TWICE “THIS IS FOR” World Tour Hong Kong Concert 2025: A Decade in the Making

The announcement of TWICE’s first-ever Hong Kong concert as part of their “THIS IS FOR” World Tour has sent waves of excitement through the Asian K-pop community. Scheduled for December 6, 2025, at the state-of-the-art Kai Tak Stadium, this landmark event marks not only TWICE’s debut performance in Hong Kong but also celebrates the group’s remarkable 10-year journey since their 2015 debut. For ONCEs (TWICE’s dedicated fandom) in Hong Kong and surrounding regions, this concert represents the culmination of years of anticipation and a rare opportunity to witness the nine-member group’s electrifying stage presence live.

Historical Significance of the Hong Kong Stop

The inclusion of Hong Kong in TWICE’s world tour carries special meaning. Despite being one of the most successful K-pop girl groups globally, TWICE had notably avoided hosting dedicated concerts in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and mainland China following a political controversy involving Taiwanese member Tzuyu in their early years. Their only previous appearances in Hong Kong were at multi-artist events like the MAMA Awards. The 2025 concert therefore breaks this long hiatus, signaling both the group’s artistic maturity and the universal appeal of their music that transcends political boundaries.

JYP Entertainment’s choice of Kai Tak Stadium (officially known as Kai Tak Sports Park Main Stadium) as the venue further emphasizes the significance of this event. With a capacity of approximately 50,000, it will be the largest venue TWICE has performed at in the region, surpassing their previous stops at smaller arenas. The modern facility, built on the site of Hong Kong’s former international airport, symbolizes both the city’s transformation and TWICE’s soaring global ambitions.

Concert Details and Fan Experience

While specific ticketing information remains under wraps, sources suggest prices may start around HKD 699, with VIP packages potentially reaching HKD 2,888 based on previous tour pricing structures. The concert is expected to begin at 7:00 PM, though official timings have yet to be confirmed. Given TWICE’s reputation for high-energy performances, fans can anticipate a 2.5 to 3-hour show packed with the group’s greatest hits spanning their decade-long career.

The venue has implemented strict security measures that attendees should note: bags larger than 38×30×20 cm are prohibited, outside food and drinks are banned (except empty reusable bottles under 600ml), and professional cameras/recording devices are not allowed. Perhaps most crucially, the stadium enforces a no re-entry policy—once a ticket is scanned for entry, leaving the venue means forfeiting the chance to return. These regulations, while stringent, aim to ensure a smooth and safe experience for all concertgoers.

Strategic Tour Planning and Global Reach

The Hong Kong date (December 6) strategically follows TWICE’s performances in Kaohsiung (November 22) and precedes their Bangkok shows (December 13-14), creating an efficient Asian tour leg that minimizes travel time between markets. This routing demonstrates JYP Entertainment’s thoughtful approach to maximizing the group’s regional impact while maintaining performer stamina.

Notably, the “THIS IS FOR” World Tour represents TWICE’s most ambitious global undertaking yet, spanning 13 cities across Asia and Australia in its first phase alone. The tour kicks off in Incheon’s Inspire Arena on July 19-20 before moving through major Japanese domes, Southeast Asian capitals, and Australian cities, finally concluding its initial leg in Bangkok. The inclusion of secondary markets like Melbourne alongside traditional K-pop strongholds illustrates TWICE’s expanding international footprint.

What to Expect from the Performance

While the official setlist remains undisclosed, fans can reasonably expect a career-spanning showcase. Timable’s event page highlights potential performances of signature tracks like “LIKEY,” “CRY FOR ME,” and “ALCOHOL-FREE”. Given the celebratory nature of a 10th anniversary tour, the concert will likely blend early megahits (“Cheer Up,” “TT”) with recent releases from their 2024 mini-albums and solo projects by members like Nayeon, Jihyo, and Tzuyu.

The production value promises to be spectacular, leveraging Kai Tak Stadium’s advanced facilities. TWICE concerts are renowned for their intricate choreography, dazzling costume changes, and immersive visual effects—elements that should shine even brighter in Hong Kong’s premier sports venue. Special segments may highlight subgroup MISAMO (comprising Mina, Sana, and Momo) and solo performances showcasing members’ individual talents.
