The group ILLIT sold out 15 shows across seven cities on their first tour 'PRESS START♥︎' and has confirmed an encore performance.
On the 27th, Belift Lab Inc. announced ILLIT (Yoon-a, Min-ju, Moca, Won-hee, Iroha)'s encore performance, saying, "Thanks to the support from fans around the world, we will hold 'ILLIT LIVE 'PRESS START♥︎' ENCORE'. We ask for a lot of interest from GLLIT (Gllit, the fandom name)," it said.
The encore performances will open at Incheon Inspire Arena from Oct. 17 to 18 and conclude at LaLa Arena in Chiba, Japan, on Dec. 23–24 and Dec. 26–27.
ILLIT's first tour "ILLIT LIVE 'PRESS START♥︎'" (hereafter "PRESS START♥︎") received praise for its witty, game-like staged progression and for harmoniously blending the group's wide-ranging musical world.
In particular, their strong ticket power was proven as tickets for all dates of the tour, including Seoul, five cities in Japan and Hong Kong, sold out early, leading to the additional opening of some restricted-view and standing tickets. The Hong Kong show, originally scheduled for one day, was extended by a day, expanding the tour to a total of 15 shows in seven cities.
Meanwhile, on the 26th ILLIT released the Japanese single 2nd album I Got Your Back. "I Got Your Back" is a song about girls who grow through repeated struggles, delivering deep empathy and comfort.
ILLIT will also perform this August at major Japanese festivals including Mezamashi WANGAN Festival and LuckyFes'26 (Lucky Festival 2026).<
