It’s been a wild ride for KATSEYE. Just two years into their journey, the international girl group has crashed the Billboard charts, played Coachella, covered Vanity Fair, and appeared on late-night network TV. A sold-out arena tour awaits.

Today, Aug. 14, the pop act drops a third EP, WILD (via HYBE x Geffen Records), led by the Billboard Hot 100 hits “PINKY UP” and “Animal,” co-written by Ed Sheeran.


WILD is the followup to 2025’s BEAUTIFUL CHAOS, an EP that debuted in the top five of the Billboard 200 (at No. 4), and earned Grammy Award nominations for best new artist and best pop duo/group performance, for “Gabriela”. That song is one of the act’s six appearances on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

KATSEYE will hit the road for THE WILDWORLD TOUR, which gets underway Sept. 1 at Dublin’s 3Arena, an expansive arena jaunt that takes the K-poppers into arenas in North America, the United Kingdom and Europe. The itinerary includes two-night stands at The O2 in London, UBS Arena in Belmont Park, NY, Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles and Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City.

For EYEKONS who can’t wait, the concert film KATSEYE: WILD HEARTS is currently playing at 1,700 cinemas across over 60 countries, reps say. Directed by Nadia Hallgren, the film captures never-before-seen footage, fan videos, and intimate interviews with the singers.

Physical releases (CD and vinyl) of WILD feature the individual band members and are available at Target and exclusively include the bonus track “Unloveu,” which KATSEYE’s member Lara Raj wrote and produced with Amy Allen (Harry Styles, Justin Bieber) and Ross Golan (Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez).

To celebrate the new release, KATSEYE will perform at the Citi Concert Series on NBC’s TODAY, just hours after returning to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon for an interview and a performance of “Animal.”

WILD represents a new era of “maturity, growing up,” Lara told Fallon.

Looking Ahead: A Release Calendar of New & Upcoming Canadian Albums In 2026

A regularly updating list of new and upcoming albums from Canadian artists. Keep checking back as artists announce new releases.

Canadian artists have moved into 2026 with some big releases on the horizon.

Some have begun their album cycles, others have confirmed release dates and some have just teased that their records will be out this year. It has been a growing industry trend for major name artists to put out new music with little or even no advance notice, so coming out with a definitive and iron-clad release schedule is an ongoing process. That's why we will now be updating this calendar throughout the year. Check back each week to see the new additions.
