G-Dragon to Bring ‘Übermensch' Tour to U.S. and Europe
Well, he said he would be back. After a headlining performance at Head in the Clouds Los Angeles last month (which marked his first U.S. performance since 2017), G-Dragon has announced U.S. and Europe dates for his ongoing Übermensch tour. The newly announced leg includes shows at both Newark, New Jersey's Prudential Center and Los Angeles' Arena, venues he's returning to for the first time since BIGBANG's MADE tour 10 years ago, in addition to stops in Las Vegas and Paris. More from Rolling Stone The B-52's, Devo to Embark on Co-Headlining Cosmic De-Evolution Tour BTS' Jungkook and Jimin Discharged from Korean Military After RM and V Clave Especial Will Celebrate the 'Power of Corridos' During First-Ever Tour Throughout his career, G-Dragon has pushed boundaries and cemented himself as an influential cultural force not just in music but in fashion, visual arts, and philanthropy. 'This isn't just a concert — it's my next chapter. I've grown, changed, and challenged myself in ways I never imagined,' he shares exclusively with Rolling Stone. 'I want my fans to feel every second of that transformation live on stage together.' The Übermensch tour began in late March, roughly a month after the release of G-Dragon's latest album of the same name. Launching with two sold-out shows at Seoul's Goyang Stadium, the tour has since made its way across Asia — selling out nearly every stop along the way. His latest stop was three shows in Macau, one of which was added due to demand. Although the tour centers on his latest album, fans can expect a setlist that spans across G-Dragon's solo career. G-Dragon has been dropping dates and venues in different phases, with the first phase covering Japan, the Philippines, Macau, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Hong Kong, and the second phase consisting of Australia and Thailand just weeks ago. 'I'M COMING HOME,' he wrote on Instagram when sharing the dates for the first announcement. With just a few U.S. dates on the schedule as of now, ticket demand is expected to be high. Tickets for the new shows will go on sale on June 27 at 10 a.m. local time via the tour's official website with a special presale for fans via G-Dragon's official fan community on June 25. The new leg of the tour is produced by Galaxy Corporation and AEG Presents, with Infinite Prospects Entertainment as the local promoter.
