Per the schedule, IVE will kick off the North American leg on July 21 at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. The run then moves through Montreal, Newark, Austin, Los Angeles, Oakland and Seattle before wrapping on August 9 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver. In September, the group will extend the tour to Asia with four shows across Hong Kong and Taipei.
The itinerary also includes major Asian stops in Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Singapore and Macau, and a June run in Australia and New Zealand. Singapore and Macau dates have already sold out, underscoring IVE’s international pull.
With an April date locked in at Kyocera Dome Osaka, the group is expected to add more cities and countries as the tour expands its global footprint.

The announcement video released alongside the dates drew attention for its cinematic editing. It layers the pre-release double title track \"BANG BANG\" from IVE’s second studio album under whispered exchanges between the members, intercut with vibrant footage from last year’s Seoul concerts. The final reveal—announcing the tour dates with the line IVE is coming—heightened anticipation among fans.
Billboard provided an exclusive preview of the North American and Asian dates, signaling IVE’s rising global stature. The outlet also ran interviews with the members, where they discussed their ambitions, further amplifying international interest.
IVE launched the second world tour last year with a three-night run at Seoul’s KSPO DOME (formerly the Olympic Gymnastics Arena) from October 31 to November 2. Those shows underscored the group’s tightened teamwork and expanded musical range. The set also featured unreleased solo stages from each member, a move that reinforced IVE’s reputation as a formidable live act.
For this leg of the tour, the group plans to shift the conceptual focus from the individual \"me\" to a collective \"we,\" highlighting connection and unity. True to the tour title SHOW WHAT I AM, fans can expect a deeper, more layered presentation of the group’s artistry.
IVE released their second studio album REVIVE+ on the 23rd of last month. The pre-release single \"BANG BANG\" topped domestic charts and achieved a Perfect All-Kill (PAK), marking the group’s sixth career PAK and the first PAK of 2026. The track has held the number-one spot on weekly domestic charts for four consecutive weeks, while the other double title, \"BLACKHOLE,\" has received strong critical and fan response. Those successes suggest the tour will feature a diverse set list built around the new album.
IVE will resume SHOW WHAT I AM on April 4 in Kuala Lumpur as they continue their global activities.
