NCT 127 opened their fifth headlining tour, Neo City: The Redline, with a sold-out three-night run in Seoul that doubled as a celebration of the group’s 10th anniversary. The five-member K-pop act performed at KSPO Dome in Olympic Park from September 18–20, 2026, with all shows, including restricted-view seats, selling out completely and drawing roughly 31,500 fans, according to SM Entertainment.
The group delivered ambitious staging throughout the set. The opening number, Legacy, featured members descending through the air on wires, while Punch was staged against a boxing-ring-style arena setup with a large troupe of dancers. For Piñata, members arrived onstage in a real vehicle. Leader Taeyong debuted a newly written rap verse for the fan-favorite Cherry Bomb, reflecting the group’s evolution over the past decade. The set built to an extended medley of hits including Fire Truck, Fact Check and Kick It, interwoven with tracks from the group’s newest album.
Members Jungwoo and Doyoung, who are currently completing mandatory military service, made a surprise appearance in the audience on the final night. Doyoung brought a rice cake he had prepared to mark the group’s 10th debut anniversary.
NCT 127 debuted in 2016 as the Seoul-based sub-unit of the larger group NCT and has become one of K-pop’s most commercially successful acts in the U.S. The group first reached the top five of the Billboard 200 with 2020’s Neo Zone, which peaked at No. 5 and became their first album to sell more than one million copies. Its 2021 follow-up Sticker debuted at No. 3, then the highest-charting K-pop album of the year in the U.S., and 2022’s 2 Baddies also reached the top five. Their most recent full-length, 2024’s Walk, debuted at No. 3.
The Neo City: The Redline tour continues across Asia through January 2027, with dates set for Jakarta, Hong Kong, Singapore, Saitama, Bangkok, Manila, Taipei and Kuala Lumpur.
