Tour Overview & Key Dates
SEVENTEEN's “NEW_” World Tour is one of the most expansive tours in K-POP history. Launched in September 2025 with a massive Seoul opener, the tour has covered the US, Japan, and multiple Asian cities. The 2026 leg features encore shows in select cities, headlined by the Incheon Asiad Main Stadium concerts — a homecoming event at one of Korea's largest venues.
The 2025 leg received universal praise for its marathon 3.5-hour runtime, elaborate staging, and SEVENTEEN's trademark synchronized choreography. The 2026 Encore shows are expected to feature an updated setlist with new songs and potentially expanded production for the stadium-scale Incheon concerts.
SEVENTEEN is known for having one of the most dedicated touring fanbases — CARATs routinely travel internationally for multiple shows. If you're attending your first SEVENTEEN concert, prepare for one of the most immersive live experiences in K-POP.
Quick Reference
Setlist & Show Format
SEVENTEEN concerts are legendary for their length and energy. At 3 to 3.5 hours, they're essentially the length of two normal concerts. The show is structured around unit stages (HipHop Unit, Vocal Unit, Performance Unit), full-group anthems, and an extended encore segment that often runs 30–40 minutes.
Based on the 2025 setlist, expect hits like “MAESTRO”, “Super”, “HOT”, “Don't Wanna Cry”, “VERY NICE”, “THANKS”, “HOME;RUN”, and “Aju Nice” (the ultimate encore closer). Unit stages typically feature “CHANGE UP” (HipHop), “Lilili Yabbay” (Performance), and emotional Vocal Unit ballads. The 2026 Encore may add tracks from their latest release.
Fan chants are a huge part of the SEVENTEEN concert experience. Download the official fan chant guide from Weverse before the show — knowing the chants for “Very Nice” and “Aju Nice” will make your experience 10x better. The lightstick (ver.3) syncs via the Weverse app for coordinated light shows.

Incheon Encore – The Homecoming Show
The Incheon Asiad Main Stadium encore (April 4–5, 2026) is the crown jewel of the SEVENTEEN tour. This outdoor stadium holds 60,000+ fans and is one of the largest K-POP concert venues in Korea. The atmosphere at a Korean homecoming show is unmatched — expect synchronized fan chants from tens of thousands of CARATs.
The stadium is served by Incheon Metro Line 1 — Munhak Sports Complex Station is a 10-minute walk from the venue. From Incheon Airport (ICN), take the AREX to Seoul Station (~43 min), then transfer to the subway toward Incheon. A T-money card is essential for all Korean transit. Alternatively, a taxi from Seoul costs ₩40,000–60,000 (~$30–45 USD) and takes about 50–60 minutes via highway.
For accommodation, Bupyeong is the closest area with mid-range hotels and easy metro access to the stadium. Many international fans prefer staying in Seoul (Hongdae or Gangnam) for the nightlife and restaurant options, then commuting 40–50 minutes to the venue. Both approaches work well — just check the last metro time (Line 1 from Munhak Sports Complex last ~00:00).
Weather in early April averages 13°C — mild but windy. Since this is an outdoor stadium, bring a light jacket, scarf, and compact umbrella. Rain ponchos are a must-have backup. The show will proceed in light rain.
Incheon Quick Facts
Asia Leg – City-by-City Highlights
Beyond Incheon, the SEVENTEEN 2026 tour covers key Asian markets. Each city offers a unique travel experience alongside the concert.
Hong Kong
Hong Kong is one of the best concert cities in Asia. The MTR metro system is world-class and runs until midnight. Stay in Tsim Sha Tsui for the best combination of food, shopping, and transit access. Dim sum at Tim Ho Wan (the world's cheapest Michelin star) before the show is a fan tradition. Temple Street Night Market is perfect for post-show browsing. The Airport Express from HKG to Kowloon takes only 22 minutes.
Bangkok
Bangkok is the budget champion of the tour. Hotels near Sukhumvit start at $25–40/night, street food meals cost $1–3, and the BTS Skytrain connects the airport to the city center for under $2. The Suvarnabhumi Airport Rail Link runs to Makkasan/Phaya Thai in 30 minutes. Bangkok is hot year-round (32–35°C) — bring sunscreen, a cooling towel, and stay hydrated. Post-show, Khao San Road and Sukhumvit Soi 11 have late-night food and nightlife until dawn.
Singapore
Singapore is the most organized city on the tour. Changi Airport to the city center takes 30 minutes on MRT ($2 SGD). Everything is walkable and English is the primary language. Hawker centres offer world-class food for $3–5 SGD per meal — Maxwell Food Centre and Lau Pa Sat are fan favorites. Marina Bay Sands observation deck is a must-visit. The only downside is hotel prices — budget $100–150/night minimum. Singapore's MRT runs until midnight, and Grab (Southeast Asia's Uber) is reliable for late-night rides.
Bulacan (Philippines)
Bulacan hosts SEVENTEEN at the Philippine Arena — the world's largest indoor arena (55,000 capacity). This venue is outside Metro Manila, about 1.5–2 hours from NAIA airport depending on traffic. There is no direct rail connection — shuttle buses and Grab are the main transport options. Many fans stay in Manila (Makati or BGC) and arrange group transport to Bulacan on concert day. Filipino hospitality makes this one of the warmest fan experiences on the tour. Budget is very friendly — hotels from $20–40/night, meals $2–5.

SEVENTEEN Concert Packing Checklist
Concert Essentials
Official lightstick (ver.3, synced via Weverse app), portable charger (10,000mAh+ — 3.5h show drains battery fast), clear bag, printed ticket backup, earplugs, fan chant guide (screenshot from Weverse), small water bottle.
For Incheon (Outdoor Stadium)
Light jacket, scarf, compact umbrella, rain poncho (essential backup), hand warmers (April evenings can be chilly), cushion or blanket for stadium seating. Dress in layers — it warms up with the crowd but cools down during breaks.
For Southeast Asia (Hot & Humid)
Sunscreen SPF50+, cooling towel, reusable water bottle, light breathable clothing, portable fan, blotting papers. Bangkok and Manila are 30–35°C — queue times can be brutal in direct sun.
Travel Essentials
Passport, travel insurance, offline Google Maps, hotel confirmation screenshot, transit card (T-money for Korea, Octopus for HK, EZ-Link for Singapore), universal power adapter, cash in local currency.
Ticketing Tips
SEVENTEEN tickets sell out extremely fast. The Incheon Encore sold out in minutes during CARAT presale. For remaining Asia dates, tickets are sold through regional platforms — Ticketmelon (Bangkok), Ticketmaster SG (Singapore), SM Tickets (Bulacan), and various HK platforms. CARAT membership through Weverse gives presale access for most shows.
Resale prices for SEVENTEEN are among the highest in K-POP due to limited supply and massive demand. Floor/standing tickets that were $100–200 face value can resell for $400–1,000+. Stadium upper sections ($50–80 face) offer the best value — SEVENTEEN's production is designed to be impressive from every angle, especially at stadium shows.
Ticket scams are common on social media. Only buy from official platforms or verified resale sites. For Korea shows, Interpark and YES24 are the main official channels. Always confirm your ticket has a valid barcode/QR before paying resellers.
