Global rising girl group KATSEYE is officially in their breakout era. Fresh off two GRAMMY® nominations—Best New Artist and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for their hit “Gabriela”—the group has launched their first-ever headline tour, KATSEYE: The Beautiful Chaos Tour, named after their Billboard top 5 EP BEAUTIFUL CHAOS (HYBE x Geffen Records).
The tour kicked off on November 15 at The Armory in Minneapolis, and demand was immediate. After selling out in minutes, second shows were added in New York City, San Francisco, and Los Angeles—and those sold out just as fast.
Up next is Toronto on November 18, followed by stops across the U.S., with the tour wrapping in Mexico City on December 16. Full itinerary is listed below.
A Landmark Year for KATSEYE
This tour marks a milestone moment for the group, but momentum has been building all year:
Festival Breakthroughs
Earned major praise for their Lollapalooza debut, with NYLON calling it “red-hot.”
Took the stage at Summer Sonic Festival in Tokyo, Japan.
Made their first UK appearance in late October, introduced by Melanie C of the Spice Girls, who moderated a fan Q&A.
Rolling Stone UK declared:
“KATSEYE are… the Spice Girls of the social media age. I think they will become the defining girl group of the 2020s.”
The Music That Started It All
Their EP BEAUTIFUL CHAOS features two major breakout records:
“Gnarly” — Over 100 million global streams.
“Gabriela” — Called “a bold evolution” by HYPEBEAST.
A remix with Young Miko turned “Gabriela” into a fan-favorite anthem, with Remezcla saying it has become “an undeniable Latine queer anthem.”
VMA Takeover
KATSEYE recently took home the 2025 MTV VMA for Push Performance of the Year for “Touch.”They performed “Gnarly” and “Gabriela” live at the ceremony, capturing widespread attention:
Harper’s Bazaar: “A jaw-dropping performance… the crowd went wild.”
Entertainment Tonight: “KATSEYE Slays VMAs.”
The FADER: “Their 2025 VMAs performances prove they’re up next.”
Cultural Influence & Viral Moments
KATSEYE’s impact extends beyond music:
GAP “Better in Denim” campaign — went viral as fans copied choreography from the Robbie Blue–choreographed ad (over 45 million views on YouTube).
Halloween special — a Mariah Carey homage featuring a cameo from Carey herself and an appearance by Bowen Yang as the interviewer.
Fashion spotlight — Vogue provided a first look at their tour wardrobe, while Teen Vogue and Highsnobiety went behind-the-scenes of their GAP shoot.
The Group Behind the Movement
KATSEYE is a truly global lineup, shaped by the K-pop artist development model and introduced through HYBE & Geffen’s Dream Academy program—later documented in Netflix’s Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE.
