Seventeen Pollstar Asia Chart 2026: No. 1 With $97.4M
Seventeen sold 661,088 tickets in Asia between Aug. 1, 2025, and July 31, 2026, and grossed $97.4 million, the highest total on Pollstar's Asia Focus chart of top touring artists. A year earlier the group ranked second on the same chart, behind Coldplay.
K-pop held the next three places too. TWICE took second with $76.18 million, followed by TXT and BTS, which grossed $49.07 million from the Asian dates of its ARIRANG world tour, the Korea Times reported. BLACKPINK ranked eighth and ENHYPEN ninth, putting six K-pop acts in the chart's top 10.
Most of Seventeen's total came from its "NEW_" world tour, which opened in Incheon in September 2025 and ended in April. The Korea Herald counts up to 22 stadium and dome shows in Asia, including Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok, Bulacan in the Philippines and four Japanese domes. Pledis Entertainment says Seventeen became the first K-pop act to play four nights at Hong Kong's 50,000-capacity Kai Tak Stadium, and all four sold out. Dividing the gross by tickets sold gives an average of about $147 per ticket, a rough figure across markets with very different prices. Fan meetings in May and June at Kyocera Dome Osaka, Tokyo Dome and Incheon Asiad Main Stadium drew about 238,000 people.
That scale now comes with a thinner lineup. Jeonghan was discharged in June, but Wonwoo, Woozi, Hoshi, Vernon, DK and Mingyu are serving, and Seungkwan and Dino are expected to enlist on Oct. 26. The members who remain have worked in units. Jeonghan and Joshua released their first EP, "Dreamscape," on Monday.
The ranking lands next to two other sets of industry numbers. HYBE reported 647.7 billion won ($488.5 million) in concert revenue out of record second-quarter revenue of 1.45 trillion won. Physical album sales reached 79 million copies from January through September, according to Circle Chart, about 7.6 million more than a year earlier. The market needs roughly 21 million more in the final three months to reach 100 million for the first time since 2023, and September sales fell 38 percent from August.
The fourth-quarter calendar is built to close that gap. ATEEZ returns with "GOLDEN HOUR : Part.6" on Nov. 13, and TXT follows with "PERFECT STORM" on Nov. 16.
Seungkwan and Dino's expected enlistment on Oct. 26 comes four days before Jeonghan and Joshua open their "Journey Into (Dreaming)" concerts at Inspire Arena in Incheon, which run Oct. 30 through Nov. 1.
