XG Announces Dates For North American XG World Tour: The Core Winter 2026 Arena Run

Japanese girl group XG, aka Xtraordinary Genes, announced the dates for the North American leg of their second world tour on Thursday (May 21). The seven-show winter 2026 run of the XG WORLD TOUR: THE CORE outing is slated to kick off on Nov. 3 at the Oakland Arena in Oakland, Calif.

The tour will then move on to November gigs in Los Angeles, Chicago, Hamilton, Ontario, Newark, N.J. and Dallas before winding down on Nov. 22 at Arena Ciudad de Mexico in Mexico City. The ALPHAZ paid members presale will begin on May 27 at 10 a.m. local time and run through 10 p.m. local time on May 28. Registration for the ALPHAZ paid members presale is open now here; once registration is completed, a unique presale code required to purchase tickets will be displayed on the application page.

A limited number of VIP packages will be available starting on May 27 at 10 a.m. local time and a general onsale for the dates will begin on May 29 at 10 a.m. local time, with ticket information here.

The North American shows follow the launch of the tour in support of the group’s first full-length album, The Core – 核, which dropped on Jan. 23 of this year. The tour began with a run of February shows in their native Japan and the North American gigs will mark XG’s first U.S. tour since they made history last April as the only Japanese artist to perform at Coachella.

The group — comprised of members JURIN, CHISA, HINATA, HARVEY, JURIA, MAYA and COCONA — will be back in the U.S. on Aug. 8 when they perform at the 2026 Head in the Clouds Music & Arts Festival showcasing Asian bands at Brookside at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., where they will take the stage alongside KATSEYE, South Korean rapper Dabin.kr, R&B singer-songwriter UMI, K-pop boy band LNGSHOT, South Korean girl group KiiKiii and others.
