Iconic artist group XG (Xtraordinary Genes) make their highly anticipated return to Melbourne this October for the XG WORLD TOUR: THE CORE.
Last in Australia in 2024, the group returns this year with their biggest shows in the market to date. This marks XG’s second world tour, promoting their first full album THE CORE – 核, with performances showcasing their signature style – high-energy stages, powerful vocals, sleek choreography, and their continued growth as a global act.
XG WORLD TOUR: THE CORE celebrates the group’s first full-length album THE CORE – 核, released in January to widespread praise from fans and critics alike. The tour kicked off in February to massive demand, with multiple sold-out shows across Japan, including Yokohama, Osaka, and Nagoya.
Australian Alphaz can expect to hear the group’s biggest hits and latest tracks live this October, including “LEFT RIGHT,” “WOKE UP,” and new songs “HYPNOTIZE” and “ROCK THE BOAT,” plus many more.
