Katseye, whose EP “Wild” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, will bring its Wildworld Tour to Asia, Australia, and New Zealand in 2027.
They’ve announced 11 arena shows for early 2027, adding to a tour that has sold out in Europe, the U.K., and North America. Live Nation books the new leg, which begins January 27 at Yokohama Arena in Yokohama, Japan.
Following that, Katseye will play Manila, Hong Kong, Seoul, Cebu, Singapore, Bangkok, and Taipei, and continue to Melbourne and Sydney. The tour ends March 5 at Spark Arena in Auckland, New Zealand.
Tickets sold out in under 48 hours when the tour was first announced in May. The tour kicked off September 1 at 3Arena in Dublin and has since played in London, Manchester, Paris, Miami, Atlanta, and Charlotte, among others.
The North American leg continues Friday at Bell Centre in Montreal and runs through November 28 in Mexico City, including two dates at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
Tickets for the 2027 shows will go on sale in waves beginning next week. Fans in Australia and New Zealand will get first access, with presales November 4 and 5 and general sale November 6.
In most Asian markets, presales run November 10–12, with general sale beginning November 13. There is no Mastercard presale in Seoul, and its general sale begins November 12. Presales in Yokohama will run November 12-14, and a general sale date has not yet been announced. Times may vary by market.
Paid Eyekons members on Weverse can participate in an artist presale but need to apply by 11:59 p.m. Sunday, New Zealand time. A separate presale through Katseye.world is free and open to all who register by that deadline.
Mastercard presales include shows in Melbourne, Sydney, Auckland, Yokohama, Manila, Cebu, and Taipei. UOB Mastercard holders can join presales in Singapore and Bangkok, while HSBC Mastercard holders can join the Hong Kong show. Those who miss the presales can still purchase a limited number of Mastercard Preferred tickets during the general sale.
VIP packages for the new shows will be available through Katseye’s Weverse Shop beginning with the general sale, which runs through katseye.world.
This news comes as Katseye wraps up an active fall for the group. Katseye performed at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, which aired October 18, and released “Unloveu,” a song that was previously exclusive to physical copies of “Wild.”
Lara Raj of Katseye wrote “Unloveu” with Ross Golan and Amy Allen, and produced it with Golan. The song is softer and quieter than the parts of “Wild” that are more upbeat.
Billboard praised the song, saying, “Katseye shows what it feels like to slowly regain your mind, confidence, and peace after a toxic relationship…It’s great to see Lara express herself and show the Eyekons what she can do.”
“Wild” was the largest debut for a girl group on the Billboard 200 this decade and the largest U.S. debut by a girl group in 18 years. The EP, released via Hybe x Geffen Records, features Hot 100 hits “Pinky Up” and “Animal.”
The group launched the EP with several national TV appearances. Katseye made its “Saturday Night Live” debut on the season premiere, performing “Animal” and “Hootie Frutti,” starring in the “Dream Academy” sketch, and receiving mentions throughout the episode.
They returned to “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” to perform “Animal” and, on release day, performed the Citi Concert Series on NBC’s “Today” show.
The EP reflects two years of growth and evolution for the group, and the critics have noticed. Billboard wrote that “throughout the EP, Katseye expresses much more freedom, flirtation, heartbreak, and desire. They’re growing up, and you can tell.”
GQ added, “Their new EP, ‘Wild,’ adds a Y2K pop feel to their bubbly hits, taking musical risks usually reserved for more experienced artists.”
Fans can also stream “Katseye: Wild Hearts,” a documentary by Nadia Hallgren, on Disney+ and Hulu in the U.S. and on Disney+ internationally. It premiered in about 1,700 theaters in 61 countries through a limited release via Trafalgar Releasing.
“Wild Hearts” offers a behind-the-scenes look at the group’s new era and its connection with fans, featuring never-before-seen footage, fan videos, and member interviews. Interscope Films and Boardwalk Pictures produced the film in conjunction with HYBE x Geffen.
