Global pop group XG turned heads on the American Music Awards red carpet in Las Vegas, NV on May 25.

The group just announced the North American leg of their highly anticipated second world tour, ‘XG WORLD TOUR: THE CORE,’ including arena shows in LA and NY. More information is available HERE.

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.

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.
