2NE1 Announces Manila as the First Stop of Their Highly-Anticipated ‘Welcome Back 2024-25 Asia Tour’

K-pop legends 2NE1 are officially reuniting and making a grand return to the stage with their 2NE1 ‘Welcome Back 2024-25 Asia Tour,’ and Manila is set to be the tour’s first stop! The iconic group, known for their chart-topping hit “I Am The Best,” will kick off the highly-anticipated tour on November 16, 2024, in the Philippines, with further details about the venue expected to be announced soon.

Following their Manila show, the powerhouse quartet will head to Jakarta, Indonesia, for a performance on November 23, 2024. The tour will first launch with a three-day concert series in Seoul from October 4 to 6 before making stops in Osaka and Tokyo between late November and December 2024, and it will continue across Asia well into 2025.

While this marks their official reunion tour as a group, it’s not the first-time fans have seen 2NE1 on stage together since their disbandment. In a surprise appearance at Coachella 2022, members Sandara Park, Park Bom, and Minzy joined leader CL during her set under 88rising, treating festival-goers to a nostalgic performance of “I Am The Best.”

2NE1, who debuted under YG Entertainment on May 17, 2009, quickly rose to fame with their explosive debut single “FIRE,” solidifying their status as one of K-pop’s most influential girl groups. Throughout their career, they delivered a string of iconic hits, including “COME BACK HOME,” “Lonely,” and “I Don’t Care.” Despite member Minzy’s departure in 2016 and their official disbandment in 2017, 2NE1’s legacy remains untouchable. Their final release, “Goodbye,” served as an emotional farewell to fans, but this upcoming reunion tour promises to rekindle the fierce energy that made them legends.
