K-pop girl group ITZY announced the dates for their second world tour on Thursday (Jan. 25). The spring/summer outing will find the quartet hitting 18 countries across Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Latin America, Europe and North America on the BORN TO BE swing that is slated to kick off at Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul, South Korea on Feb. 24.
The follow-up to their 2022 debut world tour, CHECKMATE, will have the group performing in Latin America, the U.K., Europe, Australia and New Zealand for the first time. The 27-city tour produced by JYP Entertainment and promoted by Live Nation will touch down in North America on June 6 for a show at WAMU Theater in Seattle, WA.
It will then run through shows in Oakland, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Newark and Chicago before winding down on June 28 with a gig at the Theatre at Great Canadian Casino Resort in Toronto. The final run will feature shows in Taipei, Taiwan (July 20), Manila, Philippines (August 3) and Hong Kong (August 10).
The dates will feature the debut live performances of songs from the group’s recent 10-track Born To Be mini album, which is their first release to feature solo songs from each member of the group. The eighth EP from the group comprised of Yeji, Ryujin, Chaeryeong and Yuna — fifth member rapper Lia is currently on hiatus from the group dealing with health issues — includes the title track, as well as “Untouchable,” “Mr. Vampire” and “Dynamite.”
