Hoping more groups perform in New Zealand in the future. Was surreal seeing IVE perform.

It's kind of weird to me that they don't? We're seeing more and more groups make an Australian stop and New Zealand is right there, and so right there that I wouldn't qualify it as anywhere near out of the way?

That’s what I’ve been saying! We’re just right across the ditch and yet we’re almost always forgotten. I get that we’re a smaller market but there’s still plenty of fans who would attend the shows. Albeit, companies may have to lower their expectation on ticket sales just a bit 😅

I have heard that they just don’t sell well unless they are very popular

They lived up to their tour name and showed NZ what they have. Congrats to IVE and Kiwi Dives!

Another thing worth noting is that the article lists that IVE are due to perform in 19 countries during the tour. So far, they have either announced or performed in 12 countries (South Korea, Malaysia, Japan, Philippines, Singapore, Macao, Australia and New Zealand so far, Canada, USA, Hong Kong and Taiwan to come), so that's 7 countries to be announced. Hope for Europe and Latin America yet.
