On December 12 KST, YG Entertainment's rising female K-Pop group BABYMONSTER announced their highly-anticipated U.S. debut tour, set for early next year. Produced by Live Nation, the limited run of BABYMONSTER 1st World Tour shows include headline performances at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ on Friday, February 28, and the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, CA on Sunday, March 2.

The tour supports BABYMONSTER’s first full-length album, 'DRIP,' released on November 1, 2024. The album features nine dynamic tracks, including one of the title tracks “DRIP” which was composed by legendary rapper and singer-songwriter G-Dragon, a remix of their record-breaking pre-debut single "BATTER UP," and their fan-favorite single "FOREVER."

'DRIP' follows the success of BABYMONSTER’s record-breaking mini-album 'BABYMONS7ER,' released in April, which sold over 400,000 copies upon launch. The album includes hits like "BATTER UP," "SHEESH," and "LIKE THAT," written for the group by global superstar Charlie Puth. 

The U.S. announcement comes after BABYMONSTER recently revealed their Seoul tour dates, scheduled for Saturday, January 25 and Sunday, January 26 at KSPO DOME, which will kick off their upcoming global tour.
