While the majority of the world will be quietly celebrating Christmas Day on the 24th of December, 2025, Seoul is preparing for an event that goes beyond the season. Ailee, the well-known K-pop artist, will be back to perform at KBS Arena in Gangseo-gu at 7:00 PM KST.

Last Christmas is not just the title of the seasonal concert but also a literal interpretation of the artist's return. Ailee is one of those rare vocalists whose strength is accompanied by an equally strong emotional appeal; reports have it that her show would be no exception. The entertainment event is far from being solely a festive one but rather the singer's heartfelt musical message to her audience, which revolves around the themes of introspection, engagement, and communal experience.
A day mainly devoted to one's family and oneself, Christmas Eve, is just the perfect setting for Ailee's show. It is the excellent equilibrium of magnificence and intimacy that the KBS Arena, a place for large-scale concerts, makes possible. Spectators are led to believe that a show with spectacular quality and the artist's signature touching delivery will be their experience.
This is the one that comes after the nationwide tour I AM: COLORFUL (October 2023–January 2024), which means it is a return for Ailee after almost two years. The concert will be of around two hours duration featuring an uninterrupted fusion of a well-prepared stage and live singing. In her period of absence, the fan base has been looking forward to the event, which is the reason why the show is both a significant milestone in the artist's career and a celebration of the strong artist-fan bond.
The audience will be taken on a musical journey with Ailee through her greatest hits. Among others, they would be the lead singles from I Will Show You and I Will Go to You Like the First Snow, where the singer would dazzle her audience with not only vocal range, but also her interpretive skills. To these performances, the term nostalgia will be just an understatement as they will be more of a reaffirmation of her versatility and lasting artistry, and as a result, the very fact that she is one of the greatest K-pop vocalists will be further strengthened.

Besides enduring hits, Ailee will play hit tracks from her seventh mini-album, Memoir, which was released in March 2025. The pensive mood of the record, coupled with the quietness of Christmas Eve, will therefore, create an uninterrupted musical experience connecting the artist's past and present. Performances recorded live in this session will be technically excellent and emotionally touching, as they are the embodiment of her most recent work.
The concert is a co-production between A2Z Entertainment and Concept K Co., both are very much committed to organizing an excellent event. The meticulous planning of every single aspect - from the stage design to the sound system - has been done with a view to facilitating the live vocal performance of Ailee, and it thus|au nature|will be an occasion to which fans from all over the world can come and enjoy equally.
Ticket purchasing came into effect on October 20, 2025, at 8:00 PM KST and can be made via YES24 and NOL Ticket. R-section seat prices are at 154,000 KRW, whereas S-section seats are at 143,000 KRW. The concert is suitable for children aged seven and above; hence it is a family-friendly event while at the same time keeping the emotional depth and musical sophistication characteristic of Ailee's shows.

Since the year 2017, except for the years affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and 2024, the year of her wedding and the release of Memoir, Ailee has been holding Christmas concerts every year. This time around, Last Christmas is a celebration of the return to that great tradition and a thank-you to the fans who have stood by her through both her personal and professional milestones.
The name Last Christmas with its soft ironic touch suggests the opposite, one meaning being a farewell and the other a memory, gratitude, and shared connection. On this frosty night in Seoul, factors such as music, timing, and emotion come together to present an experience that is far from being a seasonal festivity.
By holding Last Christmas, Ailee proves that the live performance is a powerful weapon that can move the audience and the artist-fan relationship can get stronger. The concert will be the year’s most emotionally powerful and unforgettable events, technical brilliance, heartfelt expression, and fans’ uniquely personal connection blending together.
