Will there be any Kpop female act who can do an all-stadium tors?

In my earlier posts, I indicated that even Spice Girls or Billie Eilish did not manage to do stadium tours; they did or do arena tours.

I did not check Madonna, Mariah Carey or Taylor Swift, since the only notable female soloist in Korean Pop cannot even sell an arena outside of Korea.

Blackpink has about 50:50 ratio of stadium and arena tours.

Twice has about 40:60 ratio of stadium and arena tours.

Yes, until last year no female singer in Korean pop did a stadium concert (Tokyo Dome is another animal), and until 2023 no female act relevant outside of Korea did a Stadium Concert , so it might be aiming too high too early, but given the rapid rise of 4th gen Kpop acts I think we might actually have a female idol doing an all-stadium tour across the world.

Ive and Lesserafim have more emphasis in Asia. Don't know about aespa but wasting last year was crucial.

So I think NewJeans and Baemon will have better chances for an all stadium tour around the world.

(Yes, I admit I mentioned the singer who will never be part of this discussion than the acts who are actual parts of the debate.)

U do know BP 2024-2025 world tour will be an all stadium affair right? (With the exception of maybe Philippines since they don't have stadiums usable for concerts)

When I reviewed the 2020 planned concert venue list of BTS, it did not intend to go to locations with no stadiums. So I think an all stadium concert means only going to locales with a stadium

Why would anyone want to limit their own venue options?

KPop companies tend to be more conservative on estimating the number of attendees since they don't want to spend money on venues with empty seats

Quote from selfmate

I don't think it's limiting but rather

1. certain venues just aren't available;

2. smaller venues are a less risker option since 'tis better to sell out a smaller venue than to have empty seats in a larger venue???

It is more of a planning isssue

And prior to 2022 company owners tended to have the notion that female acts could not sell stadium tours so they did not consider it

I don't know why kpop fans obsess with stadium tours so much.

You ever watch a performance in a stadium from the cheap seats? Better bring your binoculars.

I much prefer arenas.

It is like a show of force. An act has 'made it' if it can do a stadium concert

Quote from Armedryu

Idk sometimes large venues are not available at the exact date the groups want, logistic issues, partnerships, etc. Anyone would rather have 6 stadiums + 4 arenas instead of just 6 stadiums only eventhough technically speaking that is 60% stadiums vs 100% stadiums. It is always good to have options

It is about planning. One has to plan for at least a year ahead to have everything arranged.

I hope Blackpink in their next world tour.

Hope so. The earliest it will be is around late 2024but more likely 2025.

Quote from YamaChwan

I know it's for the clout.

I just prefer arenas over stadiums. The spectacle of a packed stadium is nice and all, but arenas feel a bit more intimate and special to me.

For fan meetings acts prefer arenas since they can be 'closer' to the fans. Yes this is to show how powerful they are to everyone in world
