As one of K-pop’s most iconic girl groups, TWICE is gearing up for a monumental celebration in 2026, marking their 10th anniversary since debuting in 2015. JYP Entertainment recently announced that the group will embark on a massive global tour titled 'TWICE: Decade of Dreams' to commemorate this milestone. With a decade of chart-topping hits, record-breaking achievements, and an unwavering bond with their fandom, ONCE, this tour promises to be a heartfelt tribute to their journey. Let’s dive into what fans can expect from this historic event and why TWICE continues to be a powerhouse in the K-pop industry.
A Decade of TWICE: From 'Like OOH-AHH' to Global Stardom
TWICE burst onto the scene on October 20, 2015, with their debut single 'Like OOH-AHH,' instantly capturing hearts with their vibrant energy and catchy melodies. Over the past ten years, the nine-member group—comprising Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu—has redefined what it means to be a K-pop girl group. With hits like 'Cheer Up,' 'TT,' 'Feel Special,' and 'Fancy,' TWICE has consistently dominated charts both in South Korea and internationally.
Their influence extends beyond music, as they’ve become cultural ambassadors for Korean pop culture, representing the Hallyu wave on a global scale. From sold-out dome tours in Japan to groundbreaking achievements on the Billboard charts, TWICE has proven time and again that they are a force to be reckoned with. As they approach their 10th anniversary, this global tour is not just a celebration of their music but also a testament to their enduring legacy.
'TWICE: Decade of Dreams' Tour: What We Know So Far
According to JYP Entertainment, the 'Decade of Dreams' tour will kick off in Seoul, South Korea, in mid-2026, with exact dates to be confirmed soon. The tour is expected to span multiple continents, including stops in North America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America, reflecting TWICE’s massive international fanbase. While the full list of cities hasn’t been released yet, fans are already speculating about potential venues based on the group’s previous world tours.
The agency has hinted that the setlist will be a nostalgic journey through TWICE’s discography, featuring fan-favorite tracks alongside potential new releases. Special stages, emotional VCRs, and interactive fan experiences are also in the works, ensuring that each concert feels like a once-in-a-lifetime event. ONCEs are particularly excited about the possibility of hearing live performances of deeper cuts and B-sides that haven’t been performed in years.
In addition to the concerts, JYP has teased exclusive anniversary merchandise, including limited-edition albums, photo books, and collectibles that celebrate TWICE’s 10-year journey. Fans are advised to keep an eye on official social media channels for ticketing details and pre-order information.
Why This Tour Matters: TWICE’s Impact on K-Pop and Beyond
TWICE’s 10th anniversary isn’t just a celebration for the group and their fans—it’s a significant moment for the K-pop industry as a whole. As one of the leading girl groups of the third generation of K-pop, TWICE has paved the way for countless other artists, breaking barriers and setting new standards for success. Their ability to maintain relevance and popularity over a decade is a rare feat in an industry known for its fast-paced trends and ever-changing landscape.
Moreover, TWICE has played a crucial role in popularizing K-pop among international audiences. Their English-language single 'The Feels' marked a historic milestone as the first K-pop girl group song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, and their subsequent releases have only solidified their global presence. The 'Decade of Dreams' tour will likely serve as a bridge connecting longtime fans with newer ONCEs who discovered the group through their more recent projects.

“TWICE has been with me through so many ups and downs,” one fan wrote on X. “I can’t believe it’s been 10 years already. I’m saving up to see them live for the first time during this tour!” Others have speculated about potential surprises, such as collaborations with other JYP artists or special guest appearances during the Seoul shows.
What’s Next for TWICE in 2026?
While the 'Decade of Dreams' tour is the centerpiece of TWICE’s 10th anniversary celebrations, there are whispers of additional projects in the pipeline. Industry insiders suggest that the group may release a special anniversary album or documentary series chronicling their journey from trainees to global superstars. Such content would undoubtedly resonate with fans who have followed TWICE since their debut on the reality show Sixteen.
Additionally, individual members may continue to explore solo endeavors in 2026. Over the past few years, members like Nayeon and Jihyo have made waves with their solo debuts, and fans are eager to see if others will follow suit. Regardless of what’s to come, one thing is certain: TWICE’s bond with each other and with ONCE remains as strong as ever.
