KATSEYE’s New EP, Beautiful Chaos, Is Out Now

Published

on

Today, KATSEYE released their new EP, BEAUTIFUL CHAOS, via HYBE x Geffen Records. The bold, five-song set explores the challenges of shaping meaningful identity in a digital age where reality is curated and authenticity fights the algorithm. As Rolling Stone noted in this feature,  “With Beautiful Chaos, the group proves that their strong friendship and shining individuality is here to stay.…Beautiful Chaos shows off the diversity in their styles and vocal versatility.” Listen to BEAUTIFUL CHAOS here. See below for track listing.

The follow-up to the group’s debut EP SIS (Soft Is Strong) – which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’sEmerging Artists and Heatseekers Albums charts in late 2024 – BEAUTIFUL CHAOS includes KATSEYE’s new single, “Gameboy.” With its mix of cheeky lyrics and sugary textures, it’s easy to see why the group describes it as the big sister of “Touch,” a track from SIS. Listen to “Gameboy,” which was produced by KillaGraham. View the official video here.

KATSEYE – comprising Daniela (Cuban/Venezuelan-American, from Atlanta, GA), Lara (Indian, from New York, NY), Manon (Ghanaian-Italian, from Zurich, Switzerland), Megan (Chinese-American, from Honolulu, HI), Sophia (Manila, Philippines), and Yoonchae (Seoul, South Korea) – is celebrating the release of BEAUTIFUL CHAOS with a tailgating event in Hollywood today, in partnership with Urban Outfitters, and a sold-out album signing at Barnes & Noble at The Grove in Los Angeles tomorrow, June 28.

After the world watched them compete and come together through HYBE and Geffen Records’ groundbreaking Dream Academy show and artist development program (and later, the Netflix docuseries, Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE), the idea of “beautiful chaos” felt oddly comforting to the group. Working with collaborators like Justin Tranter (Selena Gomez, Chappell Roan), Andrew Watt (Lady Gaga, Jungkook), John Ryan (Sabrina Carpenter), and Kristin Carpenter (Nessa Barrett, JISOO), KATSEYE thrives in the tension between softness and strength, polish and raw power, precision and rebellion on the new EP.

Highlights include the anthemic “Mean Girls,” which chooses grace over drama, and “M.I.A,” which serves up high energy with a hard-hitting beat — a fitting backdrop for asserting one’s self-worth. Lead single “Gnarly,” which has amassed 100 million combined global streams, was hailed as a “hyper pop doozy” contender for “song of the summer 2025” by The FADER. KATSEYE performed “Gnarly” at last week’s 2025 Kids Choice Awards. A remix of “Gnarly” with Ice Spice earned a spot on Rolling Stone’s Songs You Need to Know playlist.

Released last week, “Gabriela” earned praise from HYPEBEAST, which noted, “Blending haunting synth-pop tunes with Latin-acoustics, the song creates a cinematic, genre-blurring atmosphere. With a hypnotic hook, layered harmonies, and emotionally charged lyrics, it explores themes of obsession, identity, and envy — showcasing a new side of KATSEYE’s artistry.” The official video for “Gabriela,” which stars Jessica Alba, racked up over 10 million views in the first three days of release and quickly ranked #1 on Trending for music on YouTube. Teen Vogue – which featured KATSEYE on the cover of its May-June issue – observed, “Visuals have been an essential part of KATSEYE‘s success, and that success is driven by the band’s authenticity — both in their work and their wardrobes.”  

PAPER observed, “[Beautiful Chaos] is an encapsulation of the group’s buzzing energy, a messy distillation of the first-of-its-kind girl group… KATSEYE are ready to lean into their own distinct POV. There is no set road map for this group…”  Wonderland declared, “They’re taking over the pop- world…”

Pop Royalty BTS Announce Their Long-Awaited Return To The Stage With Massive 70+ Date World Tour

Published

on

BTS_2026_National

Pop Royalty BTS announce their long-awaited return to the global stage with their world tour spanning 2026-2027. Set to be the biggest global K-pop tour of all time, and the largest of their career to date, the run will span 34 regions and 79 shows, featuring first-ever performances in several cities and marking a historic new chapter for the group and their global fanbase, ARMY.

The highly anticipated 70+ date tour, promoted by Live Nation, kicks off Thursday, April 9, with BTS performing for three nights together in Goyang, South Korea before heading to Tokyo, Japan. From there, the tour moves to North America where the group will perform in Tampa, FL for the first time on April 25 and 26, launching the run with back-to-back nights at Raymond James Stadium before continuing across North America, Europe, and the UK. The tour features multi-night stadium stops in all cities including Mexico City, Las Vegas, London, Paris, East Rutherford, Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles and more.

This fall, BTS will then bring their tour to Latin America and Asia, with stops planned in Bogotá, São Paulo, Kaohsiung, Bangkok, Singapore, and more — including first-ever performances in Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Kaohsiung. The group will then return to Australia early next year for a run of shows across Melbourne and Sydney. Venue details and ticket information for the Latin America, Asia, and Australia dates will be shared at a later date.

Notably, the tour will feature a 360-degree, in-the-round stage design — a first for a K-pop stadium tour. The immersive setup places the audience at the center of the experience while allowing for increased capacity at every venue.

These shows mark BTS’ first headline performances as a group since their celebrated 2021–2022 ‘PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE’ tour, which spanned 12 shows across Seoul, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles. As one of the first K-pop groups to achieve true global crossover success and shatter attendance and gross records worldwide, BTS continue to redefine what’s possible for the genre with this massive stadium tour.

The BTS World Tour also brings historic firsts across multiple markets. BTS will play Sun Bowl Stadium in El Paso, TX and Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA — marking the first and largest headline K-pop concerts ever held in both cities. The group will also become just the second musical act to perform at Stanford Stadium in Stanford, CA, following Coldplay’s inaugural shows last year.

Additionally, the tour marks BTS’ first-ever performances in Madrid and Brussels, the first K-pop shows at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX and M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, and the group’s debut at London’s iconic Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, further cementing the tour as one of the most significant tours of 2026.

TICKETS: Tickets will be available starting Thursday, January 22 via ARMY MEMBERSHIP PRESALE with select dates on presale Friday, January 23. Remaining tickets will be available via general onsale beginning Saturday, January 24 at LiveNation.com. Presale and onsale times vary by market, check your local listings for more information.
