After a year-long hiatus, the group iKON has just announced two dates that could mark the start of a “WORLD TOUR” in 2026.
With a poster featuring a very grunge-inspired and aggressive design, this marks a triumphant return for iKON, which their fans have been eagerly awaiting for the past two years.
Indeed, their last concert took place on 7 April 2024 in Manila, Philippines. The end of that tour was marked by the absence of JAY, the group’s leader since 2019, who left to fulfil his military service and enlisted on 20 July 2023.
Why “FOUREVER” ?
This tour title refers to the number of members who will be present for these dates, as DK enlisted in the army in July 2025 and it is likely that JU-NE, the last member due to enlist, will do so between this announcement and the start of the tour dates in May.
This announcement has raised questions among iKONICS. Will there be a mini-album or a full-length album before the tour? And above all, if it’s a world tour, will the group be heading abroad? Can we hope to see other countries such as France, Poland or even the United States on the list? For the moment, nothing is certain.
Only Seoul is listed on the online poster, with tickets available on YES24, and a single venue: Jangchung Arena, which has a capacity of around 4,500 people.
With just two dates—16 May and 17 May—the agency is giving fans two months to prepare for the long-awaited comeback.
