The tour, named after their new EP BEAUTIFUL CHAOS (HYBE x Geffen Records), comes on the heels of the project debuting at No. 4 on the Billboard 200, marking another major milestone for the group.

A Completely Sold-Out North American Run

 

Demand for KATSEYE was so intense that their entire North American run sold out instantly — prompting the addition of second nights in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, which also sold out. The tour continues November 18 in Toronto before weaving through major U.S. cities like Boston, Washington DC, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Phoenix, Seattle, and more, culminating on December 16 in Mexico City.

Skyrocketing Into Global Pop Royalty

2025 has been KATSEYE’s defining year. After a fiery festival debut at Lollapalooza, where NYLON praised their “red-hot” set, the group brought their genre-blending style to Summer Sonic in Tokyo, followed by their first-ever UK performance — a moment made iconic by a live Q&A moderated by Spice Girls legend Melanie C. Rolling Stone UK even called them “the Spice Girls of the social media age” and predicted they’ll become “the defining girl group of the 2020s.”

Their EP BEAUTIFUL CHAOS includes streaming juggernauts “Gnarly” (over 100M global streams) and “Gabriela,” which critics like HYPEBEAST called “a bold evolution in their artistic direction.” A remix with Young Miko pushed the track into new territory, with Remezcla dubbing it “an undeniable Latine queer anthem.”

Award Wins, Viral Moments & Pop Culture Domination

KATSEYE’s rise has been punctuated by award wins and viral cultural moments. They recently snagged the MTV VMA for Push Performance of the Year for “Touch,” delivering show-stopping performances of both “Gnarly” and “Gabriela” during the ceremony. Media outlets from Harper’s Bazaar to The FADER hailed the group as the next global pop phenom.

For Halloween, KATSEYE dropped a now-viral Mariah Carey–themed video featuring a special cameo from Carey herself, earning praise from Teen Vogue for going “full Mariah” with iconic costume recreations.

Then came the viral GAP “Better in Denim” campaign, choreographed by Robbie Blue, which sparked a wave of fan-created videos — the commercial quickly racking up over 45 million YouTube views.

Meet the Global Members Redefining Pop

 

KATSEYE is a multicultural force:

  • Daniela – Cuban/Venezuelan-American (Atlanta)
  • Lara – Indian (New York)
  • Manon – Ghanaian-Italian (Zurich)
  • Megan – Chinese-American (Honolulu)
  • Sophia – Filipina (Manila)
  • Yoonchae – Korean (Seoul)

Formed through HYBE and Geffen’s groundbreaking Dream Academy global audition program — later chronicled in the Netflix docuseries Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE — the group is built within the polished K-pop training model but designed for a global audience.

They’ve already been named Artists to Watch by VEVO DSCVR and TIDAL, featured on the digital cover of i-D, and interviewed by the Associated Press.
