Yoasobi concert chronology

The Yoasobi Asia Tour 2023–2024 was the second headlining concert tour and first overseas by Japanese duo Yoasobi. Consisting of eight shows, the tour began on December 1, 2023, in Hong Kong, China, as part of Clockenflap music festival, and concluded on January 21, 2024, in New Taipei City, Taiwan.

Background and ticketing[edit]

On September 19, 2023, Yoasobi announced their concert tour in Asia, visiting Hong Kong, Taipei, Seoul, Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur from December 1, 2023, to January 21, 2024, which shows in Hong Kong and Taipei on December 3 were part of music festivals Clockenflap and Simple Life Festival, respectively.[1] Ticket for original Seoul show, holding at Tiger Dome, Korea University, went on sale on October 4,[2] and on October 18 for additional show on December 17 due to overwhelming demand.[3] The duo announced venue for Taipei own show on October 23, being Zepp New Taipei. Taipei show tickets went on sales on October 28.[4] All three shows were sold out in one minute.[5][6][7]

On November 25, Sozo, the tour's promoter in Southeast Asia, revealed venues for shows in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, which were Zepp Kuala Lumpur and Resorts World Sentosa, and announced addition show in Jakarta, to hold on January 16 at Istora Senayan.[8][9] The three shows went on sale on December 1. For the Singapore show, numerous fans reported that during ticket paying process by Ticketmaster, personal information, such as name, e-mail address, and phone number, got leaked by showing the others instead of their owns.[10] The second day of Seoul show footage was included on the duo's video album The Film 2, released on April 10, 2024.[11]

Critical reception[edit]

For Clockenflap show, Clash's Bryson Edward Howe called Yoasobi's stage a "magnetic communion".[12] JX Soo from NME praised that the performance was "not disappointed" and "impeccabl[e]" production.[13] Hwang Sun-up of IZM described that the Seoul shows "were like watching a racehorse running at full speed from start to finish, to the point where it seemed like a strategy targeting Generation Z, who have difficulty concentrating."[14] The Straits Times journalist Jan Lee admired the Singapore show "an efficient 90-minute party with almost no breaks and filled to the brim with good songs," and, during upbeat songs, "the atmosphere was almost akin to a nightclub rave instead of a concert."[15]
