Singer and musical actor KIM JUNSU has announced his branded concert “Chapter 2: Festa” for October, marking his return to the Korean stage with a solo concert after approximately a year and a half.
Palm Tree Island stated, “KIM JUNSU’s branded concert XIA 2025 CONCERT Chapter 2: Festa will be held over four days, from Thursday, October 9 to Sunday, October 12, at the Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium.” This show marks his first solo concert since last year’s encore concert “Chapter 1: Recreation”, and will condense his signature emotional depth and genre-crossing stage appeal into the second chapter of this branded concert series, further solidifying the distinct identity of both KIM JUNSU and XIA.
While “Chapter 1: Recreation” offered a variety of stages across multiple genres, explosive live performances, intense choreography, and stylish production, “Chapter 2: Festa” expands that universe and will meet fans with a different kind of resolution. The subtitle “Festa,” which means “festival,” “celebration,” or “feast” in Italian, suggests that this concert will be more than just a stage, it will be a true festival where the artist and fans share and enjoy the moment together.
The teaser poster released alongside the concert announcement has already generated a strong reaction from fans. The illustration of KIM JUNSU as a character, combined with a vibrant retro aesthetic, immediately captured attention. The main slogan, “Let’s enjoy the Festa!” intuitively conveys the concept of the concert and heightens anticipation.
Of special note is the phrase “WITH MEMORIES” at the bottom of the poster. More than just a simple slogan, it evokes the memories built with fans during the branded concerts held at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in 2023 and 2024, while also offering an emotional message about the new memories that will be created together at the upcoming “Chapter 2: Festa”. This teaser poster, the first to share KIM JUNSU’s message, serves as a warm signal marking a new beginning for the concert series, and a symbolic image encapsulating the emotional tone of the event, leaving a strong impression on fans. Attention is now turning toward the soon-to-be-released main poster, which will further define the identity of this concert.
Tickets for “XIA 2025 CONCERT Chapter 2: Festa” will be available exclusively through Ticketlink. A pre-sale for 3rd-term members of the official fan club “COCONUT” will open on Monday, August 18 at 8 PM KST, followed by general ticket sales starting Thursday, August 21 at 8 PM KST. Further details about the concert and ticketing will be available starting today (August 5) at 11 AM on Ticketlink’s official website and KIM JUNSU’s Weverse page.
As KIM JUNSU’s first solo concert in Korea in about a year and a half, this show holds special significance for both the artist and his fans. Following the announcement of “XIA 2025 JAPAN FAN CONCERT: Journey to You”scheduled for August in Japan, “Chapter 2: Festa” promises to write yet another new chapter with Korean fans. Highly anticipated, this concert is expected to deliver an even more refined and high-quality performance, marking KIM JUNSU’s much-awaited return to the domestic stage.
“XIA 2025 CONCERT Chapter 2: Festa” will take place at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium from October 9 to 12, for four days.
