The "Monster" era is going global at a record-breaking pace. YG Entertainment has officially announced a significant expansion to BABYMONSTER’s first-ever world tour, "CHOOM World Tour 2026." Following an immediate sell-out of the initial legs in Seoul and Tokyo, the group is now set to bring their powerhouse vocals and "Hip-hop DNA" to major arenas across Southeast Asia and Oceania.

Fueled by the massive success of their latest album, DRIP, these newly added dates reflect the group’s rapidly growing influence as the new leaders of the 5th generation.
Southeast Asia: Manila and Bangkok Take Center Stage
Due to overwhelming demand during the pre-sale registration period, YG has added multiple "encore-style" shows and upgraded venues in two of the group's strongest markets:
- Manila, Philippines: The tour will now include two nights at the SM Mall of Asia Arena. Originally slated for a single night, the addition of a second date on August 15, 2026, ensures that more Filipino MONSTIEs can witness the group's live vocal prowess.
- Bangkok, Thailand: In a "homecoming" of sorts for members Chiquita and Pharita, the tour will stop at the IMPACT Arena for a three-night residency in late August. Bangkok remains the group’s largest digital stronghold, and these shows are expected to be the most high-energy of the entire circuit.
Heading Down Under: Oceania Tour Dates
In a move that signals BABYMONSTER’s intent to dominate the Western market, the "CHOOM" tour will officially head to Oceania in September 2026. This marks the first time the group will perform full-scale solo concerts in Australia and New Zealand.
| City | Venue | Date |
| Sydney, Australia | Qudos Bank Arena | Sept 5, 2026 |
| Melbourne, Australia | Rod Laver Arena | Sept 8, 2026 |
| Auckland, New Zealand | Spark Arena | Sept 12, 2026 |
The 'CHOOM' Experience
The tour title, "CHOOM" (Korean for "Dance"), reflects the group's commitment to high-intensity performance. Fans can expect a setlist that highlights their versatile discography:
- Live Band Sets: Rumors from the Seoul rehearsals suggest that the tour will feature a live band for hits like "SHEESH" and "BATTER UP," emphasizing the group's "live vocal" reputation.
- Unit Stages: The tour is expected to feature exclusive unit performances, showcasing the distinct rap and vocal colors of the seven members.
- New Tracks: Fans are anticipating the live debut of several B-sides from the DRIP album that have yet to be performed on music shows.
Ticketing and Fanclub Access
Tickets for the newly added dates will follow a tiered release system. MONSTIE Membership holders on Weverse will receive first priority for the "CHOOM" pre-sale, followed by general sales shortly after. Given the group’s current trajectory, these tickets are projected to sell out within minutes of launch.
