Ado’s 2025 “Hibana” World Tour Sets Global Record for a Japanese Artist

History in the Making: Ado Sells Out Paris Accor Arena and 12 Other Major Venues Overseas (ORICON)

Japanese singing sensation Ado is rewriting the rules of the global music game, folks. Her massive Ado WORLD TOUR 2025 “Hibana” Powered by Crunchyroll has officially sold out 23 shows outside Japan, with Ado pulling off an absolute stunner by becoming the first-ever Japanese artist to sell out at 13 of those international venues. 

We’re talking mega-sized arenas with jaw-dropping capacities — think Paris’s Accor Arena (packing in nearly 20,000 fans), Orlando’s Kia Center, LA’s Crypto.com Arena, and Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena.

The Paris date on the 25th was a real moment for the history books. The Accor Arena, a place on par with Japan’s Budokan in terms of prestige, saw Ado smashing it in front of a sold-out house of 20,000. Crowds roared from all corners of the globe, and she delivered a powerful performance that had the entire venue buzzing.

Ado kicked off this globe-trotting spectacle back in April at Saitama Super Arena, and will wrap up in Honolulu on 24 August, after storming through 33 cities across Asia, Oceania, Europe and the Americas. Altogether, she’s aiming for more than half a million fans across the tour — and judging by the hype, she’s easily on track. As of now, 25 shows across 24 cities have sold out, showing her unstoppable momentum.

The list of cities where Ado has pulled off this record-breaking feat is proper impressive: Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris, Milan, San Jose, Los Angeles, Fort Worth, Orlando, Toronto, Newark, São Paulo, Buenos Aires, and Santiago have all seen sell-out crowds where no Japanese artist has managed before. 

Venues like Berlin’s Uber Arena (17,000 capacity) and Milan’s Unipol Forum (15,000) have witnessed this phenomenon, while LA’s Crypto Arena pushed past 27,000 fans.

Clips from these epic performances have been popping up on Ado’s official social media, giving fans a taste of the roaring cheers and electric stage energy. And if you think it’s all over once the world tour wraps, think again — come November, Ado’s planning victory-lap shows back home at Tokyo Dome and Kyocera Dome.

It’s safe to say Ado isn’t just singing — she’s making history. Watch this space, because she’s far from done.
