i-dle Japan Tour 2025 – Details & Tickets

Overview

i-dle (formerly known as (G)I-DLE), the South Korean girl group formed by Cube Entertainment, brings their i-dle First Japan Tour 2025 to Japan, performing at Saitama Super Arena on October 4–5, 2025 and GLION Arena Kobe on October 18–19, 2025. The quintet—Soyeon, Miyeon, Minnie, Yuqi, and Shuhua—has redefined K-pop with their self-produced, feminist-driven music since their 2018 debut with LATATA.

This tour follows their electrifying SUMMER SONIC 2025 performance and Japanese EP i-dle release (October 3, 2025), promising high-energy choreography, bold visuals, and fan engagement, as seen in past shows like Queendom and their 2022 world tour.
