TWICE Takes Over Los Angeles with a 360° Celebration of ONCE for THIS IS FOR

TWICE returned to Los Angeles with statement-making shows at the KIA Forum for four days ending on Sunday January 25th, 2026. They transformed the venue into a full-circle celebration with a 360-degree stage that placed the group at the very heart of the arena. From every angle, ONCEs were pulled into TWICE’s world—one built on confidence, gratitude, and nonstop energy.

The night opened with “INTRO: FOUR,” immediately setting a bold tone before flowing into the members appearance with “THIS IS FOR”. It kept strong with them going straight into “STRATEGY,” “MAKE ME GO,” “SET ME FREE,” and “I CAN’T STOP ME.” The opening run felt intentional and powerful, showcasing TWICE’s evolution while reminding fans why their discography continues to define eras.

“This Is for ONCE. This Is for TWICE.”

After the opening set, the members paused to introduce themselves and greet the roaring crowd. Dahyun shared that she was dealing with an injured ankle and would be seated for portions of the night, drawing immediate cheers of support from fans throughout the venue.

“This is for ONCE,” they said. “This is for TWICE,” the audience responds.

The sentiment carried directly into “OPTIONS” and “MOONLIGHT SUNRISE,” with the latter bathing the Forum in soft light as fans sang along. As the screens lowered, shimmering starlight filled the venue and dancers appeared across different parts of the stage, delivering dramatic, interpretive performances that added depth to the show’s narrative.

TWICE returned with “MARS,” “I GOT YOU,” and “THE FEELS,” re-energizing the crowd with infectious joy and polished choreography. Their connection with the audience felt effortless, amplified by the intimacy of the 360-degree setup.

TWICE’s Signature Crowd Control

Midway through the night, the group conducted a full venue vibe check—calling out each floor and making sure the energy stayed sky-high. Sana stole the moment when she playfully called out a fan who was on their phone instead of screaming, prompting loud boos from the audience and laughter from the members.

The mood shifted into darker, sultrier territory with “GONE,” “CRY FOR ME,” “HELL IN HEAVEN,” and “RIGHT HAND GIRL,” proving once again TWICE’s ability to balance fun and intensity with ease.

As the live band took the stage, the concert transitioned into one of the night’s most anticipated segments. Each member stepped forward to showcase her individuality through solo performances, turning the massive stage into an intimate spotlight.

Individual Colors Take the Spotlight

Tzuyu delivered elegance and poise with “Dive In,” while Mina followed with the icy emotional pull of “Stone Cold.” Nayeon’s “Meeeee” brought bright charisma, contrasted by Jeongyeon’s laid-back confidence in “Fix a Drink.”

Dahyun, performing while seated on her piano due to her injury, held the crowd’s full attention during “Chess,” while Chaeyoung’s “Shoot (Firecracker)” added sharp edge and attitude. Jihyo commanded the stage with powerhouse vocals in “ATM,” Sana exuded cool charm during “Decaffeinated,” and Momo closed the solo run with fluid precision in “Move Like That.” The section ended on a high note with a fierce unit performance of “Takedown” from K-Pop Demon Hunters by Jihyo, Chaeyoung, and Jeongyeon—one of the night’s most explosive moments.

Nostalgia, Lightsticks, and Pure Joy

Following a stunning VCR featuring the members in striking visuals, TWICE launched into fan-favorite hits “FANCY,” “WHAT IS LOVE,” and “YES OR YES.” During “YES OR YES,” Jihyo led a coordinated lightstick dance, with the section directly in front of her executing it flawlessly—earning proud smiles from the group.

“DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY” turned the Forum into a massive party, with fans jumping and singing as if the night could last forever. As the concert neared its final stretch, TWICE urged fans to stand up, let loose, and give everything they had left. That energy exploded during “ONE SPARK,” followed by a playful dance cam countdown to find the most hyped ONCE in the venue.

Encore: A Love Letter Between TWICE and ONCE

The encore began with “FEEL SPECIAL,” leading into a heartfelt fan video chronicling ONCE’s journey alongside TWICE. The members thanked fans who had been there since debut as well as those discovering them for the first time.

When Los Angeles shouted requests, “Talk That Talk” was by far the loudest. Jihyo joked about her voice giving out, but her members reassured her—telling her the deeper tone sounded “sexy” and that fans will promise to sing along with her.

They kept that promise. “TALK THAT TALK” echoed through the Forum, louder than ever.

A Final Bow, Together in Los Angeles

The dancers joined TWICE on stage for a final goodbye, forming a giant circle before bowing as one. The night closed with “TWICE SONG,” as confetti filled the air and the members danced freely, playing with fans and performers alike.

With heartfelt thanks and promises to return, TWICE left Los Angeles reminded—and reminding everyone else—why their bond with ONCE is truly something special. They still have a long tour to continue on with!
