TWICE “THIS IS FOR” World Tour 2026
Complete Travel Guide for Every City

From Vancouver to London, Tokyo to Lisbon — everything you need to plan your TWICE concert trip in 2026. Hotels near venues, airport transit guides, setlist predictions, packing lists, and honest city-by-city recommendations from fans who've been there.

Tour Overview & Key Dates

TWICE's “THIS IS FOR” World Tour is one of the biggest K-POP tours of 2026. Starting with Part 1 in 2025 across Asia and North America, Part 2 launched in January 2026 with an expanded roster of cities. The 2026 leg covers 30+ cities across North America, Europe, and Asia — including first-ever stops in Lisbon, Turin, Cologne, and Austin.

The North American leg runs from January through April 2026, hitting 20+ cities from Vancouver to Boston. The European leg follows in May–June with eight cities including Paris, London, Barcelona, and Amsterdam. The tour wraps with three nights at Tokyo's MUFG Park Stadium (Japan National Stadium) in late April — the largest venue on the entire tour.

This is TWICE's most ambitious tour ever in terms of geographic reach. JYP Entertainment has added multiple second-night shows in cities where Part 1 sold out instantly, including Chicago, New York, London, and Paris. If you're planning to attend, book flights and hotels as early as possible — TWICE concert tourism has driven hotel sell-outs in every city on the 2025 leg.

North America Leg – City-by-City Highlights

The North American leg is the biggest portion of the tour, covering 20+ cities from coast to coast. Here are the key travel highlights for each region.

West Coast

Vancouver kicks off the 2026 leg — mild weather, SkyTrain from YVR airport, and some of the best Asian food in North America. Seattle follows with easy light rail access from SEA-TAC and the iconic Pike Place Market for pre-show dining. Oakland has the best transit of any US venue — BART runs directly to the arena, and San Francisco is a 30-minute train ride for day trips. Los Angeles means Koreatown dining and Hollywood attractions, but plan for traffic and no reliable late-night transit.

Southwest & Central

Phoenix is hot — bring sunscreen SPF50+ and a cooling towel. Dallas has Koreatown in Carrollton (20 min north) and excellent BBQ. Austin is new for this tour — the Moody Center is on UT campus with great nearby food. Denver is a mile high — stay hydrated and expect altitude effects for the first day.

East Coast & Midwest

New York and Boston are classic stops with excellent subway systems running past midnight. Philadelphia offers budget hotel options compared to NYC. Chicago has deep dish pizza and the L train, but dress warmly for April. Detroit is surprisingly walkable around Little Caesars Arena with the People Mover transit. Saint Paul is paired with Minneapolis for Mall of America and light rail access.

Canada

Montreal is a fan favorite for poutine, Old Montreal vibes, and affordable hotels. Hamilton is a short GO Train ride from Toronto — many fans stay in downtown Toronto and commute to the show, combining two cities in one trip.

Europe Leg – City-by-City Highlights

The Europe leg runs from early May through early June 2026. With eight cities in four weeks, many fans plan multi-city trips using European rail networks.

Lisbon is the budget gem of the European leg — hotels under €80/night, incredible seafood, and the cheapest flights from within Europe. Barcelona offers Palau Sant Jordi on Montjuïc hill with stunning city views. Paris is always special — Accor Arena is metro-accessible and Opéra has a Korean food street.

Turin is a first-time tour stop with surprisingly low costs and amazing Italian food. Berlin has the best nightlife on the tour — Friedrichshain clubs run all night. Cologne is compact and walkable with Kölsch beer culture. Amsterdam has the scenic Ziggo Dome with direct train from Schiphol. London closes the European leg at The O2 — Jubilee Line runs late and Greenwich is beautiful for pre-show walks.

Europe Multi-City Route Suggestion

Lisbon → Barcelona (flight, €30–60) → Paris (TGV train, 6.5h) → Turin (TGV, 5.5h) → Berlin (flight, €40–80) → Cologne (ICE train, 4.5h) → Amsterdam (ICE train, 2.5h) → London (Eurostar, 3.5h). Total transport: approximately €300–500 if booked 4–6 weeks in advance.

Asia Leg – City-by-City Highlights

The Asia leg features Taipei and three nights at Tokyo's MUFG Park Stadium — the crown jewel of the tour.

Tokyo shows at the Japan National Stadium (MUFG Park) are expected to be the tour's biggest production. This is TWICE's home turf in Asia — Japan has been their second-largest market since debut. Taipei combines affordable hotels, incredible night market food, and easy MRT transit. Both cities have well-documented travel guides on KPopGo with detailed transit breakdowns.

Do NOT Bring

Professional cameras (DSLR/mirrorless), tripods, selfie sticks, large banners or signs (check venue policy), outside food/drinks (most venues), large bags or backpacks (US clear bag policy).

Ticketing Tips

TWICE shows sell out fast — most US/Canada dates sold out during ONCE presale. For remaining dates in Europe and Asia, here's what to know. US/Canada tickets are on Ticketmaster with verified resale. Europe uses local platforms — Eventim (Germany), FNAC (France/Spain), Ticketmaster UK. Japan shows use FC lottery — you need a Japanese address or proxy service. Taipei tickets go through KKTIX.

Resale prices vary wildly. Floor seats that were $150–250 face value are reselling for $400–800 on StubHub. Upper level seats ($60–100 face) resell for $120–200. If budget is a concern, upper level seats at large arenas like United Center (Chicago) or The O2 (London) still offer excellent sound — TWICE's production fills every corner.

Always buy from official or verified resale platforms. Avoid random social media sellers — ticket scams are common for TWICE shows. Ticketmaster's “Verified Resale” and AXS's official resale are the safest options for US shows.
