The alternative K-pop group Balming Tiger will meet music fans around the world this summer.
On the 10th, Balming Tiger announced their overseas tour schedule, including a large-scale global music festival and solo performances, through their official SNS, revealing the 'World Expo Tour 2025' news.
This tour is an extension of their solo concert 'Balming Tiger World Expo 2024', which received a warm response with a sold-out show at the Nodeul Island Live House in Seoul last November. Notably, they will maintain the full band set-up that maximizes the live experience, filling the stage with vibrant sound and arrangements.
This tour features members with diverse personalities, including Omega Sapien, sogumm, Mudd the student, bj wnjn, and Leesuho, along with the band members who performed together in previous concerts, and will take place over two months in seven cities abroad.
The tour will kick off on July 5 at the 'Playtime Festival' in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, followed by performances at 'Kitty Woo Stadium' in Hong Kong on July 14, 'Legacy Taipei' in Taipei, Taiwan on July 19, and 'Fuji Rock Festival' in Niigata, Japan on July 26. In August, they will perform in three cities in the UK, taking the stage at 'Reading Festival' on August 23, 'Leeds Festival' on August 24, and concluding the tour at 'Koko' in London on August 26.
This tour is particularly noteworthy as it showcases Balming Tiger's musical identity and originality that they have built over time on a global stage. Balming Tiger has garnered significant attention both domestically and internationally with their experimental music that flexibly crosses the boundaries of genres such as hip-hop, R&B, electronic, and rock.
In particular, Balming Tiger plans to break down barriers with music fans around the world at prestigious large-scale festivals such as Japan's 'Fuji Rock Festival' and the UK's 'Reading and Leeds Festival', showcasing a new flow and expansion of K-pop.
