K-Pop Tours Are Not Slowing Down – 2026 Is Already Calling

Here we are again – that end-of-year feeling where you start looking back at all the madness we’ve already had and then immediately start getting excited about what’s coming next. And honestly, 2025 really did that for K-pop in the UK.

We’ve had Stray Kids absolutely packing out Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for two huge summer dates, Blackpink owning Wembley Stadium like it was their living room, and a full-on K-pop takeover at The O2 Arena with Enhypen, Tomorrow X Together, and the epic SMTown Family show. Seeing everyone from aespa to NCT Wish, Red Velvet to EXO, RIIZE and even newbies Hearts2Hearts on one stage? Unreal. Proper “we were there” moments.

So if you’re thinking, “Right, that’s it, I’m emotionally drained, my wallet needs a break”… yeah, sorry, because 2026 is already lining up to ruin us in the best way possible.

If you haven’t had your fill of K-pop beats, synchronised routines, colourful fits and those visuals that leave you questioning reality, here’s what’s been announced so far — and trust me, it’s already looking strong.

We’re kicking things off early with ARTMS hitting O2 Forum Kentish Town on January 13th, 2026. Intimate venue, serious talent — this one is going to feel special. Then it’s straight into the big leagues with P1Harmony bringing the energy to OVO Arena Wembley on January 30th. If you’ve seen them live before, you already know this is going to be loud, sweaty and chaotic in the best way.

February keeps things interesting with XLOV at Troxy on February 8th — which is such a perfect venue for a K-pop show, by the way — followed by Lee Minhyuk (HUTA) pulling up to Dingwalls on February 28th. Solo stages just hit different, and I already know the vibes for this one are going to be immaculate.

March is absolutely stacked. JustB are heading to Islington Assembly Hall on March 12th, and then NMIXX take over Eventim Apollo on March 26th. If you’re a fan of powerhouse vocals and high-octane choreography, that NMIXX show is already screaming “don’t miss this”.

And then… because why not go full main-character energy — Twice are back at The O2 Arena for two nights, June 3rd and 4th, 2026. Yes, two. If that doesn’t tell you everything you need to know, I don’t know what will.

Honestly, this is just what’s been announced so far, and we all know how quickly these lists grow. If you need help getting hyped, discovering new groups or just screaming about comebacks with someone who gets it, you know where I am.
