Background

edit

On February 19, 2024, Aespa officially announced via X (formerly Twitter) and Weverse the first dates of their upcoming world tour, with more dates to come.[1] On April 11, Aespa announced via their Japan fanclub two additional shows on August 17 and 18, 2024, held at Tokyo Dome, as a "Special Edition" of the concert.[2] Full event and ticketing information for the initial legs was announced May 1, via their Weverse fanclub page.[3] On May 10, an additional show was announced for Sydney due to demand.[4]

On May 11, Aespa announced that a concert scheduled for July 7 in Fukuoka, Japan, would be postponed due to feedback on social media regarding the date coinciding with a Chinese national day of mourning for the Marco Polo Bridge incident.[5][6] The show later rescheduled to July 30 and a new show added on July 31.[7]
