Twice, featured in K-Pop Demon Hunters, brings world tour to Austin

K-pop group Twice is coming to Austin on Friday, April 17, 2026.
A band enjoying renewed success on the Billboard Hot 100 chart is heading to Austin, although some new fans of their music might not know much about the group. Twice, who contributed to the smash hit, direct-to-streaming movie K-Pop Demon Hunters, will play Austin's Moody Center on Friday, April 17, 2026.
The 2026 World Tour stars January 9 in Vancouver, British Columbia, and for now ends on March 21 in Taipei. In addition to the Austin show, Twice will be hitting the American Airlines Center in Dallas on Saturday, January 31. Austin is a new date on a previously announced tour.
The K-pop group is touring in support of their fourth full-length album, This is For, which debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. The band were the first female K-Pop group to headline both MLB and NFL stadiums, according to a press release, and were also the first to headline a U.S. stadium.
Twice has two songs on the K-Pop Demon Hunters soundtrack: Their own song, "Strategy," and a rendition of an original song written for the film, "Takedown." "Strategy" played early in the film when the fictional band Huntr/x returns home after a show and looks forward to some down time that they never get.
"Takedown" had a strong narrative importance in the film. Without spoilers, this track embodies the central struggle in the film before it is resolved. Twice recorded a cover version that played over the end credits and some behind-the-scenes footage during recording.
The Twice version of "Takedown" and "Strategy" peaked at No. 50 and 51 on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively, and are currently at No. 68 and 69.
This tour is special not just because of the enormous popularity of K-Pop Demon Hunters, but because the band will be performing on a 360-degree stage — that means fans should be able to enjoy the show equally, no matter where they're sitting.
The nine-member band — featuring Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu — will perform “The Feels,” “More & More,” “Fancy,” “Strategy," and other hits in an all-new stage show.
North American ticket sales start with an artist presale Thursday, October 9, at 11 am ET. Fans must sign up to tie in their Ticketmaster account at livemu.sc/twice by Monday, October 6, at 7 pm ET. Remaining tickets will go to a general on-sale beginning Thursday, October 9, at 3 pm at LiveNation.com.
