[Dispatch=Reporter Jeong Tae-yoon] PLAVE opened the curtain on their first world tour at their first stadium.
PLAVE held '2026 PLAVE WORLD TOUR 'KEEP IT MANIC' at the main stadium of Incheon Munhak Stadium over two days on the 12th and 13th.
This concert marks the beginning of PLAVE's first world tour since their debut. It is also the opening stage of a grand journey to meet fans around the world, starting from Incheon.
In particular, PLAVE entered a stadium-sized venue for the first time since their debut, showcasing a stage utilizing a massive LED display measuring over 120m in width and over 20m in height.
The LED is the largest of its kind used at Incheon Munhak Stadium. Functioning as more than a simple visual device, it served as part of the stage itself. The visuals and direction configured to suit the space, combined with the members' performances, evoked a massive media art show.
The members conveyed their impressions of entering their first stadium, saying, "This is something we couldn't even imagine back when we were busking in Hongdae. We believe it's possible because of Plie."
The audience filled the venue with powerful synchronized chanting. Solo stages by members were another highlight of the concert. Jun presented an emotional mood reminiscent of the film 'La La Land' in 'Close to You'.
Eunho showcased a bathtub entrance and sensual dance break in 'Taste'. Hamin completed a unique atmosphere in 'Spider' with point choreography expressing a spider web.
Noah left a striking impression with a vampire concept of awakening from a coffin and makeup in 'Good Boy Gone Bad'. Bambi filled the stage alone in 'Sherlock', displaying the presence unique to a solo stage.
In particular, the members' new styling was unveiled for the second time since 'Dash: Quantum Leap' in 2025, drawing enthusiastic response. They showcased hairstyle and visual changes tailored to each stage's concept.
As PLAVE headed toward the ending, they conveyed their thoughts, saying, "We hope that this moment right now will become a cherished scene when we look back on it in the distant future." The audience also requested an encore through synchronized chanting.
They gifted fans by surprise-releasing unreleased songs to be released later. During Sunday's concert, HOOK dancers who participated in creating the choreography for 'I Think That's It' were also spotted on the broadcast screen.
PLAVE shared their impressions, saying, "There were many firsts in many ways today. Thank you for making it a perfect start." They then connected with fans through a ballad version of 'I'll Wait', closing the concert with spectacular fireworks.
Meanwhile, PLAVE will visit Kanagawa on the 26th and 27th, Kaohsiung on the 3rd of next month, Bangkok on the 10th, Singapore on the 17th, Taipei on the 23rd and 24th, Macau from the 31st to November 1st, and LA on November 14th, starting with their Korea concert.
