- Weverse presale for the tickets of the WILDWORLD Tour will open on May 20, before the tour begins in Dublin on September 1.
KATSEYE is set to initiate its WILDWORLD Tour, an international circuit produced by Live Nation, showcasing sheer commercial gravity. After its high-profile Coachella performance and a Best New Artist Grammy nomination, this WILDWORLD Tour will cover 27 cities in 10 countries, from Europe to the US. The news comes amidst the announcement of a new group by the HYBE Geffen partnership, which also gave birth to KATSEYE through The Debut: Dream Academy.
KATSEYE’s Chart Momentum Fuels WILDWORLD Era
KATSEYE’s latest tour acts as the physical manifestation of the group’s digital music rankings. Its earlier mini-album, Beautiful Chaos, maintained a 41-week run on the Billboard 200. Additionally, the group’s hit song Gabriela charted a 28-week success on the Billboard, peaking at No. 21, and Gnarly reached No. 82, outlining a successful 13-week run. The WILDWORLD Tour builds on this very momentum, alongside the anticipation of their third EP titled Wild, which is set to be released on August 14, 2026.
