List of g.o.d concert tours

g.o.d are a South Korean boy band formed in 1999.

1st National Tour: The Story of Five Men
g.o.d only held their first concert tour two years after their debut as their first album was not an immediate success. The success of their second album and appearance in their own reality show led to a surge in popularity. The title of the concert tour The Story of Five Men (다섯 남자 이야기) is the title of a song from the second album. It was announced in January 2001, following the release of the third album. It began in Daejeon and ended in Seoul. The live album was released in August that year.

Initially, the Seoul leg was to take place over two dates in March at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena. Days before the opening concert in Daejeon, heavy snowfall damaged a section of the arena's roof and repairs would not be made in time due to poor weather conditions. Rather than play over two dates in a smaller venue, the management opted for a single date in a much larger venue and the Olympic Stadium was announced as the new venue.

100 Days Human Concert
Despite the huge success of their fourth album, g.o.d decided against going on television programs to promote and embarking on another concert tour and opted on a concert residency at the Popcorn Hall theater in Seoul, performing on four days of the week. It was entitled "100 Days Human Concert" (100일간의 휴먼 콘서트) and featured a different theme everyday.

The 100 Day Human Concert residency was considered landmark in the K-pop industry as the concept of a concert residency was unheard of in South Korea at that time. g.o.d also became the first K-pop group to play in 100 solo concerts. Industry commentators have since noted that the concert residency model was not viable in K-pop as singers and idol groups were much more reliant on the media to boost their public profile and promote releases. The lack of appearances on television appearances led to the decline in the group's album sales when their fifth album was released. Despite the general decline on concert ticket sales within the K-pop industry, the group were able to sell out the 3000-seat theater nearly every night.

The first leg ran from July 11 to September 22, 2002, and the second leg ran from December 25, 2002, to March 30, 2003. In between the legs, the members took time out to prepare for the fifth album.

15th anniversary reunion concert tour


The group began their 15th anniversary tour on July 12, 2014, at Jamsil Sports Complex. It was their first concert as a quintet in 12 years. Initially they had planned to hold two concerts over two days in Seoul but extended it to eight more dates in four other cities due to popular demand. They concluded their national tour with an encore concert in October at the 40,000-capacity Seoul Olympic Stadium, the second time they have held a sold-out concert at the venue, the first time being in April 2001.

In November, they extended their tour overseas, holding concerts in Los Angeles and Newark, New Jersey, and became the first South Korean group to hold solo concerts at American stadiums since Big Bang's Alive Galaxy Tour.

2015 concert tour
In early December 2015, g.o.d released the maxi single "A Funny but Sad Day" (웃픈 하루) and appeared on Immortal Songs: Singing the Legend to promote their upcoming tour.
