Riding high on the success of the single “Takedown” from the “K-Pop Demon Hunters” soundtrack, South Korean pop group Twice will hit the road for a North American arena tour that hits St. Paul’s Grand Casino Arena on April 12.
Tickets go on sale at 3 p.m. Oct. 9 through Ticketmaster. Fans who sign up at livemu.sc/twice by 6 p.m. Oct. 6 have access to a presale that starts at 11 a.m. Oct. 9. The concert will be performed on an in-the-round stage, allowing seats to be sold around the entire arena.
Twice emerged from a 2015 competitive reality television show “Sixteen,” which saw 16 young women — from South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, Canada and the United States — assessed for their singing and dancing abilities as well as their charisma and personality. Producers whittled the contestants down to the nine women who now make up the group.
The group’s sophomore single “Cheer Up” hit No. 1 on the Korean charts, as did the eight singles that followed. They found similar success in Japan and, later, around the world.
Twice scored their first U.S. success with the 2021 single “The Feels.” By 2024, they became the first female K-Pop group to headline both MLB and NFL stadiums, selling out Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium and New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium. Their 2024 tour drew a total of more than 1.5 million fans across 51 shows in 27 cities worldwide. This year, they also became the first female K-Pop group to headline Lollapalooza, where they drew one of the festival’s largest crowds.
More recently, Twice’s song “Takedown” was used in the Netflix film “K-Pop Demon Hunters,” which now stands as the most-watched original film in the company’s history.
