Twice 5th World Tour "Ready to Be" is 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 is currently set to have 44 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.

Reception[]

In her review for the SoFi Stadium show, Thania Garcia of Variety praised the 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 the overall concert atmosphere calling it "silly, carefree, and vibrant".

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 will be Australia's first K-pop stadium concert, and will make Twice the first female group to headline a stadium in Australia. They will also become the first K-pop group to headline a concert at the Jakarta International Stadium.
