With COVID restrictions lessening up a bit, K-Pop acts are returning to the U.S. to play in a city near you! But let’s be real, we’ve been dying to see some girl groups — thankfully, there are six groups that are heading on tour this summer and early fall. Are any of these girl groups on your must-see for K-Pop concerts in 2022? We certainly hope so! 

aespa Showcase SYNK in LA

MYs, are you ready to see aespa in Los Angeles? Starting the multitude of tour stops by girl groups, SM Entertainment’s quartet is performing at the YouTube Theater in Inglewood, California on Sunday, June 26, 2022. As of June 13, it was announced that there will be an additional concert date to aespa's showcase on June 27 due to the first night selling out! Unfortunately, this concert is exclusive to Los Angeles only, so hopefully we’ll see the girls return to the U.S. with more dates!

Dreamcatcher [Apocalypse: Save us] World Tour

Marking their first solo concert dates in the U.S., as well as the second world tour of their career, dystopian queens Dreamcatcher are touring from June 28 to July 17, 2022! It was just recently announced that Dreamcatcher has added a second date for Los Angeles, and they will also be making their final stop in Mexico on July 20! 

(G)I-DLE World Tour Just Me ()I-DLE 

NEVERLANDs, you’re definitely in for a treat with so many stops on the tour. Starting off their tour with their first stop in Seoul, South Korea, (G)I-DLE is coming to the U.S. from July 22 to August 7, 2022. Aside from North America, the quintet will also be touring in countries like Chile, Mexico, Indonesia, Philippines, Japan, and Singapore! 

Brave Girls 1st World Tour 

After completing their time on the Mnet competition series Queendom 2, Brave Girls are coming to the U.S for the first time! After overcoming a lot in the past year, like beating disbandment and regaining popularity, it’s going to be amazing to see international FEARLESS in person! 

LOONA 1st World Tour [LOONATHEWORLD] 

Also coming from Queendom 2, BlockBerry Creative’s LOONA will be marking their first world tour in North America! I’m certain plenty of ORBITs are ready to enjoy a night with the 12-member ensemble. It looks like due to high popularity and demand, LOONA will be performing for two nights in Los Angeles, California. 

ITZY The 1st World Tour Checkmate 

On June 1, 2022, ITZY dropped a special surprise on their social media accounts announcing their upcoming album release and their first official world tour in the U.S. They’ll be beginning their tour in Seoul with a two-day concert on August 6 and 7, 2022. Soon after starting on October 26 through November 13, 2022, they will touchdown on select states and cities to meet MIDZY! 

I hope everyone gets the chance to see their favorite K-Pop groups this year!
