Get ready, Monbebe! The highly anticipated MONSTA X World Tour ‘THE X : NEXUS’ is officially kicking off its spectacular global journey, starting with a three-day residency in Seoul! Shownu, Minhyuk, Kihyun, Hyungwon, Joohoney, and I.M. are set to ignite the stage at KSPO Dome from January 30th to February 1st. This isn’t just any concert; it’s their first solo world tour in four years since the ‘NO LIMIT’ tour in 2022, and a triumphant return to the iconic KSPO Dome just six months after their ‘Connect X’ concert last July.
MONSTA X‘s Global Groove
Last year, celebrating their 10th anniversary, MONSTA X marked career highs with their albums and solidified their irreplaceable presence both domestically and internationally. They dazzled at the 2025 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour across major US cities and garnered prestigious accolades, including ‘AAA Best Artist’ and ‘AAA History of K-Pop’ at the AAA 2025, followed by the ‘Best Group’ award at the 40th Golden Disc Awards. With this incredible momentum, MONSTA X is poised to make 2026 another year of global domination, and ‘THE X : NEXUS’ is where it all begins!
As the tour prepares to blast off, let’s dive into the exhilarating highlights you absolutely can’t miss!
What to Expect from ‘THE X : NEXUS’
Unrivaled Stage Power 🎶
Prepare for a full-on spectacle! MONSTA X, known as ‘믿듣퍼’ (the group whose performances you can trust and believe in), is ready to prove their legendary stage dominance once again. After celebrating their 10th anniversary last year with career-high achievements and dazzling activities at home and abroad, they’re channeling 11 years of sheer skill and passion into this tour. Remember those tantalizing dance practice footstep spoilers on their official SNS? They’re hinting at an epic show, promising live performances and choreography that will give everyone the ultimate catharsis. Get ready to witness the true ‘Kings of Performance’!
A Full-Group Phenomenon 💎
The title ‘THE X : NEXUS’ goes beyond simply ‘connection’ between MONSTA X and Monbebe; it signifies a deeper, unbreakable ‘bond’ and a ‘new leap’ forward. And here’s the heartwarming news: member I.M., who is set to enlist on February 9th, will be joining the Seoul concerts! This means MONSTA X will be gracing the stage as a complete six-member group for a truly special moment with their fans.
This tour is poised to be a massive catalyst, launching them into their next chapter. Expect an epic setlist that includes tracks from their mini-album ‘THE X’ and a journey through the team’s entire narrative. Fans are buzzing to witness the quintessential MONSTA X experience, solidifying their connection and embarking on a new story together.
Six Shades of Solo Brilliance ✨
But wait, there’s more! Get ready for an array of special solo stages showcasing diverse genres. As a ‘self-producing’ group, MONSTA X has consistently proven their songwriting prowess with self-composed tracks on every album. This tour will be a canvas for each member to unleash their unique musical identity, honed through their solo and unit activities. These individualized stages promise a different kind of charm compared to their group performances, reaffirming the boundless musical spectrum of MONSTA X. It’s going to be a showcase of pure talent!
MONSTA X will kick off the 2026 ‘THE X : NEXUS’ World Tour in Seoul at KSPO Dome on January 30th at 7:30 PM, January 31st at 6 PM, and February 1st at 4 PM, before taking their electrifying energy to major global cities.
This tour is an incredible testament to MONSTA X‘s enduring power and the unbreakable bond they share with Monbebe. Witnessing them come together as six before I.M.‘s enlistment is a truly special moment, cementing their legacy as performance legends.
