[OSENWORLD] For SEVENTEEN, a world tour is more than filling stadiums — it’s about reinventing the live experience. Their new tour, NEW_, symbolizes a fresh beginning, with visuals of the members walking down endless roads and a reimagined setlist designed to showcase new creative possibilities.
The tour kicks off September 13–14 at Incheon Asiad Main Stadium, with both nights selling out instantly in pre-sales. Fans worldwide will also be able to tune in through livestreams, ensuring the opening shows reach far beyond the stadium.
Since debuting in 2015, SEVENTEEN have steadily leveled up their stage presence — from their first solo concert at Yongsan Art Hall’s Grand Theater Mir, to Gocheok Sky Dome, Seoul World Cup Stadium, and most recently Nissan Stadium in Japan. Now they return to Incheon to open their biggest tour yet, cementing their reputation as performance masters.
From there, the group will embark on an ambitious global itinerary: Hong Kong (Sept. 27–28), followed by a second consecutive North American run in October with stops in Tacoma, Los Angeles, Austin, Sunrise, and Washington, D.C. In November and December, they will headline a four-dome tour across Japan.
The NEW_ era also extends beyond the stage. In Seoul, an “Airbnb Originals” program themed around SEVENTEEN ran Sept. 11–12, featuring longtime collaborators vocal trainer Kim Young-min and choreographer Choi Young-joon. Reservations closed immediately, and the experience will continue in Los Angeles and Tokyo. Meanwhile, in Hong Kong, HYBE and Pledis Entertainment are preparing CARATIA, a large-scale fan festival dedicated to SEVENTEEN’s fandom, CARAT.
