SM Town Live 2022: SMCU Express was a concert tour by SM Town, the artists under SM Entertainment. The tour started in Suwon, South Korea on August 20, 2022, and finished in Tokyo, Japan on August 29, 2022, with a total of four shows (one in Korea and three in Japan).

This was SM Town’s first in-person concert in almost three years (the last was in 2019 in Tokyo) and Korea’s first in five years since the 2017–2018 World Tour. After online concerts during the pandemic, SM Entertainment announced in 2022 that in-person shows would return, starting with two Tokyo Dome dates on August 27–28 and adding a third Tokyo show due to demand.

The Suwon show on August 20 was held at the Suwon World Cup Stadium, marking SM Town’s return to Korea with a large lineup. The Tokyo concerts (August 27–29) featured many big SM acts, including Kangta, BoA, TVXQ, Super Junior, Taeyeon, Hyoyeon, Shinee, Suho, Chen, Kai, Red Velvet, NCT, Aespa, Raiden and Kinjo.

Ticket sales began for fan-club members on July 26 and to the general public on July 28, with streams available through KNTV and Beyond Live. Tickets for the Suwon show were also sold on the SM Town & Store site starting August 2.

The tour drew positive attention, with Korea Herald noting the Tokyo show successfully mixed genres and calling SM a key, enduring presence in the music scene.
