Currently, the 'Seventeen World Tour [NEW_]' is ongoing with a total of 29 shows across 14 cities worldwide.

ENHYPEN generated $76.1 million in revenue from a total of 25 performances. They sold out all seats in the U.S. and Europe and achieved the milestone of performing at Tokyo Ajinomoto Stadium and Osaka Yanmar Stadium in Japan. They are recognized as a global top tour artist within five years of their debut.
