G-Dragon announced initial plans for his upcoming solo world tour via agency Galaxy Corporation on Thursday.
According to the poster unveiled, he is planning to hit the stage at Tokyo Dome May 10-11. After the two-date show, he will visit seven more cities in Asia: from Bulacan, Philippines and Osaka, Japan to Macao, Taipei and Hong Kong as well as Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta. The artist will be performing at Tokyo Dome and Kyocera Dome in Osaka for the first time in about eight years, since his previous solo tour 'Act III: M.O.T.T.E.'
The upcoming tour is named after his third solo full album, 'Ubermensch,' that was rolled out last month. The LP swept all music charts at home, from real-time and daily to weekly tallies, as did focus track 'Too Bad (feat. Anderson. Paak)' while all songs from the album made it to the top 15 on the Melon chart, a first in the chart's history.
