-year-old Jihyo, the group's leader from Guri, South Korea, who changes into slides before she approaches the table to get more comfortable. “Actually, when I do shoots with the members, I don’t really go for the outfit that’s on the feminine side,” she says. “But right now, the color, the style leans more towards the feminine side, so it’s quite new to me.”

With her solo music, Jihyo has been focused on staying true to the sense of self she’s found over time. “The main goal that I had regarding songs, or even when going on variety shows, was that I wanted to show my true self to everyone,” she told Teen Vogue last year.

When the members gather for a shot of them all together, they’re wearing a mix of suits and dresses, posing against a spring-like background. It’s only appropriate, as the girls themselves are blooming into women, and the group into a global force in pop music.

“We’re really thankful [that we have] nine members,” Jihyo says. “For one person, one member can be their favorite and they might not like the rest, but because we push our team of nine together, the team vibes are really good. We’re really thankful because of that. And because of that, we actually get a lot closer.”

Outside of the nine, Nayeon, Jeongyeon, and Jihyo are known as 3Mix, a name inspired by a rumored JYP girl group called 6MIX that would include the three of them (and member Sana). Momo, Sana, and Mina, later known as MiSaMo, are bonded as the Japanese members of the group. (Fun fact: Momo and Sana passed the same JYP auditions, boarded the same flight to South Korea, joined the label on the same day, and moved into the dorms on the same day. After Momo was eliminated during Sixteen, Sana expressed that she wouldn’t be able to debut without her friend. Honestly, if that isn’t a sign of fated soulmates, what is?) And Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu are best known as the group’s School Meal Club, as they were the youngest members, who also still went to school.

As the years have passed, some of the members found places of their own as part of a new chapter in adult life, and some are paying their blessings forward, giving back to their loved ones and communities. Every chapter, every win, record broken, or achievement made as a group is reflected in their personal journeys.

A day after the photo shoot, I meet the group for lunch at their US publicist’s office near New York's Times Square. A spread of Prince Street pies, bucket combos of Jollibee fried chicken, and a tray of homemade turon (a Filipino snack made of brown sugar and banana wrapped in spring rolls) is laid out in a conference room, welcoming the group. Chatter and laughter fill the space. Jihyo is already distributing plates (leader energy) around the table, immediately rewarding herself with a drumstick from the bucket. It feels like watching a live variety show mukbang featuring a close-knit group of friends enjoying a nice meal.

The conference room feast celebrates the last couple of days of prepping for WITH YOU-th , with every moment leading to the final (and only) US show, a couple of weeks away. For the next two hours, this is TWICE’s “healing time,” when the nine women can sit back, relax, and be themselves. “It’s yaja time,” I say, calling on the group to speak freely or casually, whatever makes the members feel comfortable. “Yah!” Jihyo responds, playing along, chuckling with her mouth half full.

This nine-member ensemble has taken its Ready to Be Tour around the world, selling out arenas, domes, and stadiums in Asia, Europe, and North and South America. In a rare move, and switching up the K-pop concert gears, TWICE brought along JYP Entertainment’s newest girl group, VCHA, to open for them on select dates in Las Vegas, São Paulo, and Mexico City.

“Seeing their stage was really fun!” says Nayeon as she picks at her plate of food. Other members nod in agreement. “They actually watched our stage until the very end for all the concerts, and it was really moving for them. We felt they had a lot of learning points just from seeing their performances too,” she adds, referring to how they’ve grown as they’ve gotten more experience onstage.

The foundation of VCHA, which was formed through the reality show A2K , isn’t that much different from TWICE’s Sixteen aspect. The most wholesome part of this is that VCHA members Savanna and Camila have expressed in past interviews that TWICE is the reason they became idols.

Chaeyoung mouths “Oh!” in silent surprise. Jeongyeon shares that sentiment as the group members look up from their plates to acknowledge the reason their hoobae, or juniors, in the industry have joined the extended K-pop universe. Jihyo says “Daebak!" (meaning “Wow!”) as she covers her mouth. “I really didn’t know that,” Jeongyeon adds.

Perhaps it’s weird for them to take a meta look at their own impact, but the group's success is highly visible and ever-growing. TWICE has multiple brand deals across Asia. The members attend fashion weeks around the world amid sold-out world tours. They even have a dance-practice room named after them in the new JYP building in Seoul. They’re still trying to process it all. “We’re cool?” Chaeyoung questions jokingly.

On the group's newest single, “One Spark,” the members sing about being in their golden days. In reality, though, they’re in their golden era. They are still writing history and upholding their title as a top global act, simultaneously promoting in South Korea, Japan, and the US. (“We never really chose one place where we want to be an artist where we can meet our fans,” Jihyo says. “Of course, situation-wise for different countries, it may feel kind of sad since some opportunities come up in other countries and some don’t, but we’re really trying to find a good balance in between all of this.”)

Groups like VCHA, NiziU, and the rumored future Latin girl group from JYP are prime examples of TWICE’s ongoing legacy. Especially in an era when girl groups are having their rightful renaissance, they are “mother,” as Jihyo notes, using the term again.

It can be a heavy thing to carry sometimes. “That’s quite pressuring,” Jeongyeon says after hearing the meaning behind it.

“We (as TWICE) had a dream of becoming an artist while looking at other artists once,” Momo explains. “It’s just really cool that these younger people have the same dream looking at us as well. It’s just fascinating, and we’re very thankful because of that.”

Getting to the top was no easy feat. Being under one of the biggest Korean entertainment labels was an advantage, but there was still pressure to carry the company’s title as the representative girl group of their generation. That pressure affected individual members’ physical and mental health, and TWICE became one of the first groups to speak openly about prioritizing mental health, specifically.

In 2019, Mina went on a six-month hiatus due to anxiety. Her story, along with the other members, became the sole inspiration behind the group's hit single, “Feel Special,” which highlighted their personal concerns and worries. In the ensuing two years, member Jeongyeon went on two hiatuses due to health concerns about her neck and “panic and psychological anxiety.” It was a clear missive for fans to not just push through pain, but to rest and heal, even if it means taking a break from various responsibilities. TWICE helped normalize discussions of mental health in K-pop, where it was considered especially taboo.

"I was scared at first, and I contemplated whether or not I should even publicize my state," Mina said in a 2020 Teen Vogue interview . "But I’m a human being. I have a heart. That’s why I suffered. What really helped were the other members."

In that same 2020 interview, Jihyo added, "I'm realizing that health isn't just about bodily health. Our mental states are intimately tied to our physical health."

Nayeon says that it took her years to be herself in front of the camera, and Jeongyeon adds that it took time to build stamina in this career. The first couple years as a K-pop idol are extremely busy and stressful; the performers are under pressure to establish a name for themselves and prove they can stand out in a crowded industry. And, of course, there was limited time to relax. It only got harder as the group's fame skyrocketed. After they topped the charts and won that first music show award, in 2016, with the second single “Cheer Up,” everything shifted again.

“During our debut era, it was really busy,” Sana recalls. “When people ask, ‘Are you tired?’ we’ll say, ‘Oh no, we’re not tired.’ ‘Are you busy?’ ‘Oh, we’re not busy.’ Now I express myself better when I'm tired. When I look back on it, I think, Did I really have to say the opposite of what I was feeling all these years?” She remembers being asked questions in interviews about what she liked or disliked, and struggling to answer. “I realized, I should know those kinds of things [about myself],” she concludes.

“We’re completely different [from our idol selves],” Nayeon continues. “Idols do have to use a lot of energy, and there is kind of a limit to how much a person can use their energy. We push all of that [away] while being an idol.”

“During concerts, I give my all,” says Momo. “But when I come back down the stage, I [take it easy] and relax right after.”

“Whenever we do pre-recordings and greet fans, I actually go home and take a rest in the middle of it all,” Jeongyeon says. “But once I’m done for the day, dancing and showing my charms, I just go back to doing laundry and cleaning. So [I found] a balance between those two.” She’s also learned that she has been hard on herself in the past: “I’m trying to be more generous to myself. Although that’s not always working, I’m trying really hard.”

Some of TWICE’s youngest members have found different ways to unplug from idoldom: Chaeyoung picked up a PS5 to play Minecraft, Tzuyu got into Gyrotonic, while Mina continues to uphold her nerdy off-duty image as the proud Marvel-loving, Lego-building gamer. (“I’ve watched all of it,” Mina says proudly after professing her love for Marvel and Iron Man.)

While they may be sunbaes, or seniors, in the industry, TWICE is a group that many new and upcoming acts aspire to be like — and do TikTok challenges with. “You know you have a new nickname, right?” I say, turning to Jihyo, who nods curiously. “Park TikTok.” She claps and points in acknowledgment, embodying the IJBOL expression well, causing the whole room to giggle.

But Jihyo’s latest moniker isn’t just a name she received for taking on random dance challenges with fellow group members and other artists; she’s putting in the work to make sure TWICE is up to date and can communicate well with younger peers. “It’s kind of my homework these days," she says, "just looking at what’s popping up and what’s popular.”

“All of them are doing so well now,” Nayeon says, praising this generation’s roster of acts. “But we feel like we’re learning at this point too. Take care of your health. Stay healthy and stay happy! Have your own individual time.”

“I feel they should utilize that free time better,” Jihyo advises. “I realize a lot of [young and newer artists] find me difficult to interact with,” she adds, noting that she’s now in the power position. “I kind of felt sad about this for myself with the group. It doesn’t feel like it’s been a long time that I’ve been doing this career. But now I can see the difference of how many years I have worked compared to the new artists coming in. And, for me, it’s okay to speak casually, but then they keep on bowing and are all, like, strict and stuff. Even when I did my solo stuff, I felt that as well. It’s like, ‘Oh, I actually do have quite a few years on my career now.’”

The members of TWICE have gotten used to criticism and judgment, first from label heads and professionals on Sixteen, later from fans and anti-fans. Before the decoration, celebration, and praise of today, there were bad days, stressful times, and the hardships that shaped them.

Nayeon says she doesn’t have many regrets: “There was a reason why certain things happen during certain times.”

“What I actually regret is that I felt I had a lack of understanding of what this career entailed,” Jihyo says. “After kind of accepting that, now I know how to utilize my personal time to differentiate it from when I’m working.”

After a second of silence, Nayeon blurts out, “Bleaching my hair too much!,” apparently recalling a regret, which opens a can of worms for the rest of the group.

There are a couple nods and a “Ah! 맞아!" (meaning “Right!”) from around the room, especially from Chaeyoung. Sana buries her head in her hands and murmurs, “Definitely the pigtails I wore during the ‘Cheer Up’ showcase.” Mina makes air pigtails on her head.

Momo, a former fiend for jokbal, a savory dish of Korean pig trotters, regrets going on a variety show where she danced to “Like Ooh-Ahh” with a whole jokbal in her hand. “That was such a miss for me,” she says. Jihyo picks up, “Because that was Momo’s favorite food, she received so many gifts with jokbal.” Says Nayeon, cracking up, “I’ve never seen Momo order or even eat jokbal anymore after that [era].”

Now the members are feeling nostalgic. “I wish we [could] go on variety shows all together again,” says Nayeon. “During our debut period, we got on a lot of programs, but we don’t go on much now, and we’re kind of missing it.”

Times have changed, though, and TWICE, alongside many groups, has begun creating its own variety shows. The group, and Jeongyeon specifically, wants to produce its own variety show. “It’s actually a really funny idea,” she pitches everyone in the room. “Jihyo would call her friend to do an interview, but then the emcee would be Momo.”

“Call it Talk That Talk ,” Dahyun responds, followed by sounds and nods of approval from the other group members for referencing their 2022 title track.

In that moment it’s evident how much they cherish their past, present, and future. They may have learned how to better protect their time and grown a lot as individual people and as a group, but some things never change. They still assemble like the Avengers whenever together. “The Power of 9,” as ONCE, their fans, call them. The members of TWICE are grounded, humble, and endlessly grateful to those who support them, no matter the era or distance.

“Because of this work, I do receive a lot, as much as I put in,” Jihyo says. “And while living as a person, it’s not easy to receive all this type of love. Because of this career, we’ve been able to receive lots of love. Without this career, would I have been able to go on a plane [even] once? But because of this, I go on planes very often.” The group nods, listening as their leader shares what they all were thinking.

“So, what’s next?” My question is vague, but the members share their personal bucket list wishes. Nayeon wants to be a better driver, as it has been five years since she received her license; Chaeyoung wants to work on more songs; Mina wants to visit Milan, for a concert or fashion show; Momo wants to do some solo traveling; Tzuyu wants to travel to countries she hasn’t been to before and perform there, to which Dahyun agrees, adding that she wants to continue to be healthy and happy. Oh, and they’re all interested in pursuing acting down the line.

But in terms of what’s next on the group's 2024 agenda after their Las Vegas show, another solo is in the works, following Nayeon and Jihyo’s. But who, exactly? TWICE is known as the group that spoils fans and followers with upcoming new releases, but it's time for them to have a taste of their own medicine and let me be the one to do the spoiling.

I turn to Nayeon and congratulate her. “How does it feel to be back?” I ask. The group gasps in shock, like they’ve been fooled. The sounds of “Ah!” and “뭐야!” from all nine women fill the room.

A nice, playful scolding from TWICE’s leader follows. “Why’d you do that?” Jihyo says, taking a sip of her Pineapple Quencher. “We were trying to hide it from you!”

Members are still shaking their heads, laughing.

“Well, I'm really excited and thrilled,” Nayeon says. “I tried a whole new concept for this album, and it was so much fun working on it…. Unlike the lovely mood presented in ‘Pop!,’ I wanted a more honest and mature side. You'll be able to see a more powerful side of me.”

After the release of TWICE’s single “I Got You,” which peaked at No. 38 on the Billboard Global 200, earlier this month, fans were quick to create theories that Jeongyeon would be the next soloist based on her signature neon green color in the title track’s font in the ending credits. “I didn’t even think about that!” Jeongyeon says, laughing, “'Cause I thought ‘I Got You’ and the music video carries a natural theme. I think that’s why we used the green color, and I didn’t think any intention was in it. I don’t have any plans for now. I hope my fans are not too excited and [don’t] anticipate too much.”

Jeongyeon shares this with the group, and the members are impressed that fans would go to that length. The comeback soloist, on the other hand, laughs and expresses her wish to see her fellow member go solo. Nayeon’s gears are clearly turning as if the new information she just learned will support her next spoiler scheme .

Whether they tag team to tease fans (or one another) or promote the endeavors of their group mates, there’s an ongoing practice for the nine-member group: They are one another’s support system. Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu all started off as friendly competitors. But over the past decade, they’ve become a family of sisters who’ve celebrated each other in the highest of highs and provided supported through the lowest of lows. They left home to pursue this career, but they have a home in each other now. No matter what the next decade of their career brings, they’ll be ready.

“We’re really thankful [for everything],” Jihyo says, nodding. “Because we push our team of nine together, the vibes are really good, and because of that, we actually get a lot closer.”

As the group wraps up, finishing drinks and taking last bites of food, Jihyo looks around the room, then at each member one by one. Known as the “mic” of the group, the one who has trained the longest of all, Jihyo gets the last word: “We’re really proud of each other.”

Madonna sued for "pornography without warning" and for "deceptively" marketing her world tour

This is the second lawsuit leveled at the singer for her celebration world tour, by nardos haile.

Madonna 's Celebration world tour is at the center of yet another controversy.

According to People Magazine , in a class action lawsuit filed on Thursday, the singer is being sued by a fan who said Madonna subjected concertgoers to watch "pornography without warning." They are alleging claims of negligent misrepresentation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, breach of contract and false advertising.

Moreover, the lawsuit claimed that during Madonna's March 7 concert in Los Angeles, there were "topless women on stage simulating sex acts," while detailing a concertgoing experience that was "hot" and "uncomfortable" due to the lack of air conditioning. The fan alleged that Madonna ordered the air conditioning to be turned off, and as a result of no air conditioning, he says he became physically ill because of the heat, Entertainment Weekly reported.

Throughout her career, Madonna has cultivated a sex-positivite persona. Her shows have included erotic dancing, suggestive touching and lap dances that would include singers such as Maluma and Ricky Martin, People said. Alongside Madonna, the plaintiff also has also named the entertainment company, Live Nation, owner of Ticketmaster for luring concertgoers into purchasing  "expensive tickets" and “purposely and deceptively” concealing information about the singer's show not starting on time as it was marketed.

The complaint stated that the show was marketed to start at 8:30 p.m. but Madonna didn't take the stage until after 10 p.m. However, when the singer eventually appeared on stage, the lawsuit claimed she was lip-syncing even though the concertgoers had paid for a live experience and performance.

"Forcing consumers to wait hours in hot, uncomfortable arenas and subjecting them to pornography without warning is demonstrative of Madonna's flippant disrespect for her fans," the complaint said. Madonna and her legal team have not yet responded to multiple requests to comment.

Madonna's alleged tardiness is also the reason for a previous lawsuit filed against the singer in January . Two concertgoers at one of her New York tour dates accused the singer of "unconscionable, unfair, and/or deceptive trade practices" for beginning her show at 10:30 p.m. instead of the marketed time of 8:30 p.m. At the time, Madonna's representatives said the show's delay was due to technical difficulties.

We need your help to stay independent

Last month, Madonna's attorneys filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, stating that "no reasonable concertgoer — and certainly no Madonna fan — would expect the headline act at a major arena concert to take the stage at the ticketed event time."

Madonna's alleged sexual performances and tardiness are not the only controversial moments during her Celebration tour. In March, the singer called out an audience member sitting down during her show. In a video recorded by a concertgoer, the singer was heard yelling from the stage, "What are you doing sitting down?" to suggest that audience members should be standing and or dancing. She realized her mistake when she looked at the audience member who was in a wheelchair.

The singer said on stage, “Oh, OK. Politically incorrect, sorry about that. I’m glad you’re here." However, Madonna's actions was met with backlash. Criticisms online stated that her comments were "pure ableism & glaring privilege."

Seventeen and TWICE lead K-pop concert revenues globally over the past six months

The top group Seventeen and K-pop's leading girl group TWICE have each achieved the highest revenue among K-pop boy and girl groups in the global concert market over the past six months.

According to Billboard's semi-annual Boxscore report (covering October 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024) released on the 30th of last month (local time), Seventeen  ranked the highest among K-pop artists.

During the reporting period, Seventeen attracted approximately 552,000 spectators over 18 performances, generating ticket sales of $67.5 million (about 93.4 billion KRW).

Last year, Seventeen demonstrated their ticket power by holding their largest-ever five-dome tour in Japan since their debut, followed by stadium tours in Bangkok, Bulacan, and Macau. Including fan meetings and online live streaming audiences, Seventeen met over 1 million fans, known as 'CARATs,' throughout the year.

TWICE ranked 46th in the survey, the only Asian female artist to make the chart. 

TWICE, who performed at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, USA, in March, solidified their position as a 'stadium girl group.' Through five performances as part of their fifth world tour 'Ready to Be,' they attracted 220,000 fans, known as 'ONCE,' generating $24.2 million (about 33.5 billion KRW) in revenue.

On the 25th and 26th of last month, SEVENTEEN performed for two days at Nissan Stadium, Japan's largest venue, drawing 144,000 spectators. TWICE will take the same stage on July 27-28.

Meanwhile, ENHYPEN attracted about 198,000 fans during the semi-annual report period through their second world tour 'FATE' and 'FATE in Seoul,' generating ticket sales of $35.5 million (about 49 billion KRW) and ranking 34th in the survey.

Additionally, HYBE ranked 7th in the 'Top Promoter' category, the only Korean company to make the 'Top 10,' including performances by Seventeen, ENHYPEN , and TXT . 

HYBE noted, "The achievement is even more significant considering that all top 1-6 companies specialize in concerts, festivals, and events."

The top spot in this survey went to the world-renowned Irish rock band U2, which generated $230 million (about 318.5 billion KRW) from 38 performances. The band's residency at 'The Sphere,' a newly opened venue in Las Vegas last September, was instrumental. 

American pop stars Pink and Madonna ranked 2nd and 3rd, respectively, each generating slightly over $190 million (about 263 billion KRW) in the past six months.

American pop superstar Taylor Swift, who is creating a global concert phenomenon with her world tour 'The Eras Tour,' did not submit data for this report and was excluded from the tally.

Twice’s hard work and longevity is no joke. They’ve been touring almost nonstop since the pandemic restrictions were lifted.

I really hope I can see ENHYPEN one day! But I'm happy they did so well this year 🧡

The Renovated $1.9 Billion Soccer Stadium About to Play Host to Taylor Swift

One of the world's most famous stadiums is ready to host the world's most famous pop star.

Construction has wrapped up on years-long renovation of Real Madrid's iconic Santiago Bernabéu stadium in the Spanish capital, just in time for the arena to welcome Taylor Swift 's Eras Tour for a two-night run.

When Swift comes to town Wednesday it will be the first international performances at the Bernabéu in over a decade and the first major event since the completion of a four-year, $1.94 billion renovation project.

Aiming to transform the Bernabéu from a soccer stadium into a premier venue for sports and entertainment, Real Madrid's president, Florentino Pérez, spearheaded the renovation with an ambitious plan to generate revenue beyond traditional soccer matches. The renovated Bernabéu includes advanced technology designed to enhance the audience's experience at large-scale events, such as concerts and even future NFL games.

"This stadium, which was the product of a visionary like our dear president Santiago Bernabéu, will allow us to continue aspiring to be leaders in sports, economics, and social aspects," Pérez said in December.

Pérez is best known for successfully transforming Real Madrid into a global brand by bringing soccer superstars like Luis Figo, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo and David Beckham to the Bernabéu. As a result, Real Madrid became the world's most valuable sports club for almost a decade until 2015, when it was surpassed by the Dallas Cowboys.

Facing competition from state-owned teams like Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain , Pérez investigated the Cowboys' success and found that its home arena, AT&T Stadium was a significant source of revenue for the Cowboys even when the team wasn't playing.

The Bernabéu has been home to Real Madrid since 1947, but will look like a brand-new stadium when the first Swifties enter the gates on Wednesday. The renovated building features a new façade, characterized by curved blades in stainless steel with a LED lighting system, a retractable roof, a 360-degree video scoreboard and four thousand new seats, bringing its capacity to 85,000. The renovation also includes a retractable pitch system designed to preserve the quality of the turf and facilitate the stadium's use for various non-soccer events.

The project's cost before interest stands at $1.29 billion, with financing through three separate loans. Real Madrid's interim accounts for the 2023-24 season indicate that the stadium is expected to be paid off by 2053. Pérez assured club members that these costs would be offset by the substantial profits expected from the new multipurpose use of the stadium.

As part of this strategy, Real Madrid has partnered with the U.S. company Legends, which manages event sourcing and logistics for several major venues, including AT&T Stadium in Dallas. Legends has paid approximately $55 million for 20% of the revenue from non-soccer events at the Bernabéu over the next 25 years, starting with this week's Eras Tour dates.

The renovated Bernabéu also includes new amenities such as restaurants, a skywalk with panoramic views of Madrid, and an expanded museum expected to increase annual visitors from 1.5 million to 2 million. The museum alone is projected to generate $55 million annually, comparable to the revenue some Spanish soccer clubs earn from broadcasting rights.

The transformation of the Bernabéu into a year-round venue has raised concerns among residents of Madrid's Chamartín district. Residents have complained about noise levels exceeding permitted decibel limits during concerts, disrupting daily life and potentially impacting their health. A group of residents even filed a petition to Madrid Town Hall to stop the Taylor Swift concerts.

Those two concerts alone are expected to bring in at least $20 million to the city's hospitality sector, as part of a phenomenon known as 'Swiftonomics ' that has followed the pop star across her wildly successful global tour.

Springsteen tour relaunches in Phoenix. Fans staying on 'ride as long as it's going'

4 minute read.

Let's do it again.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are set to relaunch their tour Tuesday, March 19, at the Footprint Center in Phoenix after shows were postponed due to Springsteen's bout with peptic ulcer disease.

“People are thrilled,” said Audrey Hunn, administrator of the Calling All Bruce Springsteen Fans! Facebook group. “When it first happened, a lot people weren't really sure that he was going to come back. Bruce is going to want to make it up to people, especially the cities he had to cancel twice."

The Phoenix show will be the first for Springsteen and the E Street Band since Sept. 3, 2023, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford. After that show, Springsteen said he was postponing the rest of the band's September concerts .

On Sept. 27, shows for the rest of the year were postponed .

“I got to tell you the truth, we had no idea how much pain (Springsteen) was in ,” said Steven Van Zandt to USA Today at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in November. “It was remarkable when we found out that he had been in pain for five shows at least. He is just a tough guy.”

Problems on tour

Peptic ulcer disease is characterized by discontinuation in the inner lining of the gastrointestinal tract because of gastric acid secretion or pepsin, according to the National Library of Medicine . Those with it suffer pain after meals in a span 15 minutes to two or three hours after eating.

Springsteen, 74, said he had “a bitch of a bellyache” that was “unfortunately rocking my internal world” on the Oct. 9 edition of his SiriusXM “From My Home to Yours” deejay show .

The Springsteen and E Street Band tour last year was marked by several postponements and cancellations. Two shows at Citizens Bank Ballpark last August were postponed due to the Boss “having been taken ill,” according to Springsteen's social media handles.

Three other 2023 shows — March 9 at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio; March 12 at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut; and March 14 at the MVP Arena in Albany, New York — were also postponed due to an undisclosed illness.

Multiple band members missed shows on the 2023 tour's U.S. arena leg due to COVID, including Van Zandt, Nils Lofgren, Jake Clemons and Soozie Tyrell.

So the upcoming tour, which heads to Europe this summer after arena shows in the U.S. is being viewed as a second chance by fans. Recordings of the upcoming shows are available for pre-order as CDs or hi-res downloads via Nugs.net . The entire tour, along with the Live Archive Series, can be streamed on demand with a Nugs.net subscription.

“Seeing Bruce and the greatest band in the land take the stage again in Phoenix is going to be special and definitely should have new meaning not just for all Springsteen fans, but for Bruce and the band as well,” said Howie Chaz, founder of the Spring-Nuts Springsteen Facebook group, via email from Phoenix. “Once again it’s an important reminder how nothing is guaranteed and how we can take things for granted. So happy to see Bruce happy and healthy and doing what he does better than anyone. Objectively speaking, of course (smiley face emoji).”

Return to the stage in late 2023

Springsteen made his return to the concert stage when he sang backup Oct. 29 with the unlikely grouping of Tony Orlando, Patti Scialfa and Van Zandt for Freedom Bremner and Mark Rivera's version of “With a Little Help from My Friends” at the New Jersey Hall of Fame Class of 2023 induction ceremony.

The next week he surprised the audience on Nov. 6 at the Stand Up for Heroes veterans' fundraiser for the Bob Woodruff Foundation at Lincoln Center's David Geffen Hall in New York City. Springsteen joined John Mellencamp for the song “Wasted Days” from Mellencamp's 2022 album, “Strictly a One-Eyed Jack,” then stuck around to perform four solo acoustic songs, and tell off-color jokes.

Springsteen joined Mellencamp on stage March 10, 2024 , for “Pink Houses” at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark.

As for the upcoming tour, there's a new wrinkle to pre-show hype: filmed messages from the Boss.

“Bright light city gonna set my soul, gonna set my soul on fire – viva, viva Las Vegas!” said Springsteen in his white cowboy hat on an Instagram reel dropped Monday, March 18. “Las Vegas, this is Bruce Springsteen and I'm coming to see you on Friday night and I want you to be prepared to be ready and to be very afraid because we are going to rock you into the ground. I'll see you there, you've been warned!”

Springsteen delivered a similar delivered a video message to fans on March 17 to fans attending the Footprint Center show in Phoenix .

“I will stay on this ride as long as it's still going,” Hunn said.
