IVE (An Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, Leeseo) launched the signal of a global expansion for its second world tour.
The agency STARSHIP ENTERTAINMENT revealed last March 25, via official social networks, additional dates in North America and Asia for the second world tour of IVE entitled “SHOW WHAT I AM“.
This tour differs in its scale. Starting with the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada on July 21, IVE will make stops in Montreal, Newark, Austin, Los Angeles, Oakland, Seattle, before concluding its North American tour on August 9 at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver. Then, in September, the group will give a total of four concerts in Hong Kong and Taipei, continuing its meetings with Asian fans.
To this are added performances in major Asian cities such as Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Singapore and Macau, as well as a tour scheduled in June in Australia and New Zealand, thus completing a major world tour covering a total of 17 countries and regions. In particular, the Singapore and Macau concerts sold out very early, proving the global ticketing power of IVE. While the concert at the Kyocera Dome Osaka in Japan in April has already been announced, additional cities will be revealed sequentially, suggesting a further expansion of their global activities.
The announcement video for the tour, unveiled at the same time as the publication of this schedule, also attracted attention. With the double title song in pre-release from the second full album “REVIVE+” titled “Bang bang” in the background, a staging of whispers between the members and real images of the Seoul concert crossed to strengthen immersion, maximizing anticipation with the message “IVE is coming”. In particular, the schedule for this tour in North America and Asia was revealed exclusively via Billboard, making one realize the high global status of IVE. An interview containing the ambitions of the members was also published, concentrating the interest of foreign fans.
IVE had opened the doors of its second world tour with concerts held at the KSPO DOME in Seoul from October 31 to November 2 of last year. At that time, the group consolidated its position as a “performance leader” with an expanded configuration including unreleased solo stages and solid live performances. This tour places at the center the message of expansion of the narrative of the “I (Me)”, pursued since the debut, towards the “We (Us)”. As the title “SHOW WHAT I AM” indicates, it is expected that the identity and narrative of IVE will be deployed in an even more multidimensional way.
Furthermore, IVE released its second full album “REVIVE+” on the 23rd of last month and achieved a Perfect All-Kill (PAK) on the main national music charts with the double title song “Bang bang“. This is the first PAK of the year 2026 and the sixth record in total. “Bang bang” is experiencing prolonged success by maintaining first place on the weekly chart for four consecutive weeks, while the other title song “Blackhole” has also received rave reviews, proving their musical growth.
IVE will resume its second world tour “SHOW WHAT I AM” starting with the Kuala Lumpur concert on April 4, thus launching into a true global race.
