CORTIS Kicks Off North America Tour After Lollapalooza Set
K-pop group CORTIS is taking its first tour to North America, arriving on the heels of a major U.S. festival set and a steady run on the Billboard charts. The five-member group opens the trek on August 4 in Toronto and will run through six cities across two weeks.
CORTIS, made up of Martin, James, Juhoon, Seonghyun and Keonho, kicks off "2026 CORTIS TOUR <PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN> IN NORTH AMERICA" on Tuesday in Toronto. From there, the group heads to New York, Atlanta, Irving, Los Angeles and San Francisco, wrapping the North American leg on Aug. 16.
The group had already tested the waters with U.S. audiences days earlier. On August 1, CORTIS took the stage at Lollapalooza Chicago, drawing a crowd of 50,000 who sang along through the set. The festival appearance served as a warm-up for the tour ahead.
The timing lines up with continued momentum on the Billboard charts. According to the latest tally dated Aug. 8 and published on Aug. 4, the group's second mini album "GREENGREEN" sits at No. 114 on the Billboard 200. The record first entered the chart at No. 3 on the May 23 issue and has now logged 12 straight weeks on the ranking. It also placed at No. 2 on World Albums and No. 8 on Top Album Sales this week. The title track "REDRED" holds at No. 109 on the Global 200 and No. 63 on the Global Excl. U.S. chart, marking 14 consecutive weeks in the rankings.
The full tour covers nine cities across Korea, Japan and North America, with 14 shows in total. Every date sold out, according to the group's agency.
CORTIS is not stopping there. The group is booked for ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL 2026 on Sept. 20 and the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix on Oct. 9, extending its run of global stages into the fall.
