ILLIT announces encore concerts in Incheon and Tokyo Bay after sold-out world tour
ILLIT will hold encore shows in Incheon (Oct 17–18) and Chiba (Dec 23–24, 26–27) following a 7-city, 15-show tour that sold out every date.
ILLIT has announced ILLIT LIVE 'PRESS START♥︎' ENCORE, with dates set for October 17–18 at Incheon Inspire Arena and December 23–24 and 26–27 at Lala Arena Tokyo Bay in Chiba, Japan.
The encore run follows the group's first world tour, PRESS START♥︎. Seoul, five Japanese cities, and Hong Kong hosted all 15 shows across 7 cities—every one sold out. The Hong Kong leg expanded from one date to two. Additional restricted-view and standing-room tickets went on sale before the final tally hit 15 performances.
The announcement came one day after ILLIT dropped their second Japanese single, I Got Your Back, on July 26. The title track hit No. 1 on Japan's AWA Music real-time rising chart right after release. B-side Sunday Morning landed at No. 3. JISOO and MOMOKA of Japanese girl group HANA are featured on the title track.
Before the encore dates arrive, ILLIT has a packed Japanese media schedule: NHK's Uta Con on July 28, Fuji TV's Mezamashi TV on July 29, and festival appearances at Mezamashi WANGAN Festival and LuckyFes 2026 in August. A lot of Japanese TV for a group that just dropped a chart-topper there.
