Riizing Day was the first concert tour by South Korean boy band Riize. The tour began on May 4, 2024, at Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul, South Korea, and held 31 shows across 19 cities in Asia and North America. The tour concluded on September 15 with three encore shows at the KSPO Dome in Seoul promoted as "Riizing Day Finale", featuring a revamped setlist, staging and costumes. Riize member Seunghan, who was on hiatus from the group at the time, did not participate in the tour.[1] The tour was a success, with many dates selling out immediately upon ticket availability.

Background and announcement

In February 2024, SM Entertainment confirmed to Dispatch that Riize was preparing for an upcoming tour that would start in Seoul on May 4.[2] On March 5, SM officially announced the tour, indicating that the Seoul dates would be at the Jamsil Indoor Stadium and that the tour would visit cities across Asia and North America in the upcoming months.[3] At the same time, it was also announced that the group would release a single and EP within the second quarter of the year.[4] At the group's concert in Tokyo on May 11, the group announced that they would be adding an additional leg to the tour, returning to Japan for a 9-city, 15-show tour beginning in July.[5]

After the group completed their first two dates in Seoul, SM announced that they would be returning to the city in September for a series of encore shows branded "Riizing Day Finale", with two dates at the KSPO Dome on September 14 and 15.[6] After the first two dates sold out immediately, an additional date was announced for September 13.[7]

On July 31, SM announced that the group's September 13 concert in Seoul would be broadcast live in cinemas around the world entitled, Riize Fan-Con Tour 'Riizing Day' Finale in Cinemas.[8]

In the days leading up to the start of the tour, Riize released several new songs that would be included in the concert's setlist: "Siren", "Impossible", "One Kiss", "Honestly", and "9 Days". These songs would later be included on the group's EP, Riizing.[9]

Ticketing

When tickets went on sale on March 13, both Seoul dates sold out immediately to members of the group's fan club, before ever being made available to the general public. In light of this, SM announced that the concert would be live streamed online via Beyond Live and Weverse for people who were unable to attend or get tickets to the show.[10][11] The Tokyo dates also sold out quickly, with over 500,000 people vying for the 24,000 available tickets. Additional restricted-view tickets later released.[5] The remainder of the Japanese leg of the tour also sold out quickly.[12]

The group's second round of shows in Seoul at the KSPO Dome also attracted considerable interest, with tickets for all dates again selling out during advance sales to the group's fan club.[13] The live broadcast of the September 13 concert in cinemas sold out in several locations, with over 40 theatres in Japan reporting to have sold out for the screening, and large queues forming outside the venues.[14]
