Twice – Capital One Arena – Washington, DC – February 13, 2026

Twice brought their massive “This Is For” World Tour to the nation’s capital this week, marking an electric first-ever performance in Washington D.C. with a sold-out, two-night special event. From the moment fans entered Capital One Arena, the atmosphere was a full-scale celebration, complete with massive merch hubs and curated photo backdrops of the nine members.

The production itself was a technological marvel: a sprawling 360-degree stage connected by intricate catwalks to secondary B and C stages, ensuring every seat in the house had a front-row view. Above it all hung a spectacular floating video board, while hydraulic risers lifted the group twenty feet into the air, creating some of the most striking visual moments in K-pop history.

If you wanted to start a show with a bang, opening with the line, “This is for all the ladies that don’t get hyped enough,” was the perfect choice. The resulting roar from the crowd rivaled the legendary energy of an Alex Ovechkin goal, setting a high bar for the rest of the night. The group wasted no time diving into “Strategy,” their hit song that eventually collaborated with Megan Thee Stallion and was featured in the K-Pop Demon Hunters film.

The first half of the show was a masterclass in versatility, effortlessly shifting from the sultry, dark elegance of “Cry For Me” to the sheer pop euphoria of “The Feels.” Between the show’s five acts, high-energy backup dancers and acrobats kept the momentum surging during costume changes, ensuring there was never a dull moment.

A major highlight of the night was the powerhouse performance of “Takedown” by Jeongyeon, Jihyo, and Chaeyoung. The trio’s stage presence was undeniable, proving that while the Huntrix girls may rule the animated world of their soundtrack, Twice reigns supreme in the real one.

The incredible energy of the tour is even more impressive considering the group is currently performing as eight; Dahyun was forced to return to Korea to recover from a fractured ankle. While her presence was deeply missed, the members filled the stage with even more heart, turning the evening into a moving 10-year anniversary party. It was a professional, high-octane reminder of Twice’s staying power. Secure your tickets now because this is a celebration you don’t want to miss.
