What to expect at BOYNEXTDOOR's KNOCK ON Vol.2 tour: Setlist, start time, merch and more

Welcome to SeatGeek Front Row, where we experience concerts firsthand so you know exactly what to expect and how to make the most of your night. For this edition, NYC concert expert Annmarie Gajdos takes you inside BOYNEXTDOOR's KNOCK ON Vol.2 tour at the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden, breaking down everything from the setlist and seemingly endless encores to sold-out merchandise, fan fashion and how to navigate the venue's confusing entrance.

BOYNEXTDOOR brought their KNOCK ON Vol.2 tour to New York City's Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden on November 7, 2026, delivering more than two and a half hours of music, choreography, playful storytelling and audience interaction.

The six-member K-pop group, consisting of Sungho, Riwoo, Jaehyun, Taesan, Leehan and Woonhak, performed for an enthusiastic crowd of ONEDOOR fans who arrived dressed in character-inspired outfits and carrying the group's signature house-shaped light sticks.

What a BOYNEXTDOOR “KNOCK ON Vol.2” concert is actually like

Between multiple video interludes, audience karaoke and a series of goodbyes that never seemed to stick, the concert was as much about connecting with fans as it was about the music.

But while the show itself ran smoothly, navigating the venue proved more challenging. With another major event happening at Madison Square Garden the same night, finding the correct entrance, getting through security and purchasing merchandise required extra patience.

Here's everything to know before attending a BOYNEXTDOOR concert.

What time does BOYNEXTDOOR go on stage?

At the November 7 performance, BOYNEXTDOOR took the stage at approximately 8:44 p.m., with the concert concluding at 11:17 p.m. As is true of most K-pop performances, there was no opening act.

The first indication that the show was about to begin came at 8:38 p.m., when music started playing and the group's B1258 branding flashed across the screens.

November 7 concert timeline:

• 8:38 p.m.: Pre-show music and B1258 visuals began

• 8:44 p.m.: BOYNEXTDOOR's performance started

• 10:27 p.m.: First “finale,” followed by audience karaoke

• 11:01 p.m.: An additional false ending before more performances

• 11:17 p.m.: Concert officially ended

With a runtime of approximately two hours and 33 minutes, fans should prepare for a lengthy evening, particularly when factoring in security lines and merchandise shopping.

The setlist mixed upbeat dance tracks with slower moments, while frequent talking segments and prerecorded videos gave the members opportunities to interact with the audience between performances.

Does BOYNEXTDOOR have an encore?

Yes, and at the November 7 performance, BOYNEXTDOOR went a little encore happy.

The group repeatedly announced that the concert was coming to an end, only to return for additional performances. The first apparent finale came around 10:27 p.m., but instead of immediately returning to the stage, the members left fans to entertain themselves.

Two karaoke songs played while the audience sang along, transforming the theater into a massive singalong session.

BOYNEXTDOOR eventually returned for several encore performances, including "l i f e i s c o o l," "Count to Love" and "I Wonder."

Around 11:01 p.m., the group appeared to say goodbye once again. But the members had another surprise in store for New York.

They returned for four additional performances, including reprises of "I Feel Good," "ADIOS!" and "ANIMAL," explaining that they wanted to do something extra special for the city's fans.

The audience enthusiastically embraced every additional song, cheering as though each return was completely unexpected.

What is BOYNEXTDOOR's stage production like?

BOYNEXTDOOR's KNOCK ON Vol.2 tour blended synchronized choreography, colorful visuals and playful prerecorded videos that highlighted the members' personalities.

After the opening three songs, the group paused to introduce themselves before continuing with the performance.

One particularly memorable video segment featured the members imagining how they would customize a house, with each selecting what they would include in their own room. The concept tied directly into BOYNEXTDOOR's name and branding.

Other interludes featured the members playing games in a studio, riding a bus and appearing in a brief car-crash-themed sequence.

Rather than serving as simple breaks between songs, the videos added a storytelling element to the concert and helped maintain the audience's attention while the members prepared for subsequent performances.

The group also made time for several extended conversations with fans.

During one segment, the members discussed New York City and expressed their desire to perform with fans in Times Square someday.

Musically, the concert moved between energetic dance tracks, ballads and fan favorites, with the group's choreography and chemistry taking center stage.

What is the crowd like at a BOYNEXTDOOR concert?

BOYNEXTDOOR fans, known as ONEDOOR, brought plenty of enthusiasm to the November 7 show.

The concert atmosphere began outside the venue, where the entrance line wrapped around the block and fans distributed homemade freebies to fellow attendees.

These small gifts are a popular tradition at K-pop concerts, with fans exchanging items such as photocards, stickers and other memorabilia.

Inside the theater, the crowd enthusiastically sang along, cheered during the members' conversations and reacted excitedly to every unexpected encore.

Many attendees carried BOYNEXTDOOR's official light stick, which features a miniature house inside a transparent globe.

The coordinated lights added to the atmosphere, particularly during slower songs and audience participation moments.

What should you wear to a BOYNEXTDOOR concert?

There was no official dress code for the November 7 performance, but ONEDOOR fans embraced playful, character-inspired fashion.

One particularly popular look referenced 312, also known as Samhani, the green alien character associated with member Leehan from the group's BBNEXDO character collection.

Fans wore green alien-inspired costumes, while others accessorized with cat ears, flowers in their hair and small decorative sprouts.

The overall atmosphere was colorful, creative and full of references to the group's personality and fandom culture.

For anyone planning an outfit, character-inspired accessories, playful streetwear or a look referencing a favorite member would fit right in.

Comfortable shoes are also worth considering, especially for a performance lasting more than two and a half hours.

What merchandise is available at BOYNEXTDOOR's concert?

BOYNEXTDOOR offered a variety of official merchandise at the Infosys Theater, including light sticks, accessories, albums and apparel.

Merchandise prices at the November 7 performance:

• Official light stick: $69

• Official light-stick keyring: $38

• Photocards: $12

• Scrunchie: $27

• Country-themed bracelets: $25

• HOME: DELUXE album editions: $26

• Acid-wash black tour T-shirt: $70

• AAA batteries: $2

• Member image fans: Price unavailable

The group's official light stick was one of the most distinctive items available, featuring a miniature house inside a transparent globe.

Other merchandise included black-and-blue accessories, a black scrunchie with BOYNEXTDOOR branding and bracelets representing stops in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

The $70 acid-wash black T-shirt offered a more streetwear-inspired option for fans looking for something they could wear beyond the concert.

One unusual detail was the merchandise display itself. Rather than showcasing physical examples of every item, the stand primarily featured pictures of the products available for purchase.

That made it somewhat difficult to examine the merchandise before buying, especially with long lines and limited time before the performance.

Several popular items had already sold out before the show began, including Lucky Draw merchandise, light-stick keyrings, country-themed bracelets and studio albums.

If you're hoping to purchase limited-edition merchandise, arrive as early as possible. Popular items may sell out before the concert begins, and waiting until after the performance could mean missing out entirely.

What a concert is like at Infosys Theater at MSG

From finding the right entrance to choosing seats with a clear view of the stage, attending a concert at Infosys Theater comes with a few things worth knowing in advance. Here's what we learned from BOYNEXTDOOR's November 7 show.

Where are the best seats at Infosys Theater at MSG?

The Infosys Theater offers a more intimate concert setting than Madison Square Garden's main arena, but that doesn't necessarily mean every seat provides an unobstructed view.

From Section 303, Row A, Seat 19, visibility was a challenge during BOYNEXTDOOR's November 7 performance.

Although the theater features sloped seating, the arrangement didn't provide enough separation to consistently see past other concertgoers, particularly when fans stood up to dance and wave their light sticks.

Even from the first row of the section, the view could become obstructed, making it difficult to capture clear photos and videos.

For fans hoping to film their favorite songs or enjoy an uninterrupted view of the choreography, seats closer to the front or with a more direct sightline to the stage may be worth considering.

It's important to review the venue's seating chart before purchasing tickets rather than assuming a front-row designation guarantees a clear view.

How do you get into Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden?

Finding the correct entrance to Infosys Theater can be more confusing than expected, particularly when another event is taking place in the main Madison Square Garden arena.

On November 7, comedian Dave Chappelle was performing in the main arena while BOYNEXTDOOR played the smaller Infosys Theater.

With two major events happening simultaneously, attendees encountered overlapping crowds and confusion about which entrance to use.

The experience was made more frustrating by inconsistent directions from security staff, with some concertgoers being sent to different areas while trying to locate the theater.

Where is the Infosys Theater entrance?

The Infosys Theater entrance is located on the Seventh Avenue side of Madison Square Garden, between West 31st and West 33rd Streets, near Penn Station.

Fans should follow signs specifically for Infosys Theater rather than automatically joining the lines for the main MSG arena.

The theater's event signage was also displayed near its entrance, making this the spot to visit for photos with the BOYNEXTDOOR sign.

If taking photos is a priority, allow extra time to locate the signage before entering.

What are the security lines like?

During the November 7 performance, the entrance line wrapped around the block.

Initially, attendees were directed into just two lines before reaching security, where the crowd was divided into additional lanes.

Security staff admitted fans in groups, creating delays even after concertgoers reached the entrance area.

Between the long lines, multiple events and confusing directions, getting inside took longer than expected.

So be sure to arrive early and confirm the correct theater entrance before joining a line. If another event is happening at Madison Square Garden that evening, make sure you're following directions for Infosys Theater rather than the main arena.

And if the members announce that they're performing their final song, don't be too quick to believe them before heading out.
