The TWICE 4th World Tour 'Ready To Be' is the K-pop girl group TWICE's fourth full-scale international concert series, launching in 2023 to support their EP of the same name. Following on from the massive 'TWICELIGHT' tour of 2019, this run marked the group's return to the global stage after a period of individual and collective growth, re-establishing their reputation as one of the most electric live acts in the industry.

Spanning multiple continents and dozens of cities, the tour served as both a celebration of TWICE's decade-long journey and a showcase of their most ambitious production to date—featuring elaborate stage mechanics, choreography that pushed the members' physical limits, and a setlist that wove together their signature pop anthems with the new material from the 'Ready To Be' era.

Background

By the time the 'Ready To Be' tour rolled out, TWICE had already cemented a particular kind of magic in live performance: the ability to make a stadium of tens of thousands feel like a single, breathing organism. Their choreography—built on the philosophy of 'feel-special' energy—was designed so that every beat landed in the audience's chest before it reached the ears. The 2023 tour amplified that philosophy to its fullest expression, with stage designs that shifted between intimate, almost conversational moments and full-scale pyrotechnic crescendos.

The 'Ready To Be' era itself carried a thematic weight for the group. After years of being framed by outsiders as 'the girl group that smiles,' the members leaned into a narrative of self-determination and collective strength. On stage, that translated into moments where the choreography deliberately broke from their usual synchronized precision into something rawer, more individual, before snapping back into unity. Fans noted the contrast as a sign of artistic maturity without sacrificing the infectious joy that defined their earlier concerts.

The tour also became a touchstone for the fandom, 'ONCE,' whose organized light-stick displays and synchronized chants had become a fixture of K-pop live culture. Several cities saw record-breaking attendance for a girl group concert in that venue's history, and the group's encores—often extending well past the scheduled end—became a ritual fans specifically traveled to witness.
