TWICE, the all-girl K-pop group consisting of Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu, presented their “This Is For” world tour at the Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix, AZ on January 28, 2026. This show marks the first time TWICE has ever performed in Arizona, which is part of their 2026 North American run of shows, and they did not disappoint, neither did the fans.
With a sold-out venue filled with fans of all generations, TWICE presented a cinematic adventure, equipped with floating stages, cat walks, video walls, confetti, background dancers, synchronized dancing and multiple outfit changes. The evening was a curated showcase that focused on TWICE as a group but also as individual artists. TWICE performed popular hit songs and fan favorites throughout their decade’s long careers as well as individual performances (solo’s) from Tzuyu, Mina, Nayeon, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, Jihyo, Sana, Momo. There was even a special performance of the song “Takedown” by Jihyo, Chaeyoung and Jeongyeon (recorded audio), a song made popular by Netflix’s animated film KPop Demon Hunters.
The energy was electric, never a dull moment or a boring sight, throughout the stadium. Fans showed their love and excitement through chanting, cheering, dancing and waving their official TWICE Candybong Infinity light sticks in the air. The execution of the show and the performances were flawless, showing the fans how masterful and polished they are, exceeding expectations. The show never breaks stride, even when there is a short break, they would bring out background dancers to entertain, cut to the band playing a set doing guitar solos or even cutting to the crowd for fan interactions to show on the monitors.
TWICE kicked off the show with the recently released song “THIS IS FOR” of the album of the same name, erupting the stadium in a loud love filled cheer that penetrated every crevasse in the venue. There was never a quiet moment as fans kept their energy at the same level throughout the performances, UP TO THE MAX.
TWICE came loaded with a setlist to satisfy every fan in the audience, songs such as “Strategy”, “SET ME FREE”, “OPTIONS”, “MARS”, “The Feels”, “HELL IN HEAVEN”, “What is Love?”, “YES or YES” and “ONE SPARK”, to name a few. At about the halfway point of the show they moved into the individual performances, which added the cherry on top of the cherry, that was already on top.
These solo performances showcased each artist’s flavor and personality that they bring to the group as whole and to the performances. Tzuyu performed “DIVE IN” (shortened version), Mina performed “STONE COLD” (shortened version), Nayeon performed “MEEEEEE” (shortened version), Dahyun performed “CHESS” (shortened version), Chaeyoung performed “SHOOT (Firecracker)” (shortened version), Jihyo performed “ATM” (shortened version), Sana performed “DECAFFEINATED” (shortened version) and Momo performed “MOVE LIKE THAT” (shortened version).
