Remember the days when we had to beg K-Pop artists to come down under?
Those times are long gone and if you are struggling to keep up with who is coming, here are the confirmed tours (and some updates for other tours).
EVERGLOW

While the last few years have seen EVERGLOW go through a little bit of a reshuffle, the charismatic girl group will make their return to Australia later this month. With one show in Sydney on the 23rd of August at the Metro Theatre, fans can expect a night to remember. Known for their energetic music and dynamic choreography, EVERGLOW will be setting the Metro Theatre alight (figuratively of course). Get your tickets here.

Making their way to Australia for the first time, sibling duo AKMU redefine the expectations of what K-Pop actually sounds like.

UPDATES/NEWS/RUMOURS
Lee Hi
Unfortunately, as of yesterday, we have news that Lee Hi‘s tour that was set to happen this month, has in fact been cancelled. Her label has stated this was a decision made by the global promoter and not the artists/label themselves, but we will wait to hear more information. Refunds are being issued to those who have already purchased tickets.
The Rose
In better news, K-Rock band THE ROSE have announced they will be heading to Sydney and Melbourne soon. Details are yet to be revealed, but we will make sure we keep you up to date.
Rumours/Predictions
While no official news has been announced, we are making the educated prediction that 2027 will see many more K-Pop acts make their way down under. With KARD doing their NOW HERE tour in Seoul, STRAY KIDZ currently doing more world dates…it is likely they will be heading our way soon too. Again, this is just speculation, so we will make sure that we stay in the know.
If you are heading to any of the shows mentioned, let us know!
Also, who else would you like to see head to Australia in 2027?
