Infinite, one of the most iconic K-pop groups, is set to embark on an extensive tour across eight cities in Asia to celebrate its 15th debut anniversary, announced the group's agency, Infinite Company, on Thursday. The tour will commemorate the group's journey in the industry and reconnect with fans who have supported them throughout their storied career.
The anniversary tour will kick off in Seoul with a three-day concert from December 6 to 8 at the KSPO Dome, marking the beginning of a series of performances that will extend into 2024. Following the Seoul concerts, Infinite will travel to Taipei, Macau, Jakarta, Singapore, Yokohama, and Kuala Lumpur, and finally wrap up in Hong Kong on March 1. This marks the band's most extensive tour since their return as a complete group.
The tour comes on the heels of the group's release of their seventh EP, "13egin," in July last year. This album was particularly significant as it marked the first time the entire group came together to produce new music in five years, signaling a revival of the band’s dynamic synergy that had captured fans worldwide. The group's successful fan meetup in July this year, which was the first to feature all members in seven years, showcased their enduring popularity and the loyalty of their fanbase.
Infinite made its debut in June 2010 with the EP "First Invasion" and quickly rose to fame with its unique blend of catchy hooks and intricate choreography. Over the past 15 years, the group has released 26 albums, including three full-length studio albums, and has carved out a legacy in the K-pop industry as one of the leading acts of its generation. The band's journey has been characterized by consistent innovation in their music and powerful live performances that have left a lasting impact on both fans and critics alike.
The upcoming tour is expected to feature a mix of their classic hits alongside newer tracks, providing a comprehensive showcase of Infinite's evolution as artists. Fans can anticipate emotionally charged performances that highlight the band's musical journey from its early days to its current status as K-pop legends.
While the full group prepares for the tour, member Nam Woohyun is currently wrapping up his solo tour across Asia, which is set to conclude later this month. His solo activities demonstrate the members' ability to shine individually while still contributing to the group's collective success.
Industry analysts note that Infinite's return to the concert stage as a full unit is a significant milestone not only for the group but also for the broader K-pop landscape. It highlights the lasting appeal of second-generation K-pop groups in an industry that is constantly evolving with new talent. Infinite's ability to maintain its relevance and continue to draw in large audiences underscores their status as a legacy act in the world of K-pop.
Infinite Company has expressed its enthusiasm for the upcoming tour, emphasizing that it will be a celebration of the band's achievements over the past 15 years. The agency noted that the concerts will be more than just performances; they will be a tribute to the unwavering support of their fans, who have stood by the group through their various milestones and transformations.
With the 15th anniversary tour, Infinite aims to not only reflect on their past achievements but also set the stage for new musical explorations and creative projects. As the band members prepare to reconnect with their fans across Asia, the tour promises to be a celebration of both nostalgia and a renewed sense of purpose in their musical journey.
