2NE1 concert chronology |
The Nolza! tour was the debut concert tour by South Korean girl group 2NE1. The tour supported their second extended play (EP), 2NE1 2nd Mini Album (2011), and its Japanese version, Nolza. Members of Big Bang, Taeyang and GD & TOP, joined the tour as guest performers. Spanning nine dates in South Korea and Japan, tickets for all shows were quickly sold out, with media outlets reporting over 300,000 people applying for tickets in Japan.
The Japanese leg of the tour attracted a total of 70,000 attendees, drawing the largest amount of spectators for a debut concert tour by a Korean artist in Japan at the time. A live album DVD from the concerts in South Korea was released by YG Entertainment in November 2011, which reached number four on the Gaon Album Chart and number one on the Taiwanese G-Music DVD chart. A live album of the concerts in Yokohama was released in February 2012.
Background
[edit]Two concerts were initially scheduled at the Olympic Hall in Seoul for August 27 and 28, 2011, with both shows being sold out instantly. 60,000 people were recorded applying for only 8,000 available seats, therefore a third concert was added for August 26.[1][2] Interest was also huge for the Japanese leg of the tour, with up to 300,000 people reportedly applying for concert tickets.[3] Due to the amount of interest in Japan, tour organizers considered adding an additional concert at the Tokyo Dome.[4]
A concert in Bangkok, Thailand, which was scheduled for October 29, was cancelled due to the effects of the 2011 Thailand floods.[5]
Commercial performance
[edit]A total 70,000 people attended the six concerts in Japan[6][7] and all available seats were sold out on the same day of the general release on September 4, 2011. It was the largest debut concert tour in the country by a K-pop group at the time.[3] The final show in Chiba at the Makuhari Messe on October 2, 2011, was attended by 12,000 people. Billboard noted that "Hundreds of fans unable to enter the sold out venue milled around on the perimeter, staying for the entire show despite having no chance of seeing the performance."[6]
Media outlets estimated that the Japanese leg of the tour alone garnered a total of over US$9 million in sales.[8]
