XG Announces North American Dates For ‘XG WORLD TOUR: THE CORE’
Rosa Gulliver of TINYGMUSIC | May 21, 2026
Global pop group XG has announced the North American leg of their highly anticipated second world tour, ‘XG WORLD TOUR: THE CORE.’ The 7-show arena run kicks off Tuesday, November 3 in Oakland, CA and includes stops in Los Angeles, CA, Chicago, IL, Hamilton, ON, Newark, NJ and Dallas, TX before wrapping on Sunday, November 22 in Mexico City, MX.
The North American dates follow the launch of ‘XG WORLD TOUR: THE CORE’ in Japan this past February, where the group played multiple sold-out shows across Yokohama, Osaka, Nagoya and more.
The tour arrives on the heels of XG’s first full-length album, THE CORE – 核, which debuted on the Billboard 200 and marked another major milestone in the group’s global rise. Its pre-release single “GALA” became XG’s third Top 40 U.S. radio hit following “LEFT RIGHT” and “WOKE UP,” with “LEFT RIGHT” spending 13 consecutive weeks on the chart. “GALA” was also named Billboard’s favourite new music release in a fan-voted poll during launch week and debuted in the Top 10 of Billboard’s Dance Digital Song Sales chart alongside artists including Lady Gaga, Rihanna, BLACKPINK, and HUNTR/X.
This marks XG’s first U.S. tour since making history as the only Japanese artist to perform at Coachella in April 2025, where they headlined the iconic SAHARA stage and earned widespread acclaim from U.S. and international media. The group will return to the U.S. festival circuit this August with a performance at Head in the Clouds in Los Angeles.

About XG:
XG (Xtraordinary Genes) is a seven-member global pop group consisting of JURIN, CHISA, HINATA, HARVEY, JURIA, MAYA, and COCONA. Unbound by innate attributes or predefined frameworks, XG unleashes the power and creativity that lie within each individual’s core.
By continuously creating new culture without being constrained by convention, XG seeks to empower people across the world from all walks of life. Known for their high-concept visuals, performance-driven artistry, and genre-blending sound, the group has emerged as one of the most internationally successful acts to come out of Japan in recent years. All of their music is performed in English, helping fuel a rapidly growing global fanbase and major crossover success in the U.S. market.
Since debuting in 2022 with “Tippy Toes,” XG has amassed more than 1 billion streams on Spotify alone and landed multiple Top 40 U.S. radio hits, including “LEFT RIGHT,” “WOKE UP,” and “GALA,” with “LEFT RIGHT” spending 13 consecutive weeks on the chart.
The group has continued to break barriers globally, becoming the first Japanese artist to appear on the cover of Billboard, and in 2025, made history as the only Japanese artist to perform at Coachella, where they headlined the iconic SAHARA stage and earned widespread acclaim from U.S. and international media. Later that year, they made a showstopping U.S. television debut on the Season 29 finale of The Voice with a performance of “GALA.”
Their first full-length studio album, THE CORE – 核, released in January 2026, debuted on the Billboard 200, further cementing XG’s breakout momentum in the U.S. The group is currently on their second world tour, ‘XG WORLD TOUR: THE CORE,’ following their first global run, which drew approximately 400,000 attendees across 47 shows in 35 cities worldwide. XG will also return to the U.S. festival circuit this August with a performance at Head in the Clouds in Los Angeles.

A place name such as Modzerowo makes me curious about the everyday knowledge people connect with their surroundings. Local memories, familiar routes, and small changes can all become questions worth investigating. That is the angle I associate with Modzerowo local learning. I like learning projects that begin with a detail someone has noticed rather than a conclusion already supplied. A student can discover something new about a familiar name by asking who remembers it differently and what those memories help explain.
What draws my attention to building everyday cybersecurity awareness is the possibility of making an unfamiliar subject feel closer to everyday life. Recognising an unexpected message is a useful first step before deciding whether to trust it. I would use that point as a starting question when considering cybersecurity awareness basics. I would probably come back to this question after trying to work through one concrete example rather than deciding immediately. Which examples make online safety lessons memorable for beginners?
There is something approachable about discussing choosing books for a varied reading collection through situations people can actually picture. A balanced collection can include familiar interests and a few titles that invite something new. It also gives the phrase book selection ideas a clearer meaning than a label on its own. The part I would like to explore further is what happens when the idea meets a real situation with its own limitations. How do you choose books for readers with very different tastes?
The subject of exploring the paths taken by graduates feels more interesting when there is room for a reader to stop and ask their own questions. A career story can show the changes and decisions that a short job title leaves out. That connection helps me see why graduate career pathways can be worth a closer look. I am more curious about the process than a polished result, because the steps in between are usually where questions appear. Which questions would make an interview with a graduate useful for current students?
I find making maths understandable through clear examples easier to think about when there is a concrete question to start from. Following one worked example slowly can reveal the reasoning behind a method. This is why I would approach mathematics learning support with a specific question rather than a fixed expectation. I am still thinking through the details, and a small example would help me picture how this works in practice. What helps a learner move from copying a solution to choosing a method independently?
