KATSEYE Announces Third EP Wild, Arriving This August
KATSEYE has officially announced its next chapter. The global girl group will release its third EP, Wild, on August 14, marking the follow-up to 2025’s Beautiful Chaos.
The announcement comes on the heels of a standout debut at Coachella, where the six-member group introduced festival audiences to their latest singles, “Pinky Up” and “Gnarly.” Their set included a surprise collaboration with EJAE, Rei Ami, and Audrey Nuna, the vocalists behind the fictional group Huntr/X from KPop Demon Hunters, for a live performance of the Academy Award-winning song “Golden.” Fans attending the festival’s second weekend will get another chance to catch KATSEYE when the group returns to the Sahara Stage.
The months ahead are shaping up to be a busy stretch for the group. Beyond Coachella, KATSEYE is scheduled to appear at several major North American festivals, including The Governors Ball in New York, Hinterland Music Festival in Iowa, and 88rising’s Head In The Clouds Festival in California.
The announcement follows another milestone week for the group. KATSEYE picked up three nominations at this year’s American Music Awards, earning recognition for New Artist of the Year, Breakthrough Pop Artist, and Best Music Video for “Gnarly.”
Created through HYBE and Geffen Records’ Dream Academy project, KATSEYE first gained attention through the reality competition series that documented the members’ journey as trainees. Since making their debut, the group has quickly become one of pop’s fastest-rising acts. Earlier this year, they received a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist, while their single “Gabriela” earned a nomination for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
Their growing success has been reflected on the charts as well. Following the release of their debut EP SIS (Soft Is Strong) in 2024 and last year’s Beautiful Chaos, the group continued building momentum with a string of successful singles. “Gnarly” became KATSEYE’s first entry on the Billboard Hot 100, followed by releases including “Gabriela,” “Gameboy,” and “Internet Girl,” with the latter debuting inside the Top 30.
With a new EP arriving in August and a packed summer festival schedule ahead, KATSEYE’s momentum shows no signs of slowing down.

Luke Combs Announces 12 New Stadium Shows for 2027 ‘My Kinda Saturday Night Tour’
Luke Combs is extending his My Kinda Saturday Night Tour into 2027, announcing 12 new stadium shows across the United States.
The new dates continue the tour that Combs launched in 2026, though fans can expect a different lineup of opening acts. Treaty Oak Revival, Avery Anna, Shenandoah and Wyatt McCubbin will join Combs at various stops throughout the 2027 run.
The tour takes its name from “My Kinda Saturday Night,” a song from Combs’ latest album, The Way I Am. The singer recently wrapped the 2026 leg with three sold-out performances at London’s Wembley Stadium.
For now, the 12 newly announced stadium concerts are the only dates listed on Combs’ official tour calendar. Tickets for all 12 shows go on sale August 21.
The announcement had been teased throughout the week, with several venues revealing details before Combs officially announced the dates on Thursday morning.
The limited schedule reflects a shift in how Combs is approaching life on the road. With three young children — ages four, nearly three and six months — the singer has spoken about putting more time aside for his family. The days of spending most of the week away from home may be becoming less common for the country star.
That does not mean Combs is stepping away from the stage. Every 2027 date announced so far is scheduled at a football stadium with a capacity of at least 60,000 people.
The strategy is similar to one adopted by several major country artists in recent years, including Morgan Wallen: fewer shows in much larger venues. Rather than spending months on the road playing arenas and smaller venues, Combs can reach a large audience with a limited number of performances.
For fans, that makes each stop a bigger event. For Combs, it offers a way to keep touring while spending more time at home with his family.
Tickets go on sale August 21.
Tour Dates for Luke Combs 2027 ‘My Kinda Saturday Night Tour’:
April 3 — Arlington, Texas @ AT&T Stadium
April 10 — Minneapolis, Minn. @ U.S. Bank Stadium
April 17 — Detroit, Mich. @ Ford Field
April 24 — Philadelphia, Pa. @ Lincoln Financial Field
