The summer of 2025 witnessed several historical moments for K-pop in the United States. "King of K-pop" G-DRAGON returned to an American stage after eight years at Head in the Clouds in LA; Stray Kids and ATEEZ headlined sold-out shows at Citi Field in New York City; and K-pop-inspired girl group KATSEYE performed a record-breaking daytime set at Lollapalooza, where TWICE also made history as the first K-pop group to headline the Chicago festival.

However, the tours and special events of 2025 are not over yet: this fall is shaping up to be K-pop's new time to dominate in North America. 

In September alone, nine acts are coming to the U.S., Canada, and Mexico for their tours, plus 88rising's Head in the Clouds will host its first "Under the K" festival in Brooklyn, New York. LE SSERAFIM also launch their first stateside tour this month, while KEY of SHINee will host his first solo U.S. tour in December. In addition, 1VERSE's fans recently voted for the group's upcoming tour stops with more details to come, and Korean rapper pH-1 just revealed dates for his next North America tour, too.

Below, check out 17 concerts and festivals that will make their way to North America between September and December.

Sept. 20

The New York edition of Head in the Clouds returns on Sept. 20 at a new location.

Subtitled as "Under the K" and teased as "a party under the bridge," the one-day festival will be located at Under the K Bridge Park in Brooklyn.

P1Harmony: 2025 P1Harmony LIVE TOUR [P1ustage H : MOST WANTED] IN NORTH AMERICA

Sept. 27–Oct. 21

These next few weeks will be a whirlwind for P1Harmony — but in a good way.

They will continue sharing their cheeky, but always meaningful discography with their fans, P1ECE, during the MOST WANTED Tour. 

The group will spend most of September sharing songs from DUH! and touring in Asia. However, on Sept. 27, their show in Newark will kick off the North America leg. Hitting eight cities, MOST WANTED will conclude with a show in Oakland, Calif., on Oct. 21.

STAYC's fandom, SWITH, can expect performances from their first full-album, Metamorphic, as well as their 2025 single albums.  

PURPLE KISS: A Violet to Remember

Oct. 5–Oct. 28 

On Aug. 4, RBW Entertainment announced that PURPLE KISS will be disbanding in November. But before they're finished, the sextet will embark on their last hurrah as a group in the States on Oct. 5, kicking off a 13-show tour across the country. 

A Violet to Remember Tour will serve as a walk down memory lane for both the group and their fans, PLORY. The tour, which comes off the heels of July's single album I Miss My…, will kick off in Charlotte, N.C., hitting 13 cities before their final show on Oct. 28 in San Jose, Calif. Perhaps the group will go back to their roots during these shows and share their debut track "Ponzona" or their cheeky single "Zombie" with PLORY one last time.

SEVENTEEN: SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR [NEW_] IN U.S.

Oct. 11–Oct. 30

Almost exactly a year after hitting five U.S. cities in 2024, powerhouse K-pop group SEVENTEEN will return to the states in October. They will kick off their latest stateside trek in Tacoma, Wash., on Oct. 11, then playing two shows each in Los Angeles; Austin, Texas; Sunrise, Florida; and Washington, D.C.

While only nine of the 13 members will be performing on stage this time — eldest members Jeonghan, Wonwoo, Hoshi, and Woozi are currently doing their mandatory military service or about to enlist — fans can still anticipate SEVENTEEN's signature energy. And who knows, maybe solo member stages from HAPPY BURSTDAY will appear on the setlist.

Oct. 30–Dec. 7

Fantasy, it's your time again! On Oct. 30, SF9 will kick off their LOVE DAWN Tour in Boston at the Strand Theatre, their first venture back to the States in three years.

Members Youngbin, Inseong, Jaeyoon, Hwiyoung, and Chani will participate in this month-and-a-half tour, as Rowoon is no longer part of the group; Dawon is currently in the military; Zuho has conflicting acting schedules; and Yoo Taeyang is recovering from an injury. LOVE DAWN will make stops in 18 cities all across America, wrapping up in Los Angeles on Dec. 7.

December

KEY: 2025 KEYLAND : Uncanny Valley - North America Tour

Dec. 3–Dec. 15

If SHINee fans thought the group was done with their 2025 surprises following the release of special single "Poet | Artist," then they are in for a shock: KEY will headline his first solo tour in North America to close out the year. 

In 2018, the SHINee member debuted as a soloist, building a discography of three mini albums, three full-length albums and two album repackages in that time. Now, he will share this music with North American fans, including cuts off of his most-recent album, HUNTER. 

The six-city trek of KEYLAND : Uncanny Valley will begin in Los Angeles on Dec. 3 and wrap up in Seattle on Dec. 15. With additional stops in Oakland, Dallas/Forth Worth, Brooklyn, and Chicago, KEY will bring this "No Way!" year of K-pop to a close with a dramatic flourish.
