BOYNEXTDOOR has officially entered the concert phase of the biggest run of their career. “KNOCK ON Vol. 2” is the K-pop sextet’s first world tour, and it’s already delivering on its promise: sold-out shows in Seoul, a six-city sweep through Japan, and — for the first time ever.
A full-scale run across North America that lands the group at Madison Square Garden’s Infosys Theater in New York this November.
For a group that debuted under HYBE’s KOZ Entertainment in 2023, this tour represents a clear turning point. It’s the moment BOYNEXTDOOR stops being a rising act with international buzz and becomes a genuine global touring artist.
Here’s everything confirmed so far — the full city list, ticket sale details, venue information, and the context behind why this run matters.
The tour kicks off: Seoul sells out, Japan follows
“KNOCK ON Vol. 2” opened with three nights at Seoul’s KSPO Dome, running July 17 through July 19. All three shows sold out during the pre-sale window, a strong early signal of how much the group’s fanbase has grown since their debut.
The Seoul kickoff reportedly drew more than 31,000 attendees combined across the three nights, and reports from the shows described a set that balanced the group’s usual high-energy choreography with unexpectedly tender, gratitude-themed moments.
A fitting emotional register for a tour built around the concept of “home.”
That concept traces directly back to the group’s first full-length studio album, “HOME,” released in June.
The album marked BOYNEXTDOOR’s debut on the LP format after a string of successful EPs, and its themes — memory, comfort, and self-definition — are woven throughout the “KNOCK ON Vol. 2” setlist.
The album’s singles, including “Viral” and the surprise-released “Ddok Ddok Ddok,” have anchored the group’s chart performance heading into the tour, and the record’s release timing was clearly built to align with the start of this run.
After Seoul, the tour heads to Busan before moving into its Japanese leg, which spans six cities: Kanagawa, Saga, Osaka, Miyagi, Nagano, and Chiba.
This is the largest international footprint BOYNEXTDOOR has attempted, more than doubling the scale of their debut tour, “Knock On Vol. 1,” which was confined entirely to Asia across 2024 and 2025.
North America: the tour’s biggest milestone
The headline news for many fans outside Asia is the North American leg — the first time BOYNEXTDOOR has ever mounted a full tour across the continent.
The group has performed at U.S. festivals before, but this is their first dedicated run of headline shows in North American venues, and it’s substantial: ten cities across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Here is the complete confirmed North American routing:
- October 30 — Dallas, TX — The Bomb Factory
- November 1 — Pompano Beach, FL — Pompano Beach Amphitheater
- November 4 — Chicago, IL — The Salt Shed
- November 7 — New York, NY — Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden
- November 10 — Toronto, ON — Queen Elizabeth Theatre
- November 13 — Vancouver, BC — Queen Elizabeth Theatre
- November 15 — Seattle, WA — Showbox SoDo
- November 17 — San Francisco, CA — The Warfield
- November 20 — Los Angeles, CA — Peacock Theater
- November 24 — Mexico City, MX — Arena Ciudad de México
The New York stop deserves particular attention. BOYNEXTDOOR will play the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden — one of the more prestigious mid-sized venues in the city’s live music circuit — on November 7.
For a group whose first-ever North American headline tour is happening in the same year as their debut studio album, landing an MSG-affiliated venue is a significant marker of how quickly their overseas fanbase has scaled.
The Mexico City date closes out the North American leg and reflects the growing footprint K-pop acts have built in Latin America over the past several years.
Arena Ciudad de México is one of the largest indoor venues in the region, and its inclusion signals that BOYNEXTDOOR’s promoters see real demand for the group beyond the traditional U.S.-and-Canada axis.
How ticket sales unfolded
Tickets for the North American leg followed a now-familiar K-pop rollout structure, layered around the group’s official fan membership program:
- ONEDOOR Membership Presale applications were open from Thursday, June 18 at 8 AM KST through Monday, June 22 at 12 PM KST. Fans needed to hold or purchase a ONEDOOR global membership through the Weverse shop to qualify.
- The presale itself ran from Wednesday, June 24 at 4 PM local time through Thursday, June 25 at 10 PM local time, giving verified members first access to seats before the general public.
- General on-sale opened Friday, June 26 at 4 PM local time across all ten North American cities, handled through a mix of Ticketmaster, AXS, AdmitONE, and Superboletos depending on the market.
Each city’s onsale was staggered by local time zone rather than a single simultaneous drop, which is standard practice for tours of this size and helps prevent server overload across multiple ticketing platforms at once.
Given how quickly the Seoul shows sold out, demand for the North American presale window was heavy, particularly for the New York and Los Angeles dates.

Beyond North America: what’s still to come
“KNOCK ON Vol. 2” doesn’t end in Mexico City. The tour continues into Asia later in the year, with additional confirmed stops in Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Taipei, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Bangkok, extending the run into early 2027.
Full dates and venue details for this closing Asia leg have not yet been announced, but the confirmed city list already makes “KNOCK ON Vol. 2” the most geographically ambitious tour of BOYNEXTDOOR’s career by a wide margin — 34 shows across 24 cities in total, more than doubling the scope of “Knock On Vol. 1.”
For context, that debut tour ran from December 2024 through July 2025, comprising 23 shows across 13 Asian cities.
“KNOCK ON Vol. 2” isn’t just an expansion — it’s a fundamental shift in scale, moving the group from an Asia-focused touring act into genuine world-tour territory within roughly a year and a half of their first headline run.
Why this tour matters for BOYNEXTDOOR
BOYNEXTDOOR — consisting of members Sungho, Riwoo, Jaehyun, Taesan, Leehan, and Woonhak — debuted in May 2023 as the first act signed to KOZ Entertainment, the label founded by producer and former Block B member ZICO.
Since then, the group has built a track record of chart success: their debut EP landed on the Billboard 200, their subsequent EPs continued to chart internationally, and their momentum culminated in the release of “HOME,” their first full studio album, earlier this year.
The album’s rollout was accompanied by strong showings at the 35th Seoul Music Awards, where the group took home four major honors, including Best Album and World Best Artist.
That accumulated momentum is exactly why “KNOCK ON Vol. 2” carries so much weight. A first world tour is often the moment a K-pop act’s international fanbase gets tested in the most concrete way possible — through ticket demand in cities where the group has never performed live before.
Sold-out shows in Seoul and heavy presale demand in North America both suggest that BOYNEXTDOOR’s audience has grown well beyond a purely domestic or Asia-based base.
For fans in the cities on this North American routing, the practical next steps are straightforward: check resale and remaining inventory through each city’s designated ticketing platform, watch for official updates on the closing Asia leg, and expect setlists built heavily around “HOME,” alongside fan favorites from the group’s earlier EPs.
With the Seoul and early Japan dates already delivered on the tour’s emotional promise, expectations are high for how the North American crowds — many seeing the group live for the first time — will respond when the tour lands stateside this fall.
