The Nolza! tour was the debut concert tour by Korean group 2NE1.[1] The tour supported their second extended play, 2NE1 (2011), and its Japanese version, Nolza. Members of Big Bang, Taeyang and GD & TOP, joined the tour as guest performers. An intended show in Bangkok, Thailand was cancelled due to flooding.[2]

Background

Two concerts were initially scheduled at the Olympic Hall in Seoul for August 27 and 28, 2011, with both shows being sold out instantly. 60,000 people were recorded applying for only 8,000 available seats, therefore a third concert was added for August 26.[3] Interest was also huge for the Japanese leg of the tour, with up to 300,000 people reportedly applying for concert tickets. Due to the amount of interest in Japan, tour organizers considered adding an additional concert at the Tokyo Dome.[4]

A total 70,000 people attended the six concerts in Japan[5] [6] and all available seats were sold out on the same day of the general release on September 4. It was the largest debut concert tour by a Korean group at the time.[7] The final show in Chiba at the Makuhari Messe (October 2) was attended by 12,000 people. The Japanese leg of the tour alone garnered a estimated total of over US$9 million in sales.[8]
