All of the shows will have the stage set in a circular shape so as to utilize all 360 degrees of the venue, according to the agency.

The new tour comes a year after Twice met with some 1.5 million people around the world through its "Ready to Be" tour, through which the band put on 51 performances in 27 regions around the world.

Twice will release its fourth full-length album "This is for" on July 11 ahead of the tour. The band is also set to headline the Lollapalooza Chicago music festival on Aug. 2.
