# Ready to Be World Tour

Twice 5th World Tour "Ready to Be" was the third worldwide concert tour and the fifth overall concert headlined by South Korean girl group Twice, in support of their twelfth extended play Ready to Be (2023). The tour began on April 15, 2023, at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena in Seoul, and concluded on July 28, 2024, at Nissan Stadium in Yokohama, comprising 51 shows in Asia, North America, South America, Oceania and Europe.

## Background

On February 21, 2023, JYP Entertainment announced that Twice would embark on their largest world tour so far, revealing 17 initial tour dates in 14 cities across East Asia, Australia, and North America. On March 24, six additional dates in Australia and North America were added after most tickets sold out. The second part of the tour was announced on April 24, with six shows in Southeast Asia and Europe. Two more shows were then added to the Europe leg "due to popular demand". After the second concert in Tokyo on May 21, it was announced that four more shows would be held in Japan in December. On June 8, a second tour date in Singapore was announced due to "overwhelming demand". On June 17, a second show was added in the Philippines, two days after ticket sales were temporarily suspended due to "suspicious activities detected online". A second show was also added in Thailand on June 20.
The third part of the tour was announced on August 28, with an additional concert in Melbourne, Australia, as well as shows in Indonesia, Mexico, and Brazil. On September 7, a second show was added in Brazil after tickets sold out. A second concert date was also added in Mexico after all tickets quickly sold out on September 14. In December, it was announced that a concert at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas would take place on March 16, 2024. That same month, it was announced that four additional concerts would be held in Japan in July 2024, including two at Nissan Stadium. In January 2024, Vcha was announced as the opening act for five concerts in Mexico City, São Paulo, and Las Vegas. In April 2024, two more Tokyo dates were announced.

## Reception

In her review of the SoFi Stadium show, Thania Garcia of Variety praised Twice's "newness", writing, "this year, for the first time, a drummer and guitarist join the girls on stage about mid-way into the set, adding a tinge of freshness to older singles like 'What Is Love?' and 'Queen of Hearts'. And though Twice is known for singing sugary pop songs about love, they certainly deliver one of the edgiest K-pop shows the U.S. has ever seen with Ready to Be." She continued to compliment the group's solo performances and the way the members "unapologetically embrace and celebrate their femininity" while "leaning into their sexuality for the first time".
Similarly, Nylon's Crystal Bell praised the group's solo performances, writing, "it was liberating to finally see the members express themselves freely and give a glimpse of what (possibly) lies ahead." She furthermore complemented the live band version of their hit songs, and called the overall concert atmosphere "silly, carefree, and vibrant".
The journalist Braulio Lorentz from G1, a renowned and audience leader in digital journalism in Brazil, wrote about the tour's stop in Brazil: "Twice's debut in Brazil is proof that the group's K-Pop is even better live", in free translation. The author also praised the structure and visual paraphernalia of the concert, mainly for bringing things little seen in spectacle of this genre: "The team on stage also has a cameraman, who records scenes that go directly to the screen. The idea works [...] giving the impression that we are watching a live clip."
CNN's Arthur Barranco highlighted Twice as "one of the main girl groups in K-pop", praising the delivery of "live vocals, choreography and fireworks" and emphasizing the long wait of the group's Brazilian fandom: "The Allianz Parque Stadium, in São Paulo, was the stage for one of the most anticipated shows by Brazilian k-poppers, who waited nine years to see Twice up close." The journalist also praised the girls' efforts to repay the viewers' immense affection: "Twice tried to repay the fans' love. Member Dahyun, for example, was the one who most risked speaking Portuguese, showing affection for Brazilians."

## Commercial performance

Twice became the first K-pop girl group to headline concerts in Japanese stadiums, with four performances in Yanmar Stadium Nagai and Ajinomoto Stadium. The four shows sold 220,000 tickets from more than 1.2 million ticket applications. In the United States, Twice became the first K-pop girl group to sell out and headline SoFi Stadium and MetLife Stadium. On September 7, Twice became the first K-pop girl group to sell out a stadium in São Paulo. Their concert at Marvel Stadium on November 4 was Australia's first K-pop stadium concert, and made Twice the first female group to headline a stadium in Australia. They also became the first K-pop group to headline a concert at the Jakarta International Stadium. In July 2024, Twice became the first foreign female artist to headline a concert at Japan's Nissan Stadium. They were the fourth girl group to hold a concert there, after AKB48, Momoiro Clover Z, and Nogizaka46.
In December 2023, Billboard reported that the tour grossed $54,200,000 with an attendance of 345,000 from 18 reported shows between November 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023. In June 2024, Billboard reported that the tour further grossed $24,200,000 with an attendance of 220,000 from 5 reported shows between October 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024.
