MONSTA X
The idol group MONSTA X once again confirmed its global status by successfully completing its fourth tour as part of the “Jingle Ball Tour”.
MONSTA X concluded its entire tour schedule with the final concert of the 2025 IHEARTRADIO JINGLE BALL TOUR (hereafter “Jingle Ball Tour”), which took place on December 20 (local time) at the Kaseya Center in Miami.
Starting in New York on the 12th, then passing through Philadelphia on the 15th, Washington, D.C. on the 16th, and finally Miami on the 20th, the group visited four cities, captivating local audiences at every stop with MONSTA X’s signature energy. Performing alongside globally renowned artists such as Ed Sheeran, Conan Gray, and Zara Larsson, MONSTA X solidified its presence on the international stage with an even more defined musical identity and highly polished performances.
Opening the stage with “N the Front”, the title track of its mini-album THE X released last September, MONSTA X sparked an explosive response by combining powerful bass, electronic sounds, and dynamic performance. The perfect synergy among the members on stage highlighted the group’s maturity as it celebrates its 10th anniversary, drawing all eyes and amplifying the festive atmosphere.
The tour also showcased a broad musical spectrum. The group performed “Baby blue”, its American digital single released last month, live on stage for the first time, revealing a different side with softer vocals and an emotional mood. The microphone-stand performance of “Middle of the night”, the title track of its first American full-length album, further deepened the audience’s immersion.
During the performance of “Someone’s someone”, the sing-alongs and cheers illustrated MONSTA X’s global popularity, creating a warm year-end atmosphere as fans and spectators united their voices while waving their hands above their heads. The group then flipped the mood with “Do what I want”, dominating the stage and leaving a strong impression through the end of the concert.
Through STARSHIP ENTERTAINMENT, MONSTA X shared its thoughts:
“We were very excited to participate in the ‘Jingle Ball Tour’ again after such a long time, and at the same time a bit nervous because we wanted to present a memorable stage, but we are relieved and happy that we were able to finish all the concerts in such a great atmosphere. Not only the MONBEBEs (official fanclub name), but also the audience applauded us sincerely, which allowed us to truly immerse ourselves and enjoy the stage. We hope many people take away this positive energy, and we will dive even more intensely into our next world tour. Thank you so much to the MONBEBEs who always support us. We will be back soon with amazing performances, so please look forward to them.”
Matching the warm reception from local audiences, interest from overseas media also intensified. MONSTA X gave interviews to iHeartRadio, Z100 New York Radio, People Magazine, USA TODAY LIFE, StyleCaster, Q102 Philly, and many other outlets, answering a wide range of questions fluently in English. Beyond music, the group expanded the reach of the “Jingle Ball Tour” by actively engaging with international fans. Additionally, Rolling Stone US and Billboard highlighted their performances, once again reinforcing their global influence.
By participating for the fourth time in the largest year-end stage in the United States, the “Jingle Ball Tour”, MONSTA X proved its reputation as a group that can be “trusted to watch and listen to”. This momentum will continue into 2026 with their new world tour THE X : NEXUS. Following their Seoul concerts from January 30 to February 1 at KSPO DOME, the group has also confirmed an arena tour in Japan, including stops in Chiba and Osaka in April and May, announcing a new year filled with intense activity.
