Welcome Back Tour
The Welcome Back Tour was the fourth concert tour by South Korean girl group 2NE1. Held in commemoration of the group's 15th anniversary, it is the quartet's first headlining concert tour since the All or Nothing World Tour (2014). Spanning twenty-seven shows across Asia, the Welcome Back Tour commenced at the Olympic Hall in Seoul on October 4, 2024, and concluded at the KSPO Dome on April 13, 2025.
On July 22, 2024, YG Entertainment officially announced the reunion of 2NE1 for their 15th debut anniversary, after having been disbanded for eight years since November 2016. It was announced that the group would embark on a world tour beginning in South Korea in October 2024, with shows slated to be scheduled in other regions within 2025, in response to the requests received from across the globe.
Three days later, it was unveiled that the tour would kick off at the Olympic Hall in Seoul, the venue which 2NE1 performed at for their first concert tour Nolza in August 2011. Fans expressed discontent regarding the venue's capacity after the announcements were made; in response, YG Entertainment issued a statement explaining that all larger venues in Seoul had "already been booked". It was announced the following day that 2NE1's Japanese fanclub, Blackjack Nolza, would be re-opened in early August.
On September 6, 2024, concert dates in Manila and Jakarta were announced, followed by Hong Kong and Singapore four days later, and Bangkok and Taipei on September 13. Dates in Kuala Lumpur, Ho Chi Minh City, and Macao were announced on November 6. On January 6, 2025, encore concerts in Seoul at the KSPO Dome were announced for April 12 and 13, 2025.
2NE1 aimed to capture the essence of their classic sound during the Welcome Back Tour by performing their songs in their original form. The group's leader, CL, expressed that this was in contrast to their previous tours, where they often presented rearranged versions of their songs or featured reworked choreography. Furthermore, the quartet actively crafted the concert's experience through their involvement in all of its aspects during its preparation, spanning from the setlist, stage design, choreography, and costumes, amidst others.
Demand for the Seoul concerts resulted in over 400,000 people vying for tickets accommodating 3,000 to 4,000 seats at the venue, thereby crashing the server. An additional concert was added for October 4, alongside the release of additional restricted-view seats for all three dates. All four initial shows in Japan were sold out within a day, therefore two additional shows were added. The shows in Jakarta and Singapore were sold out instantly after tickets went on sale, with over 200,000 users queuing for the latter concert. An additional show was added in both cities.
Over 350,000 users were recorded in the virtual queue for the Manila concerts, with both dates selling out immediately. On October 11, YG announced that all shows in Tokyo and Kobe were sold out. In Taiwan, all 18,000 tickets were sold out in 90 seconds after the general sale release. In Macao, over 300,000 users were recorded in the virtual queue, and all tickets were sold out.
The concerts in Seoul were attended by numerous K-pop artists, actors, and entertainers. The shows in 2024 attracted around 170,000 people from 16 shows. In total, the tour grossed an estimated US$44 million.
