Seventeen tops Pollstar's Asia touring chart

Boy band Seventeen earned $97.4 million in concert ticket sales to become Asia’s highest-grossing touring act over the past year, according to the U.S.-based music publication Pollstar. 

With 661,088 tickets sold, the 13-member group topped Pollstar’s Asia Focus Top Touring Artists chart, which covers data from Aug. 1, 2025, to July 31 this year, the band’s agency Pledis Entertainment said on Monday. 

JYP Entertainment’s girl group Twice and BigHit Music’s boy band Tomorrow X Together followed at No. 2 and No. 3, respectively. 

Last year, Seventeen ranked second on the chart, ahead of British rock band Coldplay. 

The group’s “New_” world tour opened in Incheon in September last year and played 22 shows for its Asia leg alone. It also sold out four shows at Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Stadium.

Seventeen’s meet and greets at Kyocera Dome Osaka and Tokyo Dome in Japan in May and Incheon Asiad Main Stadium in June also drew about 238,000 fans, according to Pledis Entertainment. 

Additionally, the band’s subunit Jeonghan X Joshua will open its six-city “Journey Into ‘Dreaming’” tour at Inspire Arena in Incheon from Oct. 30 to Nov. 1.
