As a huge fan of Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, to help them share their message was an honor. The interview teaser alone received over 25k views, including on TikTok. UB's post on incarcerated R&B Singer Suavé also went viral and was helpful to the fallen stars family when it reached them.

Where to buy Twice tickets: Prices for the US, Australia, Japan, and more
Twice fans, known as Once, are overjoyed as Twice has started their 6th world tour. The group announced the first part of the This Is For world tour, which will bring the girl group to major cities across Asia and Australia. Fans in other parts of the globe don't need to worry, however, as more dates and locations will be added to the tour for 2026 when they announce part two. I've gathered everything we know about how to get Twice tickets below, and be sure to keep tabs on this story for updated details as they go live. The This Is For world tour is in support of their newest album of the same name. This Is For album is Twice's fourth studio album and was released on May 19, 2025. The album contains 14 songs, five of which are sub-unit tracks, songs performed by only a few of the girls as opposed to the entire group. Twice is a South Korean girl group formed by JYP Entertainment. It debuted in October 2015 after the group was formed on the reality survival show Sixteen. The girl group has nine members: Jihyo, Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu. If you're looking for how to get tickets to Twice's 2025 tour, then we've got you covered. Here's our breakdown of the 2025 This Is For World Tour schedule, purchasing details, and price comparisons between resale and original tickets. You can also browse concert and ticket specifics at your convenience on StubHub and Vivid Seats. Twice's 2025 tour schedule The This Is For world tour started in Korea, and the next concert is scheduled for August 23 in Aichi, Japan. The tour will see Twice in major cities across Asia through the end of summer and start of fall, with four shows scheduled in Australia in early November before the girls return to Asia for the rest of the year. The last known concert date for the tour is December 14 in Bangkok; however, part two of the tour has not been announced yet, so we don't currently know when or where the tour will come to a close.

How to buy tickets for Twice's 2025 concert tour You can buy standard original tickets for Twice's This IS For world tour on Live Nation. For each concert date, ticket presale goes live the day before that can be registered for a day in advance. Original tickets have sold out for each concert date so far, which is a trend we expect to continue, so it is recommended to sign up for presale if you're looking to nab original tickets. Tickets to Twice's 2025 concert tour can also be purchased through verified resale ticket vendors like StubHub and Vivid Seats. Given how quickly original tickets have been selling, you may find better luck with seating variety and availability on these sites after the seats go live. Original ticket sales have not gone live for all ticket dates, so not all dates are available on StubHub yet. It's also important to note that resale tickets for Twice's 2025 shows in Asia and Australia aren't available to purchase on Vivid Seats. How much are Twice tickets? Ticket prices for the original This Is For world tour aren't available to check before ticket sales start at each location; however, on average, tickets to see Twice perform live have historically ranged anywhere between $200 and $300 or $500 to $600, depending on date and location. Of the tickets available on StubHub as of writing, the lowest-cost tickets to Twice's Japan shows range from $294 for the August 23 show in Aichi to $459 for the Fukuoka show on August 30. Who is opening for Twice's tour? Twice does not have any opening acts for its This Is For world tour, which is standard for K-pop concerts. When the show time begins, the girls of Twice will appear onstage. Will there be international tour dates? All of the concert dates announced so far for the This Is For world tour are international concerts. For part one of the tour, there are 15 more shows in major cities across Asia and four shows scheduled for major cities in Australia. We don't know yet what additional countries will be added to the tour for part two, but we will provide more information once it becomes available. Who are the Twice members? Twice consists of nine members who have been with the group since it formed in 2015 through the TV survival program Sixteen. The members include: Jihyo is the leader of the girl group and one of the primary vocalists. Nayeon is the center of the group, so she is in the middle position for most choreography. She is also a vocalist, dancer, and one of the group's visuals. Jeongyeon is one of the lead vocalists for the girl group. Momo is the group's lead dancer and acts as a backup vocalist and rapper. Sana is a vocalist for the girl group. Mina is one of the main dancers and vocalists for the group. Dahyun is one of the two main rappers as well as a vocalist for the group.

It's Finally Time for the Arrival of ‘Alien: Earth'
In space, no one can hear you stream. Alien: Earth, the first-ever television series in the Alien franchise, will make landfall on FX and Hulu starting August 12. Emerging from the mind of television producer and author Noah Hawley, Alien: Earth is primed to end the lackluster summer TV season on a high note. Set two years prior to the events of the 1979 classic Alien, Alien: Earth follows a special young woman, a "hybrid" synthetic named Wendy (Sydney Chandler) who leads a group of other synthetics to the crash site of the spaceship Maginot. There, in the middle of densely populated Southeast Asia, Wendy and her corporate overlords discover a terrifying threat to all living things on Earth. In Esquire's review by Josh Rosenberg, Alien: Earth is "thrilling" and "surprisingly gruesome for TV" while still remaining an intelligent thriller that speculates humanity's relationship to the scientific unknown. Writes Rosenberg: "Alien: Earth may share much of its DNA with Jurassic Park and Westworld, but there's much more material to chew on than whether characters survive. Much like creating an Ex Machina–esque AI woman that only serves you if it remains in her best interests, the threat that any little hiccup from our planet's megacorporations could unlock world-ending carnage is far scarier than the ensuing bloodbath." We're in the midst of a renaissance for both the Alien and Predator franchises, with last year's Alien: Romulus bringing Xenomorphs back to the big screen and the upcoming Predator: Badlands, in theaters this November, teeing up a whole new batch of Alien vs. Predator crossover movies. While Alien: Earth is stand-alone and doesn't seem to have any direct connections with Predator: Badlands, don't be surprised if a stray Easter egg or two spits in your face. How to Watch Alien: Earth Alien: Earth will premiere on the cable channel FX at 8 p.m. ET/PT on August 12. It'll also stream on Hulu (for U.S. subscribers) and Disney+ (for those outside the U.S.) at 8 p.m. ET on August 12. The first two episodes will debut this Tuesday night, with each successive episode premiering weekly until September 23. Below, we have the full release schedule for Alien: Earth. Episode 1: "Neverland" — August 12 Episode 2: "Mr. October" — August 12 Episode 3: "Metamorphosis" — August 19 Episode 4: "Observation" — August 26 Episode 5: "In Space, No One..." — September 2 Episode 6: "TBA" — September 9 Episode 7: "TBA" — September 16 Episode 8: "TBA" — September 23 You Might Also Like Kid Cudi Is All Right 16 Best Shoe Organizers For Storing and Displaying Your Kicks
