Japanese girl group XG, also known as Xtraordinary Genes, revealed the dates for the North American leg of their second world tour on Thursday (May 21). The seven-show winter 2026 leg of the XG WORLD TOUR: THE CORE is scheduled to begin on Nov. 3 at Oakland Arena in Oakland.
The tour will continue with November stops in Los Angeles, Chicago, Hamilton, Ontario, Newark, New Jersey, and Dallas before concluding 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 continue through 10 p.m. local time on May 28. Registration for the ALPHAZ paid members presale is currently open, and once registration is completed, users will receive a unique presale code on the application page required to purchase tickets.
A limited number of VIP packages will also become available starting May 27 at 10 a.m. local time, while general ticket sales for the tour dates will open on May 29 at 10 a.m. local time.
The North American concerts follow the launch of the tour supporting the group’s first full-length album, The Core – 核, which was released on Jan. 23 this year. The tour originally kicked off with a series of February shows in their home country of Japan, and the upcoming North American dates will mark XG’s first U.S. tour since the group made history last April as the only Japanese act to perform at Coachella.
The group — made up of members JURIN, CHISA, HINATA, HARVEY, JURIA, MAYA and COCONA — is also set to return to the U.S. on Aug. 8 for the 2026 Head in the Clouds Music & Arts Festival at Brookside at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. They will perform alongside KATSEYE, Dabin.kr, UMI, LNGSHOT, KiiKiii and other artists.
