The group Monsta X (MONSTA X) is carrying the hot momentum of its world tour straight into Japan.
Monsta X will raise the curtain in spectacular fashion on the "2026 Monsta X world tour [The X : Nexus] (2026 MONSTA X WORLD TOUR [THE X : NEXUS])" at 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 performance that comprehensively showcases the solid musical achievements Monsta X has built without rest over the past 11 years. Through a narrative-rich stage that links the past, present and future into a single flow, it will further strengthen the strong bond with Monbebe (official fandom name).
After kicking off last year in Seoul and successfully touring Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Taipei and Jakarta, Monsta X drew admiration at every show with unwavering live vocals and overwhelming performances. Completing a packed setlist that included a diverse medley of hits and solo stages that highlighted each member's boundless musical abilities, they plainly proved their true nature as a "current, active artist."
Their strong standing in Japan also draws attention. Last year Monsta X made a strong impression by appearing on Japan's representative music program TBS CDTV Live! Live!, and through their solo concert "2025 Monsta X Connect X" held in August of the same year, they reunited with local fans for the first time in six years and drew explosive response.
Their firm global influence is also reflected in various chart results. With the U.S. release on the 3rd of their third studio album Unfold (언폴드), they not only became the first K-pop artist to hold three U.S. studio albums, but also achieved the major record of entering the main chart, the Billboard 200, with every English studio album they have released. In addition, they swept major charts by showcasing strong power with No. 2 on Top Album Sales, No. 9 on Independent Albums and No. 37 on Billboard Artist 100.
Monsta X, which is continuing an unstoppable box-office run on stages around the world, is drawing the attention of global K-pop fans who are eager to see what explosive energy and highly polished performances they will bring to Japan on this tour.
