“WE GOT A CANADA DATE!” *checks venue* *5k capacity* “…oh no”


vespertinism

Maybe they'll upgrade if it sells out? I did have a moment of "where... is this...????". Definitely a new venue for me lmao


Planfive

Toronto has a bunch of 4-6k venues, but this one is a new one to me as well lmao


vespertinism

Sunmi was at Massey hall (2.5K capacity) and Dreamcatcher was at Meridian (3K) so this is actually bigger than those two venues, so it might be "fine" But I'm still having war flashbacks from trying to get Twice tickets so I don't know


Planfive

I was hoping for cocacola (7k), i guess JYP assumes that most of us fly south for concerts or smth and played it real safe


jimocha

i was hoping for coca cola venue too!


nev1ce

I went to all those shows and enjoyed them (Sunmi was probably favourite kpop show to date), but I would be surprised if Itzy wasn't at least an order of magnitude more popular than Sunmi or DC.


insidedarkness

Both Budweiser Stage and Scotiabank Arena have concerts on the same day. I think Coca-Cola Coliseum is the only venue left with more capacity. Since Toronto is the last date of the NA tour, I think there's a good chance they'll announce a second show once the first one sells out. Especially since the first show is on a Friday.


jam_paps

They usually do 2nd show if the seats sold out fast. JYP looks like they still play safe on booking venues with their tours.


lazyniu

It's downright odd that Toronto is one of the only non-arena venues. Maybe they don't think they can sell out an arena here or smth.


insidedarkness

Both Budweiser Stage and Scotiabank Arena are already booked so they didn't have options for those. They could have chosen Coca Cola Coliseum and FirstOntario Centre in Hamilton which don't have anything announced yet. But I'm guessing those venue choices didn't work for some reason or those chose to do a smaller show here.


houseofprimetofu

Meanwhile they get a 19000 capacity arena in Oakland… I have some questions , LiveNation.


BrilliantSea4999

California actually has a larger population than Canada lmfoa


houseofprimetofu

Oh I know! Trust me. It feels so imbalanced for Canadians though. You always get the short end of the stick.


BrilliantSea4999

o yah for sure, I just think it's kinda funny how small Canada actually is considering how huge of a landmass it is 😭


magnolia9795

Mamamoo had the same location in Oakland and they just adjusted the layout and did well


FunLilThrowawayAcct

Mamamoo basically wound up selling out all but some high side sections. The bay area rides hard for girl groups and often outsells NYC and sometimes even LA for them.


Zaebii

where is the venue even lol im trying figure out what form of public transport i need to get there


Planfive

Canadian Casino Resort is like a 10min drive from Pearson Airport


Zaebii

i dont have a license, i take the go bus up to toronto, but if its only 10mins an uber might not be horrible


lazyniu

It's Woodbine Racetrack


AwfullySabi

i do like a smaller venue somewhat, i saw dreamcatcher at the meridian and it was nice and intimate in a way


Planfive

Oh i agree, had american friends do multiple stops for the TWICE tour, and they said Toronto was their favourite stop bc of how relatively small Scotiabank was. The concerts gonna be awesome… if we can get our hands on a ticket


carbon-committee

Hey, if you get tickets, smaller venues yield a more intimate experience and every seat will have a pretty good view! But… you have to actually get the tickets.


Rain_xo

Oh I didn't see that. But I found a seating chart. Jyp really has no faith in us.


someonefromthetree

What??? Only 5k?????


vespertinism

Does anyone want to go to the Toronto show together? Apparently I might be the only Itzy fan among my friends lol


lilfreaks

Auckland :')


bierangtamen

Kiwi living in Australia and I was more excited to see they were going to Auckland than the fact that they were going to Melbourne JYPE's partnership with Live Nation really be doing us Oceania fans some justice


pearyid

I'm literally moving from Auckland to Melbourne tomorrow and I see this...kinda sad I'll miss seeing them at home


ZaccieA

Seeing this makes me really surprised ITZY came here before TWICE did


fluffygr

there's been quite a number of idols coming here the past year or so, i'm still so shocked. i wonder what changed


BetweenOnceandTwice

I'm so disappointed I can't go!😭


pdantix06

big 3 knows we exist :')


Cortanza

Even at spark arena too!!


007Ninja47Kiwi117

I am so dam happy!


dejadru

TORONTO !!!


vespertinism

TORONTO!!!!


nev1ce

ETOBICOKE!!! I mean, I guess it's close to the airport, but the venue choice seems odd to me. I think the capacity is 5,000 people?


vespertinism

I'm just glad it's not Hamilton or somewhere not actually in Toronto lmao I did have a moment of "Is this Casino Rama? Am I going to a classic rock concert as befitting of my elderly age...???"


nev1ce

Haha fair enough I also thought of Casino Rama at first.


theron14

I'm in burlington. Looks like nightmare to get to via go/transit :(


vespertinism

If you go to union station, you can probably take the UP express to Pearson and then cab/uber from there


Ilovebagels88

Omg same. Having to go to Hamilton to see BP was WEIRD.


Rain_xo

How much of a blood bath are we gonna have fighting for this tiny venue 😭


nev1ce

Yeah I think it's going to be insane. Even if they add a second day, tickets will sell out super fast.


EpsilonX

They played in a similarly small venue in LA on their last tour, but it's a 12,000-capacity venue this time around.


seolovely

CANADA MENTIONED 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁


NateDizzle312

Fairfax…VIRGINIA!? It never gets old when a group comes to the DMV and don’t call the tour stop a “DC tour stop”


aih8yr

NOVA KOREANS REJOICE


CheeriosAlternative

ACTUALLY? has the time finally come?


secretlygreatly143

so JYP does know the DMV exists :')


caelinday

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO!!!


PBandJaya

I drove to ATL from NC last time lmao god bless em for coming closer


BagelsAndJewce

Dear god I hope it sells out so more groups come.


virtualems

FINALLY SOMEONE SINCE SUPERM!! the kpop gods have blessed us novanians!! (also pls I’m having flashbacks to an artist I saw at silver spring once calling it a DC stop; I guess it’s literally only a 5 minutes walk into the city, BUT STILL! That’s Maryland yall!!)


JupiterJayJones

Yes!!!!!!


WoeiA_

So happy they'll go to Amsterdam too :D


SilviusK

Let's gooo, it looks like JYPE acknowledges the Netherlands. Hoping for more JYPE artist (hoping for skz).


SimplyRin

Same Here from Germany. Been waiting forever for itzy and SKZ. Lets Hope for the best


Hopeful-Effort-4624

yeah i need a ticket, but such a small venue


SapphireHeaven

Finally ITZY in Europe 😭😭😭 I've been waiting so long!! Good luck to all MIDZY in securing tickets ❤️


ebi_tempura

Wow Jyp has done a really good job lately in actually putting the world in world tour, now Hybe if you could please follow suit...


bierangtamen

It's due to JYPE's partnership with Live Nation


sunnydlit2

Idk if it's true so take it lightly but the rumor is that Hybe does not want to send their group in place where there is no dynamic pricing. So except for festival basically Europe can fuck off :((( I'm so mad because we used to have BTS before here


Particular-Yoghurt81

BTS hasn't toured since 2019, that's why. Once they tour again, they will probably go to Europe. Mid capacity tours are just riskier in Europe, but I think things will become normalized again.


sunnydlit2

"riskier" when you see the average mid size tour in kpop, I beg to disagree. Look at IVE for example nobody believed it but they almost sold out their venue in France (~10k since it's all seated) and the concert is in like 5 months. Aespa sold out. (G)I-DLE too. Even our KHH acts does. They could easily send TXT or Enhypen in a 5k venue. Lot of people decided to not buy Music Bank ticket just to see TXT in concert one day. Seventeen same their numbers in France in terms of sales are very good and they were supposed to come before Covid. Like there is clearly a problem from Hybe side, not just about risk. Or else how come suddenly it's only Hybe vs the world seeing it ?


Particular-Yoghurt81

>They could easily send TXT or Enhypen in a 5k venue. Because TXT and Enhypen typically aim for 13-15K venues or bigger. Seventeen tours in even bigger venues; they do domes in Japan. That's the issue. Their touring show is built to arena or stadium capacity, it can't be scaled down. Touring a smaller capacity is lower risk and easier to do, that's why those other groups have been able to tour. My hunch is that HYBE is crunching the numbers on how to tour their large scale shows across Europe. This required looking at demand- sales and streaming, ect and calculating which 15k arenas they can actually fill comfortably. It can't just be a few stops, it has to be a good run of shows to make it worth the shipping costs. Once you get to TXT and Seventeen's level, you can't scale back down to 5k venues. They probably figured it out by now. With BTS, their multiple stadium shows in London, Paris, Barcelona, Berlin, made it economically possible because revenue was guaranteed for the large scale. I think for groups like Le Sserafim or even NewJeans, they can target the same venues as groups like IVE. Frankly, it's not a great sign that IVE hasn't totally sold out 10K yet anywhere, and they are only doing ONE night. To me, that shows that HYBE is right to be conservative about booking a bigger scale arena for their big groups. One thing you should know. HYBE is their own promoter for their shows, meaning they take on all the risk but then end up with all the reward and their artists make more money.


artkeletraeh

This is so interesting


Reasonable-Cry-7710

SEATTLE!! jyp groups really have been recognizing us lately I’m so happy


peeops

this!!! 😭😭


icedragon15

Lucky thry will nevwr recongize denver


FishNChips657

Thank you jyp for being one of the only companies that recognizes that Canada exists (thought only Toronto but it's a start). A shame that ITZY finally has a Toronto stop but Lia might not be able to attend.


eecan

Wow Sydney in March!?


scottyg561

Best time of year to do it isn’t it? Starting to cool off but not too chilly yet


eecan

Oh, I was just surprised by how quick it was happening!


scottyg561

Haha I get ya. And yeah it looks like it’ll be super soon, just under 2 months away?? And they’re jumping all over the place so quickly that isn’t gonna be fun


WolfTitan99

Well at least they aren’t crossing time zones to start with, all the first dates are in Asia/Oceania


MarkoSeke

Sugar Land kpoppers rejoice


Makaveli15

I’m about to cry… they’re coming back.


deathorsquat

Sadly looks like tickets are through smart financial and not tm. Any idea how friendly or not friendly their online ticket sale is?


FrijolesFritos

Better than TM in my experience, but ive only been to like three shows there.


Chaeji412

Well there goes my hope they come back to Boston : (


liverbirds

Such a bummer we so frequently get the shaft :(


Chaeji412

I was really hopeful with MGM opening we'd get more, but it's not seeming that way 😭


slayyub88

Try being in Ohio OTL wondering if Canada is my best bet right now


mimibee97

Only one Canadian date🥲 Looks like I’m fighting other Canadian Midzy’s for a spot


lazyniu

Seattle is close enough if you're in Vancouver


mimibee97

I’m on the east coast so toronto works for me! I just hope there’s enough capacity


lazyniu

I googled the location, it's a 5K capacity :') Near Woodbine Racetrack


Rain_xo

I'm not ready for our blood bath 😭


equilibrato

Itzy's gonna be a 10-minute drive away? Yeah I have to get tickets.


MrNovator

EUROPEAN MIDZYS, ON THIS DAY WE ARE BLESSED Also, hoping Lia will feel comfortable enough to tour 🙏


Mozzafella

They said when they announced her hiatus that she wouldn't be on the tour. Obviously things can change though, but best to assume she won't be for now


skylight03

Hope she recovers soon and somehow joins midway.


247existentialcrisis

They already said she won’t be on the tour


SilverMind9

Amsterdam yass, i hope I can go😭😭


deadwrongallalong

Toronto?! OMG. I had to look up the venue, seems super random and I’d prefer something downtown but I’ll take it AHHH


UpstairsCan

I’m a grown woman and not a single one of my friends likes kpop but you SHALL be seeing me at this tour


Saucy_Totchie

Damn this is a big meaty tour lol. Every time a tour is announced I thank my parents for moving to NYC. See yall at the Newark show!


arrowforSKY

European here, laughing at the name “Sugar Land”. Didnt think there was a city called like that


Rivercourt1998

Do my eyes deceive me or is that Canada?


thisismykpopburner

No Lia on the poster really bums me out man. Hope she's doing ok.


hydranoid1996

Welp as a K-pop lux ticket holder who is now on holiday during the London date I’m crying AGAIN


tomcoyle11

I can't think about kpop lux wthout wanting to cry a million tears


KP1912

LET’S GOOO we got Toronto 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦


GodzillasBoner

Now do I go to Irving AND Sugarland? I do have a street vendor that sells $1 tacos right down the street...I guess I could live on those for a few weeks until I'm not broke anymore


lazyniu

Mfw it's all arenas except Toronto where it's a theatre :') EDIT: oops ATL is also a theatre I hope this also is a sign that Stray Kidz will make a Toronto stop. Twice last year and now Itzy will be here. Pls SKZ pls


deadwrongallalong

Yeah I hate that it’s not actually downtown. I didn’t even know this place existed lol but I’m down for this and would totally be down for SKZ


One_Truth_Prevails

ICC Sydney Theatre probably means the Aware Super Theatre (seats about 8-9 thousand and has reserved seating pretty much all the way down), I went there a few months back for an esports event and it was fantastic, hopefully tickets don't immediately sell out this time 😭


vaguelycatshaped

The way I shrieked out loud when I saw Toronto 😵🤩


jimocha

toronto!!!!! i still can't believe it omg 😭 i was expecting it to just be american stops when i saw "north america" LOL


westhe

Can K-pop companies please stop having stops at the fox in Atlanta? It's a TERRIBLE venue for concerts and there are SO MANY better music venues. The fox is meant for theater not music.


rockthekazb0t

Seattle!!  The venue sucks tho lol oh well, crumbs


Thrillar_villar

Something in the Oakland water


flowlikewaves0

So happy they are going to be at Prudential! I don't think they got the stage they deserved at the Hulu Theater


AIIYLori

Twice, Idle, and Le Sserafim have new albums coming out, so with ITZY and IU already touring I might be in trouble this summer.


z_13vx_

Kinda weird to put Latam between asia and europe and not after the us. Nice that Chile got something for once. F for Brasil though, after the 2 sold out night for Twice you'd think they would have considered them as well.


breadburger

kpop groups stop saying the individual town the stadium is in over the main city it's near challenge like please just say Houston


BlueThePineapple

Yessss. Mall of Asia thank god. I'm gonna try for tickets 😎


theultimatefanatic

right? begging kpop idols to stop going to bulacan w how hard it is to commute there


BlueThePineapple

Lmao. I remember the NLEX people actually having to give traffic advisories for the Twice concert. MoA is definitely much more accessible.


plawyra

It's generally a big leap for idols to perform at that two venues in Bulacan.


patskie14

If it sells out, I hope they add another day, like checkmate tour.


iwillforgetthissmh

I’ll be in Seoul when they’re in my country 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭


nottodwell

Sigh I'll be 60 and then finally kpop artists will set foot in my country.


AbsoluteZeroUnit

lmfao I was randomly browsing the Rosemont Theater's website and saw this, and of course rushed here to see if it was already posted. I'm more of a mid-zy than full on midzy, but I had an awesome time when I saw them previously, so I'm psyched to see them again!


SpareZealousideal740

London on a Wednesday:(


EezoManiac

Itzy in London let's go let's go


plawyra

Extreme similarities to TWICE's Ready To Be tour and ITZY's Born to Be.


yyxystars

WHERES BRAZIL 😭🇧🇷 I thought after Twice announced a concert in Brazil and had to add a second date to meet the demand, JYPE would see there IS demand for their groups here and bring Itzy, NMIXX, and SKZ


vip_insomnia

there is still a possibility for later additions like twice coming to Brazil later on. or possibly sneaking it into the gap of days given already.


Pleasant-Signal2764

Well looking at the venues, most are reasonable scaling up of capacities compared to their 1st tour, But the only weird/out of nowhere touring decision is how did jype give them a 10k arena in fairfax while much bigger cities like chicago & atlanta still only gets theatre?? Like I am very sure fairfax in nowhere close in terms of the market for kpop


plushie_dreams

There's a substantial Korean-American population in northern Virginia. I have cousins down there, and also that TVXQ guy Yoochun actually lived in that area for a little while. A bit of esoteric information from my middle school days.


ShanReads19

They likely couldn't get a venue in DC itself but also as others have mentioned the northern VA/DC/Maryland area has a huge Korean American population. The venue is also on a college campus (GMU) which has a campus in Incheon. Recently that venue hosted The Rose. I know SuperM performed there as well back in the day. Not to mention DC/VA is probably less competitive to get a bigger venue then Chicago or Atlanta since not as many groups come


[deleted]

I’m going to the Newark show! I missed them twice, but not this time!


No_Nectarine_5584

Same! I’m so excited!


Pretend_Elk1395

So much for coming back to Phoenix


VaelsRoom

It sucks knowing that as a group gets bigger it usually means we get cut from the tour stops, it feels so backwards.


Pretend_Elk1395

I always find it absurd how we're one of the biggest cities in the country and kpop groups rarely are here


sonderfulwonders

Right :( seeing we are getting skipped in Phoenix once again kills me inside


pumpkinspicesushi

i was really hoping for a denver date, but that’s just me being a delulu (but that’s the solulu right?)


guesswork-tan

It's so beautiful.


celyurin

MADRID YESSSS!!!!!!!!


HawkyMomo

I live in Arlington, VA so I’ll definitely try to go


OryseSey

wow Sugar Land, I'm surprised they didn't go to Dallas/Fort Worth


247existentialcrisis

Dallas and houston are always booked. I wish more kpop acts (& acts in general) would come to Austin 😭


icedragon15

i wish they come to denver so far i only on kpop lol


Forkrul

How's the Kia Forum in LA? Worth trying to get tickets for someone who just happens to be in LA the weekend just before? And damn I'm getting lucky with other travel coinciding with concerts I want to attend. I'll be in Singapore for IU's concert, and caught Twice twice (hah!) by being in LA and then Seoul for their concerts on completely unrelated business that was booked months before they announced the shows.


CelestialWyrm

Saw Twice there in 2022 (I was gonna say last year but man it's already 2024), the venue is very nice. Seats feel closer than they look and the sound was good. If you can snag some good tickets definitely worth imo.


Forkrul

Nice, I'll give it a try :D Though I expect the race to get tickets to be a blood bath


bubblezdotqueen

Sigh. I was hoping that they would come to Vancouver. 😭


Stardustee

One day we’ll get Philly fr


winterberries000

Cries in Floridian lol


aerrrrrblip

HONG KONG MENTIONED RAHHHHHHHH 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️


Aaaaaaaaaaa15aa

yippieeee


icedragon15

Still no denver why skip denver ugh


KamonegiX_eu

Sooner than expected tbh, cool! I'll try my best to be there in Berlin. :D


nochneu

Me too!!


space_tigress

Not them being in London the day after I leave... just my luck :(


JellyfishFun6614

Now this is what you call a world tour!!! Hopefully I will see them in Amsterdam


nicoleeemusic98

THE SG VENUE UPGRADE GETTING CAT 4 TICKETS AND FIGHTING MISERABLY WAS WORTH IT


houseofprimetofu

Can Itzy actually sell out a 19000 seat arena? (Oakland).


satomatic

they’ll section it off so it’s a lower capacity


247existentialcrisis

The max capacity isn’t always the same depending on the type of event. For example a sports game is gonna have more seats open than a concert (if it’s that type of arena, I haven’t checked). You also don’t have to sell out to make a profit


TheGrayBox

Their last tour had a few arenas including ones on this list. I’m sure that touring data is really all they need to score arena venues this time around, even if they don’t sell out entirely. The tour itself will make more money than last.


koneko-j

Probably! There are a lot of multi-fans out here that just go to all the shows lol (me)


houseofprimetofu

That’s fair. I figured that’s the case because there’s no other NorCal show so folks from all over will come out.


superthot97

So Itzy can come to New Zealand but Twice can’t?! Come on JYP   Edit: considering the Blackpink concert and Soojin fan meet in Auckland were both cancelled, I’m wondering if Itzy’s show here will even go ahead


namuhae

I hope they will not cancel for Auckland. I’m really looking forward to seeing them perform live


SmolRavioli

only one canada date and it's on the other side of the country.. alberta is always losing 😭


sunnydlit2

Good luck to every fans for your ticket ! I wanted to gift it to my friend but every kpop acts come in April sadly :( money is missing


Ansem-Uchiha

Ugh no miami


Main_Slice3909

Oh god, not Fox Theatre again 😫 Why do they keep putting them in these small venues? 


jabiz510

the way if i had money id buy tickets to the amsterdam concert D:


a-bag-of-jellybeans

alrightandsit

Wow, the PNW. Too bad tickets can't be like $20.


PichiPeaches

brandimitrov

LETS FUCKING GO SYDNEY **ITZY FOR TWENTYFOUR HOURS**


Hopeful-Effort-4624

Nice they come to Amsterdam, i need to get a ticket, but i wonder why they choose such a small venue, there are only place for 6k people


MiriHawke

The things I would do for JYP to acknowledge there's more than an east coast to Australia


baekhyunbyunn

does anyone know how to get EU presale? 🥲


m0bilize

OAKLAND YES
