HYBE JAPAN is all set to host ‘SEVENTEEN BE THE SUN THE CITY’ event in celebration with K-pop stage-breakers, SEVENTEEN’s first Dome Tour in Japan, turning Osaka, Tokyo and Nagoya into a concert play park.
Taking on the theme of the performance SEVENTEEN’s ongoing world tour BE THE SUN, the citywide project will light up the three cities with immersive fan experiences built around the band’s crowd-pulling shows. SEVENTEEN will play at Kyocera Dome Osaka on November 19 to 20, at Tokyo Dome on November 26 to 27, and complete the Japan leg of the tour at Vantelin Dome Nagoya on December 3 to 4.
In Osaka, a digital stamp rally across eighteen landmarks, including the HEP FIVE ferris wheel covered in SEVENTEEN graphics is set for roll out on November 12, and ‘rapi:t’ express trains wrapped in SEVENTEEN graphics will run through the city starting October 27. A highlight in Tokyo will be a SEVENTEEN-themed light display presented in collaboration with Tokyo Skytree, which will be lit up in orange, the theme color for their ongoing tour and ‘Rose Quartz & Serenity’, the band’s official color—every weekend from November 19 to December 4. A light display will also be a part of the excitement in Nagoya brightening up Sakae, alongside a photo exhibition about the tour.
HYBE Corporation’s THE CITY project, first launched for BTS’ four-night residency in Las Vegas for BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE – LAS VEGAS in April this year, will be held across multiple cities for the first time with SEVENTEEN.
SEVENTEEN made their grand return to the concert stage in June this year, with two sold-out shows, the largest show in the city with a live audience since the pandemic in Seoul, South Korea. After twelve shows in North America and seven shows in Southeast Asia to be followed by the Japan leg and two additional shows in Southeast Asia, the band is slated to present a total of twenty-nine shows in twenty-one cities for their BE THE SUN world tour.
