TWICE makes a triumphant return to Dallas and performed at the American Airlines Center, where they lit up the night with a high energy performance.
On Saturday, January 31, 2026, TWICE performed at the American Airlines Center in Dallas for the first of two nights in Texas. Having last performed in Dallas on the READY TO BE Tour in 2023, TWICE has distinguished the THIS IS FOR Tour as an undeniable attraction. Featuring a new 360-degree stage and solo stages from their latest album, TWICE offers a new experience for both established and newer fans alike.
The first set began with roaring cheers to performances of TWICE’s recent releases “THIS IS FOR” and “Strategy.” The members were gathered on stage, singing and dancing in unison, with the exception of Dahyun, who was seated due to a persisting ankle injury, and Jihyo, who was recovering from a cold.
Upon introducing themselves, the members of TWICE voiced their disbelief at their proximity to fans, thanks to the size of the venue. Greetings were sweet, and fans welcomed each member with cheers and applause.
The stage expertly aided in shifting the mood throughout the show, as the dark blue elements of “OPTIONS” faded into a gorgeous transition of orange and pink clouds for “MOONLIGHT SUNRISE.” Paired with countless lightsticks pulsing in the crowd, the performance made for a truly immersive experience. A brief interlude showcased celestial imagery, perfectly setting the tone for MARS, an upbeat, 80s synth song.
The 360 stage uses its 9 central platforms cleverly, each rising and falling individually to create a captivating focus showcasing each member. Additionally, the choreography integrated dancer subunits to frame members well.
The third set was a stunning showcase of each of the 9 members through shortened solos from TEN: The Story Goes On, with the exception of Chaeyong, who opted to perform “SHOOT (Firecracker)” from her solo album LIL FANTASY vol. 1. Each solo stage allowed each member to shine and felt well-integrated into the show overall. TWICE’s energy grew throughout each set. Jihyo, who was seated for the majority of the first half acts, expertly carried out her solo performance of ATM and continued to dance through the remainder of the show.
Together, Jeongyeon, Jihyo, and Chaeyoung, performed TAKEDOWN from the Netflix film KPop Demon Hunters providing an energetic end that properly propelled the performance into its final set. Mesmerizing visuals of kaleidoscopic elements and mirror effects gave way to performances of fan favorites such as FANCY, What is Love?, and YES or YES.
Following “ONCEVISION,” a brief camera segment highlighting random individuals who participated in dance-offs, TWICE returned to perform an encore. This encore performance included “Feel Special” and “Doughnut,” allowing TWICE and their fans to share.
