Global girl group XG is bringing their second world tour, “XG WORLD TOUR: THE CORE,” to Manila this July, with the Philippines included in the Asia leg alongside Bangkok and Taipei.
The Manila stop is scheduled for July 22, 2026 (Wednesday), 8PM at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.
The tour supports the group’s first full album, “THE CORE – 核,” released on January 23, 2026. The project marked a major milestone for XG, debuting within the Top 100 of the Billboard 200. Fans can expect a mix of the group’s standout tracks like “LEFT RIGHT” and “WOKE UP,” along with newer releases including “HYPNOTIZE” and “ROCK THE BOAT.”
Prior to its Asia run, the tour launched in Japan, where shows across Yokohama, Osaka, and Nagoya sold out, highlighting the group’s strong demand. “THE CORE” follows the success of their first world tour, “XG 1st WORLD TOUR ‘The first HOWL,’” which ran across 35 cities with 47 shows and drew approximately 400,000 attendees. The tour concluded with a Tokyo Dome finale on May 14, 2025, attended by around 50,000 fans.
In April 2025, XG also took the stage at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, where they were the only Japanese act in the lineup, headlined the Sahara Stage, and received praise from both Japanese and international media.
