NCT 127 are celebrating ten years as a group in the way they know best — on stage. Their fifth world tour, NEO CITY – THE REDLINE, opened at Seoul's KSPO DOME on September 18–20, with Jakarta's Indonesia Arena next on the schedule for October 3. With Hong Kong this weekend (Oct 10–11), Singapore, Saitama and Bangkok coming up, here is a recap of the Seoul opener, the BLINGY era behind it, and every confirmed date.
Seoul opener: what happened at KSPO DOME
Five members — Taeyong, Johnny, Yuta, Jaehyun and Haechan — performed at the Seoul shows. Doyoung and Jungwoo, currently completing military service, watched from the audience and appeared on the big screens to loud cheers, while a video of their past activities played during "Day After Day."
The staging leaned into the show's "Redline" theme: an extended stage with a rising diagonal walkway during "2 Baddies," a jeep that carried members close to fans during "Piñata," and air guns fired into the crowd for "Kick It." Korean reviewers singled out Haechan's stable high notes, Taeyong's rap and Yuta's stage presence.
Setlist highlights
Songs mentioned from the Seoul shows include "Zero Mile," "Summer 127," "2 Baddies," "Day After Day," "Piñata," "Fire Truck," "Fact Check," "Kick It" and the new title track "Blingy." Johnny took over the closing rap in "Summer 127" that Mark used to perform; Mark ended his NCT activities in April.
The BLINGY era and the 10th anniversary
The tour follows BLINGY, NCT 127's seventh studio album, unveiled at a press conference on August 24. Taeyong described it as a return to the group's roots, with the Seoul map and "NEO" colour concepts, and noted that every member renewed their contract with SM Entertainment. The album includes the pre-release "Piñata," the title track "Blingy," and "127 Million Miles," featuring vocals Doyoung and Jungwoo recorded before enlisting.
Johnny said the group wants to keep its "God of Performance" reputation, while Haechan called this five-member album and tour a limited moment that fans should enjoy while it lasts.

Fan reaction: red meets green
One of the most-shared images from Seoul was the audience itself: NCTzens waved the new red lightsticks alongside the older green ones, a combination reviewers compared to the cover of the group's first mini album. Fans responded to every chant cue, and a surprise rice-cake cake for the anniversary — arranged by Doyoung from the audience — drew one of the loudest cheers of the night.
The Seoul run is also coming to cinemas worldwide as NCT 127 5th Tour 'Neo City: Seoul — The Redline' in Cinemas, which is good news for fans who cannot reach an Asian tour stop.
