YG Entertainment officially announced on Mar. 16 that BABYMONSTER will embark on their second world tour, spanning five continents and kicking off in June 2026, a larger undertaking than the group's debut run.
The tour will open in Seoul, South Korea, before moving through six cities in Japan: Kobe, Fukuoka, Yokohama, Chiba, Nagoya, and Osaka. Beyond Asia, BABYMONSTER will extend their performances to North America, South America, Europe, and Oceania, with the latter three marking the group's first-ever visits to those regions since their debut.
Additional cities and specific dates for those continents have not yet been released, but will be announced in the near future, according to YG, per allkpop.
The announcement comes ahead of the group's third mini-album, CHOOM, slated for early May 2026. Chief producer Yang Hyun-suk described the record as "a BABYMONSTER album you've never heard before," with the title track CHOOM, meaning "dance" in Korean, set as the lead pre-release single.
A second mini-album single is also expected before the world tour begins. Later in the year, the group is also set to drop a full-length studio album in October 2026, Bandwagon reported.
The 2026-27 world tour is billed as a major step up from BABYMONSTER's debut run, the "HELLO MONSTERS" World Tour, which covered 20 cities and 32 shows and drew a total audience of 300,000 from January 2025 onward.
The new tour is expected to be staged on a significantly larger scale, with YG confirming that both the group and their production team are preparing a "more dynamic and upgraded stage" for fans globally.
In a statement released alongside the tour announcement, a YG representative said: "Thanks to the support of our fans, we are holding our second world tour faster than expected." The agency added that all artists and staff are working to deliver improved performances for MONSTIEZ, the official name of BABYMONSTER's fanbase, around the world.
Fan club pre-sales for BABYMONSTER events are available through the MONSTIEZ MEMBERSHIP (GLOBAL) on Weverse, the group's official fan platform. Members who wish to participate in pre-sales must complete a membership registration during the designated registration period on the ticketing page.
This system has been used for previous BABYMONSTER events, including the "LOVE MONSTERS" Asia Fan Concert, which ran from late 2025 into early 2026 across six Asian cities in 12 shows.
The 2026-27 world tour announcement has drawn immediate enthusiasm from international fans, with reactions already building across social media as more cities and date reveals are anticipated in the coming weeks, as per chosun.
