TWICE In Vancouver

TWICE In Vancouver

TWICE In Vancouver was one of those nights you just know the city will be talking about for years. The nine member powerhouse finally made their way to Rogers Arena, marking their very first performance in Vancouver. The excitement was unreal as tickets disappeared in what felt like seconds. Calls for a second show were loud, and TWICE answered fans’ prayers. Somehow the stars aligned for fans to witness the North American run of the TWICE: THIS IS FOR WORLD TOUR right here in the city. Being there truly felt like winning the lottery, especially knowing just how badly Vancouver wanted this moment.

ONCE showed up in full force, and then some. The energy around the arena was so intense that staff actually had to issue warnings to fans hoping to camp overnight. Telling everyone to head home and come back at 8am the day of the show. That alone tells you how massive this concert was shaping up to be. By the time doors opened, light wands were glowing, excitement was buzzing, and the crowd was more than ready. And then the show began. From that first moment, it felt like stepping straight into a K-pop dream. Jaw dropping light displays lit up the arena, choreography hit with absolute precision, and the vocals were pitch perfect from start to finish. Every move, note, and visual felt carefully crafted but still full of heart. It was pure spectacle without ever losing that emotional connection. Calling this concert massive almost feels like I’m underselling it.

This Is For ONCE, This Is For TWICE

I’ll be the first to admit I’ve mostly been on the outside looking in when it comes to the K pop world. If you asked me before this show if I’d seen K pop Demon Hunters, I’d say yeah, and that’s probably where the conversation would end. Walking up to Rogers Arena completely changed that. Even before stepping inside, the level of dedication from fans was impossible to ignore. People were dressed as specific members, others proudly wore the red beanies straight out of the This Is For music video, and everywhere you looked someone was holding a wand fan glowing in anticipation. That wand fan quickly became the star of the crowd. Once the show began, they lit up in sync with the stage, turning the entire arena into a sea of coordinated light. It instantly elevated the experience, giving the night a larger than life feel. The closest comparison I can think of is Coldplay’s light up wristbands, where the crowd becomes part of the production instead of just watching it. Seeing that level of unity was honestly jaw dropping.

With over ten years in the industry, TWICE has built a global audience that’s hard to rival. They’ve surpassed ten billion streams and continue to climb, pulling in over twenty million monthly listeners. Watching them live, it’s easy to see why. Songs like The Feels, FANCY, and the recent THIS IS FOR hit with effortless confidence and crowd pleasing energy. Then came Strategy and TAKEDOWN from the K pop Demon Hunters soundtrack, a film that’s turned into one of the biggest phenomena of 2025. The second those tracks kicked in, Rogers Arena exploded. Fans sang along word for word, completely in sync with the group, turning the performance into a shared moment rather than just a concert. For someone who walked in curious, I walked out fully understanding the hype.

This Was For You Vancouver

The masterclass kicked off with a full blown hype up as fan favourite “Four,” sent the arena straight to its feet. No matter where you were sitting, all you could hear was the crowd. It was loud, overwhelming in the best way, and honestly felt like an assault on the senses. There was no easing into this night and that was exactly how everyone wanted it. When the intro video wrapped and the massive screen slowly rose from the ground. Revealing TWICE standing front and center, it was a moment that hit hard. This was the moment fans had waited ten years for. TWICE In Vancouver was finally happening. From there, it was clear the group didn’t come to mess around. The next two plus hours were pure K pop precision. Every era got its moment, and the fandom was fully fed with a massive 30 song setlist. The night launched with “THIS IS FOR,” and kept gaining momentum with tracks like “MAKE ME GO,” “OPTIONS,” and “MIDNIGHT SUNRISE.” The show unfolded in a four act structure, with the first two acts delivering exactly what fans hoped for, while acts three and four took some exciting turns that kept everyone locked in and guessing.

With last year marking ten years since their debut, TWICE celebrated the milestone with TEN: The Story Goes On. A compilation that spotlighted each of the nine members. That spirit carried straight into Vancouver as every member had their moment to shine. Solo stages like DIVE IN, MEEEEEE, ATM, and MOVE LIKE THAT gave the crowd a chance to focus their love one by one, and ONCE did not hold back. Between each act, the girls took time to speak from the heart, sharing their love for the fans, for each other, and how special it was to finally perform in Vancouver for the first time. I also have to give a massive shoutout to the live band, because they were absolutely flawless all night. They didn’t miss a beat and brought an extra layer of punch to every song. At one point, they even got their own moment in the spotlight with a solo that perfectly captured their chemistry and energy. It was one of those reminders that behind every massive pop production is a group of insanely talented musicians helping make the magic happen.

The Finale

The final act was, plain and simple, a full on spectacle. It kicked off with the insanely addictive “Fancy,” and from that moment on, the celebration never slowed down. “WHAT IS LOVE?,” “YES or YES,” “DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY,” and “ONE SPARK.” Followed, each one somehow louder than the last. The spark of celebration that ONCE lit earlier in the night was still burning bright. Even when the show briefly came to a halt before the encore, nobody was ready to stop. Fans filled the downtime with dance offs, smile challenges, and pure joy. The entire city was living for every second of it. Then the lights dropped once again and the roar said it all. Vancouver was treated to the tour debut of “SCIENTIST,” sending the crowd into another frenzy. Things wrapped up with yet another debut, “LIKEY,” a song even I knew from its days dominating pop radio. Honestly, there was no better way to close the night. Before leaving the stage, TWICE sealed the moment by taking a photo together, officially cementing TWICE In Vancouver in their history.

As thousands of fans poured out of Rogers Arena, I took a second to soak it all in. People were screaming, happy crying, and still singing at the top of their lungs. This was a night no one wanted to end. TWICE In Vancouver delivered pure joy from start to finish and turned into a truly historic moment for the city. For many fans, it was their first time seeing, but for many others, I know they can’t wait to experience the group… TWICE.
