TVXQ (under SM Entertainment) is returning to the Yokohama Nissan Stadium, the largest concert venue in Japan. This will be an unprecedented ‘third’ solo concert for an overseas artist.
On November 24, during the last performance of a fan event held at Kobe World Memorial Hall to celebrate their 20th anniversary in Japan, TVXQ surprised fans by announcing the ‘TVXQ 20th Anniversary LIVE IN NISSAN STADIUM RED OCEAN’ to be held on April 25-26, 2026, at Yokohama Nissan Stadium.
This concert is particularly significant as it marks TVXQ's return to the same stage after being the first overseas artist to enter Nissan Stadium in 2013, and then achieving the first-ever three consecutive performances in Japanese concert history in 2018. With the confirmation of their third Nissan Stadium concert, TVXQ has set a record for the ‘first and most’ performances at Nissan Stadium by an overseas artist, once again proving their unparalleled status in Japan. Thus, TVXQ has become the only group to simultaneously hold the title of ‘most performances by an overseas artist at Tokyo Dome and nationwide dome tours’ along with the first and most performances at Nissan Stadium.
Even after surpassing 20 years since their debut, they continue to showcase top-tier ticket power and audience mobilization, maintaining their status as ‘long-run legends’. On April 27 of this year, coinciding with their 20th anniversary in Japan, TVXQ held a commemorative performance at Tokyo Dome, and next April, they will conclude their 20th anniversary project with a grand finale at Nissan Stadium. The ‘RED OCEAN’ performance, which will be presented in a super-large stadium accommodating approximately 75,000 people per show and over 150,000 over two days, has raised expectations among local and global fans regarding its scale and production.
Meanwhile, TVXQ is set to release a film commemorating their 20th anniversary in Japan titled ‘TVXQ 20th Anniversary Film 「IDENTITY」’ on February 20, 2026. Alongside the Nissan Stadium live performance, the film is expected to shine a light on TVXQ's 20-year journey, continuing their presence as a ‘legend class’ group.
