IVE Are Bringing 'SHOW WHAT I AM' to North America and Every Member Gets a Solo Stage
the tour hits canada and the US from late july before wrapping the leg in vancouver, then swings to hong kong and taipei in september. six members, six solo stages — start budgeting now, bestie.
the detail that should honestly be illegal: every single member of IVE has built her own solo stage into this setlist. six women, six individual moments, one arena full of people each sobbing at a different point in the night. "each member has also prepared a special solo stage," the group told Billboard. ma'am. the fancam situation is about to be catastrophic.
the routing: after finishing the asia, australia and new zealand run, anyujin, gaeul, rei, jang wonyoung, liz and leeseo pick it back up in late july with toronto and montreal, then newark, austin, los angeles, oakland and seattle, before circling north to close the leg at rogers arena in vancouver on august 9. arenas the whole way down.
and it doesn't stop there — september brings two nights in hong kong and two more at taipei arena. rest was, apparently, not among the options presented to them.
the whole thing is built on 'REVIVE+,' the 12-track album from february that hit No. 3 on Billboard's World Albums chart and landed roughly three years after 'I've IVE.' the group says there's a stack of new material they've been itching to play live, which is both a threat and a promise.
for context on the demand: their 2024 run was the seventh-highest-grossing k-pop tour of that year at $10.8 million across just ten shows, per Billboard Boxscore. TEN shows. now imagine what a full north american leg does to that math.
DIVEs, set the alarm and check your bank app first. this one's going to move.
