Following the two sold-out shows in Goyang, Korea, where they dazzled a total of 58,000 audience, SEVENTEEN returned to the U.S. concert stage for the first time in over two years at the Allstate Arena in Chicago. Reflecting the high demand for the group’s stage-breaking performances, the show sold out on the first day of the presale, and the arena was filled with fans eager to witness the band’s grand comeback—now with accolades like the Biggest-selling Global Album of 2023 and the First K-pop Act to Perform on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage.
SEVENTEEN delivered a 3-hour set packed with 22 songs from their celebrated discography including fan-favorites such as Super, God of Music, and Adore U. Known for their prowess as a self-produced group, SEVENTEEN opened with a compelling sequence, instantly drawing fans into a journey through their evolution. It began with a special rendition of Fear, representing their past struggles, moved into a reinforced version of Fearless, symbolizing their resilience, and ended with MAESTRO, a testament to their growth into global stage dominators.

One of the standout moments came when SEVENTEEN treated fans to a playful mini-musical inspired by their own YouTube series Going Seventeen, bringing tracks like Oh My! and Snap shoot to life in a fun, whimsical adventure through a jungle and the ocean.
As the night drew to a close, SEVENTEEN expressed heartfelt gratitude to their fans, CARATs, with JOSHUA saying, “Thank you so much for showing us endless love and support even if we’re not able to see each other often. We’ll definitely be back here soon so just wait for that. We love you.” S.COUPS added, “Until the thirteen of us are together again, let’s stay together and protect each other while enjoying ourselves.”
The energy peaked during their iconic never-ending performance of “VERY NICE” in the encore, as the band interacted closely with the crowd, visiting every corner of the venue while fans jumped up and down along with the song.
Not just that, SEVENTEEN will also make an appearance on Good Morning America on October 30. They will also bring an exclusive pop-up event, Carat Station NYC, on October 26, allowing fans to enjoy immersive experiences in a SEVENTEEN-themed world alongside their New York shows. In another exciting move, SEVENTEEN will be transforming Los Angeles into a concert play park with SEVENTEEN THE CITY Los Angeles. More surprises are expected to join in the fun, inviting fans to revel in the festivities surrounding the tour.
