K-pop group i-dle revealed plans for its largest north american tour during an appearance on nbc's today show. The syncopation world tour will visit 10 cities across canada, the united states and mexico starting in august 2026. The announcement coincides with the release of their latest single mono feat skaiwater.
K-pop girl group i-dle announced the north american leg of its syncopation world tour on nbc's today show on wednesday, march 4, 2026. The quintet expressed excitement about returning to the region after a two-year hiatus. "(our last) tour was two years ago, so we miss our fans so much," member yuqi said during the appearance. The group also performed their latest single, "mono (feat. skaiwater)," which marks their first new music in eight months and features a minimalist beat and introspective sound, accompanied by a black-and-white music video blending intimate scenes with large-scale choreography.
Cube entertainment, i-dle's agency, released the official tour poster on thursday, march 5, 2026, via the group's social media accounts. The north american dates begin on august 2 at td coliseum in hamilton, canada, the only canadian stop on this leg. Subsequent performances include newark at prudential center, philadelphia at xfinity center, atlanta at state farm arena, orlando at kia center, san antonio at frost bank center on august 13, los angeles at kia forum, oakland arena, seattle at climate pledge arena, and mexico city at palacio de los deportes.
The syncopation world tour kicked off in seoul last month and will continue in asian cities like taipei and bangkok, as well as australia, before heading to north america. Additional cities and dates are to be announced later. Fans, known as neverland, can purchase general tickets starting wednesday, march 11, at 3 p.m. through sites like ticketmaster.com and frostbankcenter.com. The tour follows a teased major new project set for release in may 2026, which i-dle has described as setting the tone for the global shows. The group has achieved multiple no. 1 debuts in korea and seven top 10 entries on the billboard world albums chart, solidifying their status outside k-pop's big four agencies.
