OAKLAND – August 8, 2024 – SEVENTEEN is making a highly anticipated return to the U.S. concert stage this October with ‘SEVENTEEN [RIGHT HERE] WORLD TOUR IN U.S.’ (hereinafter ‘RIGHT HERE’), now with the biggest-selling global album of 2023 to their name and a new EP to be released in October.
The K-pop icon announced their 2024 US tour today on their official social media channels and the global superfan platform weverse. The world tour, produced by Live Nation, kicks off on October 12 with two consecutive days at GOYANG STADIUM in Korea, before sailing into 5 cities in the US. ‘RIGHT HERE’ will feature shows in Rosemont, IL on October 22 & 23, Belmont Park, NY on October 25 & 27, San Antonio, TX on October 31 & November 1, and Oakland, CA on November 5 & 6, culminating on November 9 in Los Angeles, CA with a massive stadium performance at BMO Stadium.
This marks SEVENTEEN’s first US tour since ‘SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR [BE THE SUN]’, which concluded in Newark in September 2022.
Since then, SEVENTEEN earned the title for the best-selling K-pop album of all time (FML with more than 6 million copies sold), which also went on to become the best-selling album worldwide last year according to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry. The K-pop icon then made history by becoming the first K-pop group to perform on the main Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival, and is poised to return to Europe in September for their headlining set at Lollapalooza Berlin.
Their latest tour series, ‘SEVENTEEN TOUR ‘FOLLOW’ AGAIN,’ attracted a whopping 380,000 fans across just 8 shows in Korea and Japan, sparking anticipation for what lies ahead with the exciting new tour.
