The group Monsta X (MONSTA X) will carry the hot momentum of their world tour straight into Japan.
Monsta X will raise the curtain on the glamorous '2026 Monsta X World Tour [The X : Nexus] (2026 MONSTA X WORLD TOUR [THE X : NEXUS])' at Chiba LaLa Arena Tokyo Bay in Chiba on the 28th and 29th. Starting with this Chiba performance, they will move to Osaka Ōkini Arena Maishima on May 3 and 4 to passionately connect with local fans.
This world tour, 'The X : Nexus,' is a meaningful concert that comprehensively showcases the solid musical achievements Monsta X has tirelessly built over the past 11 years. Through a narratively rich stage that links the past, present and future into a single flow, they will further strengthen the tight bond with Monbebe (official fandom name).
After previously kicking off in Seoul last year and successfully touring in Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Taipei and Jakarta, Monsta X drew admiration at every show with unwavering live vocals and overwhelming performances. They proved their true colors as a current artist by completing a packed set list that included a diverse medley of hits and solo stages highlighting each member's boundless musical abilities.
Their formidable standing in Japan also draws attention. Monsta X made a strong impression last year with an appearance on Japan's representative music program TBS' CDTV live! live!, and through the solo concert '2025 Monsta X Connect X' held in August of the same year, they reunited with local fans after six years and drew explosive responses.
Their steady global influence is also reflected in chart performance. With the release on the 3rd of their third U.S. full-length album Unfold (Unfold), they became the first K-pop artist to have three U.S. studio albums, and they set a major record by placing every English studio album they released on the main chart, the Billboard 200. In addition, they swept major charts, ranking No. 2 on Top Album Sales, No. 9 on Independent Albums and No. 37 on Billboard Artist 100, showcasing their formidable power.
Monsta X, which is continuing an unstoppable box office run across the globe, has global K-pop fans focused on what explosive energy and highly polished stages they will bring to captivate Japan on this tour.
