Since their debut in 2009 as BEAST, HIGHLIGHT has carved a unique path in the K-pop industry, known for their strong vocals, captivating performances, and genuine connection with their fans. Despite facing changes and challenges over the years, including establishing their own agency, Around Us Entertainment, and rebranding as HIGHLIGHT in 2017 (later reclaiming the name BEAST in 2024), their bond with LIGHTs has remained unwavering.
This tour marks a significant moment for both HIGHLIGHT and their fans. It follows their recent comeback in April 2025 with their sixth EP, From Real to Surreal, which has been well-received by critics and fans alike. The tour provides an opportunity for the group to showcase their new music alongside their numerous hit tracks from their impressive 15-year career.
The Ride or Die tour is scheduled to kick off in July 2025, with the first stop being Seoul for a three-day concert. Following their performances in their home country, HIGHLIGHT will embark on a journey to connect with their international LIGHTs in various major cities across Asia, including Taipei, Macau, Manila, Tokyo, Bangkok, and Kuala Lumpur.
This Asia tour is not just a series of concerts; it’s a celebration of HIGHLIGHT’s enduring journey and the strong connection they share with their fans. The Ride or Die title seemingly reflects this unbreakable bond, promising a tour where both the group and their fans will create lasting memories together.
