Fans of NCT 127 have a huge surprise in store for them. They can enjoy the group's much anticipated Tokyo Dome performance from the comfort of their houses, as it will also be broadcast online.

Towards the end of May, the K-pop group will be kicking off their first-ever dome tour of Japan, holding five concerts across three different cities. The group will first perform at Nagoya’s Valentin Dome on May 22, before moving on to perform at the prestigious Tokyo Dome on May 28 and 29. NCT 127 will wrap up the tour with a performance at Osaka’s Kyocera Dome on June 25 and 26.

Given the swiftness with which tickets were sold out at all three locations, many fans, both in Japan and overseas, were left disappointed. Therefore, the news of online screening came as a boon.

The Dome Tour of Japan is the second leg of the world tour. While details or dates for the other venues and cities are not known yet, SM Entertainment had previously announced that the 'Neo City - The Link' tour will see the group perform in various major cities across the world.
