TWICE will make history in April 2026, becoming the first foreign act to stage a solo headlining concert at Japan National Stadium in Tokyo.

On December 7, the group announced via its official Japanese social channels that its sixth world tour, “This Is For,” is adding a three-night stadium run at the venue, configured in a full 360-degree setup.

The shows are set for April 25, 26 and 28, 2026. With the 360-degree seating plan, the engagement is expected to host roughly 80,000 fans per night―about 240,000 across three dates―marking the largest run of TWICE’s career. They’ll also be the first non-Japanese artist to headline the National Stadium.

Back in September, TWICE’s Japan dome tour drew approximately 400,000 attendees. During the finale at Tokyo Dome, the group told fans they were “heading to an even bigger stage,” teasing 2026 plans―now realized with this milestone booking that further cements their status as a global top-tier girl group.

TWICE’s momentum continues on the charts, too. On December 6, 2024, “Strategy,” a track from their 14th mini album, earned RIAA Platinum certification―the highest level achieved by a K-pop girl group to date―after spending 17 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100.

Marking their 10th anniversary, TWICE shows no signs of slowing down as they expand their worldwide footprint.
