TWICE Shatters K-Pop Tour Records Across Oceania
## The K-pop Phenomenon in Australia
The K-pop wave has firmly established itself in Australia, highlighted by TWICE’s current tour, which has set a new record for the highest-selling K-pop tour in Oceania.
With over 50,000 tickets snapped up in Sydney and Melbourne, ticket sales have soared past previous records for K-pop performances in the region, demonstrating TWICE’s remarkable bond with their Australian fans.
### TWICE’s Historic Tour
This achievement marks yet another milestone for TWICE, a group consistently raising the bar for K-pop globally. The ongoing ‘This is For’ world tour, their sixth global venture, follows the groundbreaking ‘Ready to Be’ tour, which captivated 1.5 million fans across 51 performances in 27 cities.
The tour commenced this past weekend in Sydney, where the Qudos Bank Arena was aglow for two unforgettable nights. Next, TWICE is set to take the stage at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on November 8 and 9.
### Innovative Stage Design
Fans can look forward to an innovative 360-degree stage design for this tour, ensuring every seat offers a premium view. This configuration immerses the audience in the performance, making them feel like an integral part of the show.

### Words of Gratitude
Jihyo expressed, “I hope our Australian fans can truly feel how grateful we are for their love and support. Over the past ten years, we’ve been deeply moved by ONCEs who have supported us from afar, and through this tour, we want them to feel just how thankful we are.”
The record-setting Oceania leg is just the beginning for TWICE, who are continuously elevating their global pop influence. Following an impressive performance at the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, the group will extend their ‘This is For’ tour across Asia, North America, and Europe throughout 2025 and into 2026, solidifying their reputation as one of the world’s most significant pop acts.
### A Remarkable Response
Wenona Lok, a promoter from Live Nation Australasia, stated, “The response to TWICE’s ‘This is For’ tour has been incredible. Witnessing this tremendous enthusiasm from fans across Australia highlights TWICE’s impact and the progression of K-pop here. This tour promises to be one of the most breathtaking, high-production live experiences we’ve seen in these regions.”
As TWICE continues to achieve these milestones, one wonders what the future holds for this vibrant group. How do you think their influence will further grow in the coming years?
