Global superstars MONSTA X today announced North American dates on their 2026 MONSTA X WORLD TOUR [THE X : NEXUS]. Promoted by Live Nation, the newly added shows kick off Saturday, October 3 in Fairfax, VA at EagleBank Arena, with stops in New York, Boston, Toronto, Phoenix, Los Angeles, and more before wrapping Saturday, October 24 in Seattle, WA at WAMU Theater.
The tour marks the group’s first large-scale outing in four years following their 2022 MONSTA X ‘NO LIMIT’ TOUR and first launched earlier this year with three nights at KSPO DOME in Seoul. Since debuting over a decade ago, MONSTA X have continued to evolve their sound and grow a global fanbase. Throughout [THE X : NEXUS] the group will reaffirm their reputation as trust-worthy performers, delivering their signature style with elevated live vocals and unmatched onstage chemistry.
The 2026 tour celebrates hits from across MONSTA X’s 11-year career while supporting their third full-length English album,《Unfold》released Friday, April 3. Listen to the album HERE. The 10-track project, featuring focus track ‘heal,’ and singles, ‘growing pains,’ and ‘baby blue,’ marks their first U.S. release in over four years and highlights a dynamic blend of pop and ballads.
As the first K-pop group to release three full English albums, MONSTA X continues to push the boundaries of global crossover, solidifying their place as one of the genre’s most internationally resonant acts. At its core, Unfold explores themes of healing and growth, confronting emotional challenges head-on throughout the album’s narrative.
The title [THE X : NEXUS] reflects a bond that goes beyond the long-standing connection between MONSTA X and MONBEBE (their official fanbase), signaling a deeper sense of unity and a new chapter forward. Built on more than a decade of shared growth, the tour represents a key artistic evolution and is set to further strengthen the group’s global impact.
