Boy band NCT Dream has decided to hold a concert next month to make up for last month's canceled concert.

SM Entertainment had initially announced that the boy band’s concert was canceled, rather than postponed.

The concert, titled “The Dream Show2 – In A Dream” will be moving to a bigger venue — the Jamsil Olympic Stadium in southern Seoul.

It will take place for two days, Sept. 8 and 9. The second day will be streamed live through Beyond LIVE.

The band’s second solo concert was originally scheduled for July 29 to 31 at Gocheok Sky Dome in western Seoul but was canceled after two members tested positive for Covid-19, much to the dismay of fans.

Buyers have already been refunded for the July concert, but SM Entertainment said those who purchased tickets for the original concert will have priority in purchasing the tickets from 8 p.m. on Aug. 17. Ticket sales for the general public begin at 8 p.m. on Aug. 24, while the official fan club sales begin on Aug. 22.

The concert will be NCT Dream’s first in-person solo concert in nearly three years and its first concert as a complete team of seven.
