Girl group Twice added six more performances to its fifth world tour, “Ready to Be,” in North America and Australia, agency JYP Entertainment announced on Friday.
 
Twice will now perform an extra day each in Sydney on May 2, Melbourne on May 7, Oakland on June 12, Houston on June 25, Chicago on June 29 and Toronto on July 3.
 
The decision to add more performances came after tickets for most performances sold out not long after sales started. The girl group also became the first K-pop girl group to have its tickets sold out at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, as of Wednesday.
 
Twice will be beginning their world tour on April 15 and 16 at the KSPO Dome in Songpa District, southern Seoul. The girl group will be holding 23 performances in a total of 14 cities: Seoul, Sydney, Melbourne, Osaka, Tokyo, Los Angeles, Oakland, Seattle, Dallas, Houston, Chicago, Toronto, New York and Atlanta.
 
The second tour itinerary for Twice’s fifth world tour will also be announced shortly, where the girl group is expected to announce plans to stop in Asian and or European cities.
 
Twice released its 12th EP “Ready to Be” on March 10 with lead track “Set Me Free.” The new album landed in second place on the Billboard 200 albums chart with 153,000 equivalent album unit sales, an all–time high for any K-pop girl group. Equivalent album unit sales are comprised of physical album sales and other digital records combined.
 
The girl group also became the best-selling Korean female act in pure album sales in U.S. history according to chart data on Tuesday.
