History
The tour was announced by Clumsy Media in October 2012 on the company's official website and would be divided into two rounds; the first being prior to the release of T.Max's comeback album, with him performing previous chart hitting songs and the second round consisting of new track performance, serving as promotion the album. The set list for the preliminary round would be Act 1-5. On November 28, 2012, T.Max announced that the second round of concert will be held after the release of his comeback album Raining Absence but did not reveal the dates of the concerts.
The tickets for the first set of the tour went on sale on April 10, 2013 first on Oricorn Events with the preliminary rounds of the concert first starting on May 25 at the Tokyo Dome. The first round ultimately finished on October 18 at the Oslo Opera House. His comeback album was officially released online and offline on September 15 with the second round of the concert shortly confirmed. The full venue dates were then released on October 25 and pre-orders began two days later.
Due to overwhelming response regarding lack of tickets, it was announced on October 30, 2011 that there will be a second concert on the following day after the first night, on December 10, 2011 in Singapore. The concert was also held on January 15, 2012 in Hong Kong, a special administrative region under China. And most recently, it was confirmed that Girls' Generation will perform a concert on February 12, 2012 in Bangkok, Thailand.
On January 14, Girls’ Generation broke the record for the fastest concert to sell out in Thailand. The highest priced tickets sold out in ten minutes. All 11,000 concert tickets were sold in twenty minutes, setting the record for the concert to be sold out the fastest in Thailand.[1]
