KATSEYE has officially kicked off their first-ever North American tour and they did it with a major surprise. The group premiered an unreleased song exclusively for international fans, setting the tone for a powerful and history-making tour.
A Sold-Out Tour Opener in Minneapolis
On November 16, KATSEYE opened their ‘The BEAUTIFUL CHAOS’ North American tour at The Armory in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The tour became a hot topic even before it began, selling out all seats immediately upon ticket release.
Thanks to explosive demand, shows in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles added extra performance dates, signaling KATSEYE’s growing international pull and solidifying their rise as one of K-pop’s most promising newcomers.
For the kickoff concert, the group performed a full 15-song setlist, mixing emotional storytelling with signature high-energy routines. Their hit tracks “Gabriela” and “Gnarly” were rearranged into dance-break versions, allowing the members to show sharper choreography and polished live vocals.
Unreleased Track ‘Internet Girl’ Premieres Onstage
The highlight of the night came when KATSEYE introduced a brand-new, never-before-heard track: “Internet Girl.” Designed as a special gift for North American fans, the performance sparked explosive cheers from the audience.
“Internet Girl” explores how women face constant comparison, judgment, and misogyny online and boldly pushes back against it. The song’s addictive hook, heavy beats, and razor-sharp choreography brought intense energy to the venue, proving the group’s ambition and artistic depth.
A Nostalgic Surprise for Longtime Fans
In a heartfelt gesture, KATSEYE also performed a medley of songs they had sung during their audition program days. This nostalgic segment moved many fans, honoring those who have supported the group since the very beginning.
Their debut tour captured international media attention as well. Vogue praised KATSEYE’s milestone achievement, writing, “They’ve reached yet another gnarly milestone this weekend.” The Star Tribune offered similar praise: “A near-perfect performance. From the backflip in ‘Gabriela’ to their breath-stopping vocals, KATSEYE delivered an experience that felt truly authentic.”
Upcoming Tour Stops Across North America
KATSEYE continues the tour on November 18 in Toronto, with additional stops in Boston, New York, Washington D.C., Atlanta, Sugar Land, Irving, Phoenix, San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles, and Mexico City.
With a sold-out opener, glowing reviews, and a surprise new song, their first North American tour is shaping up to be a defining chapter in the group’s career.
