TWICE all set for upcoming ‘Ready To Be’ Manila concert

K-pop group TWICE is scheduled to perform again in Manila as part of their fifth world tour, Ready to Be. The concert tour is also in support of their EP Ready to Be.

The tour kicked off at the KSPO Dome (Olympic Gymnastics Arena) in Seoul last April 15 and has scheduled stops in Japan, Australia, the US, Singapore, Germany, Thailand, France, and England.

This will be TWICE’s second visit to the country. They previously staged their Twice-lights concert in June 2019 at the Mall of Asia Arena.

For their second Philippine concert, the girls are taken on a bigger venue at the Philippine Arena September 30 and October 1, 2023.

Initially, the concert was set for only one night but the tickets sold out quickly. Last June 17, local concert organizer Live Nation Philippines announced a second night for the TWICE concert.

“Good news, Once! We’ve added a second show on Oct 1, 2023, for TWICE 5TH WORLD TOUR ‘READY TO BE’ IN BULACAN,” they posted.
