Seventeen Tour "Follow" was the third Asia concert tour headlined by South Korean boy group Seventeen. The tour began on July 21, 2023, at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, South Korea, and concluded at Nissan Stadium in Yokohama, Japan.

Background
Following the release of the EP FML, Seventeen announced a concert in Seoul for July 2023, to start the Follow tour, stylised as "Follow" to Seoul. The Seoul dates were followed by the announcement of a "Follow" to Japan leg, and finally the "Follow" to Asia leg was announced, with concerts in Bangkok, Manila, and Macao. An encore leg was announced in January 2024, returning to South Korea and Japan, titled "Follow Again" to Incheon, Seoul, and Japan, respectively. The encore brought the concert to stadiums, and made Seventeen the second K-pop act ever to perform at Nissan Stadium in Japan, after TVXQ.

Various performances were streamed simultaneously on Weverse Concerts, available for fans worldwide. The initial Seoul concerts, two concerts in the first Japanese leg, the Incheon concerts, and two concerts of the Japanese encore leg were streamed. The final concert of the first Japanese leg, in Fukuoka, was broadcast in real-time in cinemas around the world, with delayed broadcasts in certain timezones.

Seungkwan was absent for the initial Seoul dates of the tour, however he returned from the Tokyo concerts onwards. S.Coups missed the Japan and SEA legs of the tour due to an injury to his Anterior Cruciate Ligament, but returned for the encore dates starting with Incheon. Jeonghan was absent from the Fukuoka and SEA shows, also due to an injury, but he also returned to the tour during the Incheon show.

For promotion, Seventeen hosted events in each of the cities. Events included stamp rallies throughout Japan, a river cruise in Seoul, and a hotel collaboration in Bangkok. For the culmination of the tour, Seventeen officially collaborated with the Yokohama Government to arrange for events held at the city hall, seaside mall, and an evening firework display at the port.
