Highlight, the beloved boy band, is set to embark on an Asian tour this summer, marking an impressive 15-year journey since their debut. The news, announced by Around Us Entertainment on Wednesday, has sparked excitement among fans across the continent. The tour, aptly named “Lights Go On, Again,” promises to be a grand celebration of the group's enduring legacy in the K-pop industry.
This significant milestone will kick off with three concerts at the KSPO Dome in Seoul this May, setting the stage for what promises to be an unforgettable series of performances. Following the Seoul concerts, Highlight will take their show on the road, with scheduled stops in Hong Kong and Bangkok in June, and Kaohsiung and Tokyo in July. While specific venues and times are yet to be announced, fans are eagerly awaiting updates through the local organizers’ social media pages.
This tour marks Highlight's return to the stage for the first time in two years, following their last solo concert, “Highlight Live 2022 ‘Intro’”, in Seoul in 2022. Fans can anticipate a setlist that includes tracks from their latest and fifth EP, “Switch On,” featuring the lead track “Body.” Additionally, the band plans to perform beloved hits released under their former name, Beast, a testament to their rich musical history and recent negotiations over trademark rights with former agency, Cube Entertainment.
Highlight's journey began in 2009 as Beast, under Cube Entertainment. The current lineup, consisting of Yoon Doojoon, Yang Yoseob, Lee Kikwang, and Son Dongwoon, emerged in December 2016 after leaving Cube to form Highlight. This transition followed the departure of Yong Junhyung in 2019. In a significant move last April, the band reclaimed its right to the name Beast following an agreement with Cube Entertainment, marking a new chapter in their storied career.
As Highlight prepares to light up stages across Asia, fans old and new are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be a series of memorable performances. Celebrating 15 years of music, the band's enduring popularity and impact on the K-pop scene are a testament to their talent, resilience, and the deep connection they share with their fans. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting tour and join Highlight as they continue to make music history.
