DINO from SEVENTEEN adds two more Macau concerts after sold-out first date
DINO, a member of the South Korean group SEVENTEEN, has expanded his DINOxPICHEOLIN concert schedule in Macau from one to three performances after the originally announced date sold out. The 2026 DINOxPICHEOLIN - MACAU concert was initially scheduled only for October 10, 2026, at the Studio City Event Center, but PLEDIS Entertainment subsequently confirmed additional performances on October 9 and 11. According to the official Studio City Macau announcement, the new concert on October 9 begins at 20:00, the original October 10 date at 19:00, and the third performance on October 11 at 18:00 local time. All three concerts will be held in the same venue, and the organizer states that each performance is expected to last approximately 100 minutes. The additional dates come after strong demand for tickets for the first concert, turning DINO's solo project in Macau from a one-day event into a three-day concert series.
On September 17, according to Korean media reports and the official notice on Weverse, PLEDIS Entertainment announced that two new dates were being added thanks to audience interest. Sports Kyunghyang reported that the October 10 concert sold out shortly after ticket sales opened, while Idol News states that the decision to expand the schedule was made after the original date sold out. The official Studio City website has since updated the schedule to include all three days, from October 9 to 11. This also confirmed a new sales phase for the additional concerts, separate from the first sale associated with the original date. For audiences planning to attend, it is important to distinguish the already sold-out October 10 concert from tickets for the two newly announced dates.
Three concerts at the Studio City Event Center
The Macau schedule now includes three consecutive evenings, but with different starting times. Studio City Macau and Fantopia have published identical dates and times, with October 9 and 11 marked as additional performances. According to the currently available official information, the schedule is as follows:
- October 9, 2026 at 20:00 - additional concert
- October 10, 2026 at 19:00 - originally announced, sold-out date
- October 11, 2026 at 18:00 - additional concert
All three performances will be held at the Studio City Event Center in Macau. According to official Studio City information, the venue itself can accommodate up to 5,000 spectators, although the actual number of seats at an individual concert may depend on the stage and production configuration. It is a multipurpose venue designed for concerts, sports, and other major events, with infrastructure adapted for international productions. For DINOxPICHEOLIN the organizers state that there will be a seated configuration with numbered seats. The exact sector layout and availability of individual categories depend on sales and the seating plan published by authorized ticketing channels.
Ticket sales for the additional dates begin on September 24
Tickets for the October 9 and 11 concerts are expected to go on general sale on September 24, 2026, at 12:00 local time in Macau. In its official notice, PLEDIS Entertainment lists Fantopia, Damai, and Studio City as sales channels for the additional performances. For the original concert, CARAT Membership members had a presale on September 15, while general sales opened on September 16 at noon local time, according to information published by Fantopia. The following day, PLEDIS confirmed the schedule expansion, and media reported that the original date had already sold out. For this reason, September 24 is the key date for those interested in the two new performances.
Studio City Macau has published four price levels: 980, 1,580, 1,680, and 2,280 MOP. Fantopia further breaks down these categories: FLOOR and PLATINUM seats are listed at 2,280 MOP, RV PLATINUM at 1,680 MOP, category A at 1,580 MOP, and category B at 980 MOP. The RV designation refers to seats with a possibly restricted view of part of the stage, which is also stated in the sales rules. According to Fantopia information, all seats are numbered, and public sales on that platform are subject to a limit of two tickets per performance and per user account. The same sales page states that admission is permitted for people aged three and older and that each person must have their own valid ticket.
Buyers should check the terms of each individual sales channel before ordering because rules regarding payment, collection, or delivery may differ. Fantopia, for example, states that its sales use physical tickets and includes special conditions for their delivery or collection, as well as a rule that sold tickets cannot be returned or exchanged. These provisions apply to the stated platform and should not automatically be assumed to apply to every other sales channel. Given that the first date sold out very quickly, registering a user account and checking details before sales open may reduce technical difficulties, but registration itself does not guarantee the possibility of purchasing tickets. Organizers and sales platforms may subsequently update operational details, so it is useful to check the latest official notice before completing a transaction.
Macau is a continuation of DINO's first solo concert project
The series in Macau is a continuation of DINO's solo activities, which expanded significantly during the summer of 2026. In August, PLEDIS Entertainment announced the Macau concert as his first solo performance outside South Korea following a three-day series in Seoul. From August 21 to 23, DINO held 2026 DINOxPICHEOLIN at Jamsil Indoor Stadium, where, according to figures reported by Korean media citing the agency, he performed for approximately 15,000 visitors over three days. The online broadcast of those concerts was watched by audiences from 71 countries and territories. Macau was therefore conceived as the first international continuation of the concept previously tested in a large-scale concert format in Seoul.
The program is based on alternating between DINO's public identity as a member of SEVENTEEN and his alter ego Picheolin. This dual structure was one of the recognizable elements of the Seoul concerts, which alternated songs from DINO's solo work, Picheolin's repertoire, and selected material connected with SEVENTEEN. After the Seoul concerts, Sports Kyunghyang highlighted that the production connected the two performance personas, with a live band and video segments serving as transitions between different parts of the program. It has not been officially announced whether the performance schedule in Macau will fully repeat the Seoul set, so the song list for the October performances should not currently be considered confirmed. What has been confirmed is the name of the concert project, the three dates, and the approximate duration of the program.
In September, DINO continued his solo performances outside the traditional concert format as well. Sports Kyunghyang reported that on September 13 he performed at the Waterbomb Kaohsiung festival, where he performed songs from Picheolin's first mini album as well as several SEVENTEEN songs. That appearance took place only a few days before the announcement of the additional Macau concerts and shows that the Picheolin project developed its own international festival and concert schedule during 2026. For audiences in Macau, this means that the October performances come after several months of continuous promotion rather than as an isolated one-off event. At the same time, the sell-out of the first date represents a concrete indicator of demand for DINO's solo performance in that market, without the need to speculate about sales for the remaining two dates.
Who is Picheolin and how did he become the centerpiece of the solo project
Picheolin is not a new member or a separate artist, but an alter ego performed by DINO, whose real name is Lee Chan. The character first appeared in SEVENTEEN content in 2021, in a video segment connected with the CARATLAND fan meeting, and later returned in various entertainment formats of the group. Soompi states that the name Picheolin is a play on words connected with the English term "featuring", while the character is conceived as an eccentric, energetic music producer from an older generation. What initially functioned as a comedic element gradually developed into a separate creative framework through which DINO could release music and build a different stage identity. During 2026, PLEDIS Entertainment formalized the concept as his official solo project.
Picheolin officially debuted on August 3, 2026, with his first mini album , and the title track "Party Rock Rock (prod. Hitchhiker)" was released on the same day. Studio City Macau states that DINO participated in writing and composing songs on the album, linking the project with his earlier songwriting work. Back in 2023, he released the mixtape "Wait", on which he also participated as a songwriter, while within SEVENTEEN he is known as a member of the Performance Team, with roles as a performer, rapper, and vocalist. During 2025, he also performed at the opening of the Esports World Cup alongside Duckwrth and Telle Smith of The Word Alive, performing the tournament's official song "Til My Fingers Bleed", which Studio City mentions in the artist's biographical description. These projects help explain why is not conceived merely as a performance of the new album, but as a broader overview of DINO's work and stage identity.
The name itself is also part of the concept. According to Soompi, the word "Gilboard" refers to a former informal expression associated with street-level music popularity and cassette compilations in South Korea during the 1990s, while the character 吉 carries the meaning of luck or an auspicious sign. In Picheolin's project, this idea is used as a retro framework for music that combines different genres and emphasizes theatrical performance. This approach also explains the title of the concert series, in which DINO and Picheolin appear as two sides of the same performing project. For audiences who have followed SEVENTEEN for a longer time, it is an expansion of a character that has existed for years; for new audiences, the concerts in Macau function as a standalone entry point into his solo discography.
Studio City Event Center and practical information for visitors
The Studio City Event Center is located within the Studio City complex in Macau and, according to the official description, has a capacity of up to 5,000 seated guests. The venue is designed for major concert, sports, and entertainment productions and has modern stage and sound infrastructure. For DINOxPICHEOLIN the organizers state an approximate duration of 100 minutes per concert, although the actual duration may change depending on circumstances on site. Because of the different starting times, visitors should check the date on their ticket particularly carefully: Friday, October 9 starts the latest, at 20:00, the Saturday concert on October 10 at 19:00, and Sunday, October 11 at 18:00. Such a schedule provides three separate sales opportunities, but does not mean that the same seat category will be available for every date.
For visitors traveling to Macau from other parts of China, other Asian markets, or more distant countries, the three-day schedule means that travel can be planned around several possible dates. Those who want to stay in the city during the concert weekend can review accommodation offers in Macau in advance, especially if they plan to purchase tickets immediately after additional sales open on September 24. It is sensible to first confirm the ticket and official date and only then coordinate transportation and other reservations. Entry rules for Macau, carrier requirements, and any visa obligations vary depending on citizenship and travel route, so they should be checked in official sources relevant to each traveler. The organizers have not currently announced any special international travel packages as part of the concert program itself.
The sell-out of the first date expanded the concert schedule in only a few days
The announcement timeline shows how quickly the scale of the event changed. The original October 10 concert had a members' presale on September 15 and general sales on September 16, and as early as September 17 PLEDIS Entertainment announced additional dates. Media outlets reporting the agency's statement said that the original date had sold out after sales opened. Studio City then updated the official event page with three concerts and a new sales date for the additional dates. From an initial announcement of one performance, the program thus grew into a concert weekend running from Friday through Sunday.
For DINO, this is an important stage in a year in which Picheolin evolved from a long-standing comedic character within SEVENTEEN content into a formally presented solo identity with his own album, concert title, and international appearances. However, the available information confirms only the sell-out of the first date; sales for the October 9 and 11 concerts had not yet begun at the time this article was published. It therefore cannot be claimed in advance what ticket availability will be like after September 24. Official prices, dates, and the venue have already been confirmed, while any additional announcements regarding production, entry arrangements, or schedule changes are expected through the organizers and sales channels. For now, the most important change is clear: instead of one, Macau will receive three DINOxPICHEOLIN performances, on October 9, 10, and 11, 2026.
