K-pop star G-Dragon has added dates to his highly anticipated world tour on Monday. The 36-year-old, a member of iconic boy group BigBang, has added a North American and European leg to his Übermensch world tour.
The tour, which kicked off in Seoul in March, will travel to Australia, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Hong Kong before the first U.S. show in Newark. G-Dragon is slated to perform at Newark’s
Prudential Center on Aug. 22, T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Aug. 31 and L.A.’s Crypto.com Arena on Sept. 5. The performer will then head to Paris for a show at the La Défense Arena on Sept. 20.

Fans of the “King of K-pop” — as he’s oftentimes referred to — can expect a “multi-sensory performance that redefines the limits of live artistry, blending music, fashion, digital innovation, and storytelling in a way only he can deliver,” according to a release.
The South Korean leg of the tour, which is named after G-Dragon’s latest studio album ÜBERMENSCH, sold out immediately. The theme is “personal self-discovery and self-overcoming,” according to a release. The performer recently performed at the L.A. music festival, Head in the Clouds.
G-Dragon, whose real name is Kwon Ji-Yong, has been one of Korea’s biggest stars for nearly two decades. In 2006, he debuted in BigBang, which found immense domestic and international success; many younger K-pop groups credit the group and G-Dragon as an inspiration.
There will be a pre-sale for those in G-Dragon’s official fan club on Wednesday, June 25, at 10 a.m. local time; it will run through Thursday, June 26, at 9:59 a.m. local time. General ticketing begins on Friday, June 27, at 10 a.m. local time. Full details can be found on G-Dragon’s website.
