South Korean girl group 2NE1 has embarked on three headlining concert tours, one of which is a worldwide tour. Their first concert appearance was at the "YG Family Concert" held in December 2010 in Seoul.[1] The group's first headlining tour was "Nolza!" and then "Nolza! in Japan", in support of their second Korean EP and their first Japanese EP, respectively, which reached over 70,000 people in Japan alone.[2]

The group then embarked on their first worldwide concert tour, the "New Evolution World Tour".[3] The tour's first stop was made in Seoul on July 28, 2012, and made its first international stop in the United States at the Prudential Center in Newark on August 17, which was followed by one more date at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles on August 24, 2012. The Nokia Theater stop made the group the first Korean girl group to rank on the Billboard Current Box Core, where they ranked #29 with an almost sold out concert.[4] The New Evolution tour expanded to the rest of Asia later that year, starting with Japan and concluding in Singapore at Singapore Indoor Stadium.[5]
In 2014, 2NE1 embarked on their second worldwide concert tour, the "All or Nothing World Tour", in support of their second studio album, Crush. The tour visited a total of 15 cities in 12 countries across East and Southeast Asia. The tour's began in Seoul, South Korea and concluded in Macao, China.
Concert tours
editYear | Title | Duration | Shows |
---|---|---|---|
2011 | Nolza! | August 26, 2011 – October 2, 2011 (South Korea, Japan) | 9 |
2NE1's debut concert tour, the Nolza! tour, supported their second extended play, 2NE1 2nd Mini Album, and its Japanese version, Nolza. Demand for concert tickets was huge in both countries it was held in; in South Korea, the first two concerts that were scheduled for the Olympic Hall were sold out instantly after opening. 60,000 people were recorded applying for only 8,000 available seats, therefore a third concert was added for August 26.[6] 300,000 applications for concert tickets were recorded for the Japanese leg of the tour, and all 70,000 available tickets were sold within a day.[7] Big Bang's G-Dragon, T.O.P., and Taeyang joined as guest performers on the tour. It was attended by 82,000 people in total. | |||
2012 | New Evolution Global Tour | July 28, 2012 – December 1, 2012 (Asia, United States) | 15 |
The New Evolution Global Tour was the first world tour by a K-pop girl group, and its concert at the Prudential Center in New Jersey marked the first time a K-pop girl group held an arena concert in the United States.[8] 15 shows were held across five countries in Asia and North America, with the first two concerts in Seoul in late July attracting 20,000 people. After performing in the U.S., the group held their second arena tour in Japan, where it was attended by about 120,000 people across nine concerts.[9] After the tour's conclusion, New York Times critics ranked the New Jersey show as the second best concert of the year.[10] In total, the tour attracted around 180,000 people.[11] | |||
2014 | All or Nothing World Tour | March 1, 2014 – October 17, 2014 (Asia) | 20 |
2NE1's third concert tour, titled All or Nothing (AON), was held in support of the group's second Korean-language studio album Crush. It stopped in multiple cities in Asia including South Korea, Japan, Philippines, China, Thailand, Indonesia, and others from March to October 2014. Prior to their debut, YG label-mate Winner performed as special guests during the tour during the concerts held in March to May. | |||
