XLOV’s 2026 Europe tour just levelled up again. What began as a small trio of dates – Sofia, Bucharest, and London – has evolved into a full-scale, cross-continent run that now stretches from Helsinki to Madrid and Reykjavik. The newly announced cities confirm that this is no short promo trip but a full tour – one that cements the group’s fast-growing presence across Europe less than a year after their debut.

The final routing now includes stops in Helsinki, Madrid, Warsaw, Renens, Milan, Sofia, Bucharest, London, Athens, Wolverhampton, Manchester, Paris, Copenhagen, Reykjavik, Amsterdam, and Mainz. Ticket sales open Wednesday, 29 October via envolprod.com.

In London, the group’s debut show has been upgraded twice – now locking in at Troxy as the confirmed final venue. That single date has tripled in capacity since it was first announced, reflecting the wave of demand that’s followed each phase of their rollout. For a rookie act still within their debut year, the scale of response is striking.

Perhaps even more notable is how far this run stretches geographically. From southern capitals like Madrid and Athens to northern corners like Helsinki and Reykjavik, XLOV are pushing into territories few K-pop acts have reached before. If confirmed, their stop in Iceland would reportedly make them the first K-pop group ever to perform in the Nordic nation – another unexpected milestone for a band who have made a habit of breaking patterns.

UK fans were quick to react to the surprise inclusion of Manchester and Wolverhampton, which mark rare stops for any K-pop tour which typically avoid markets outside of London. The move gives XLOV the rare distinction of being the first K-pop group to visit Wolverhampton, adding another first to an already unusual tour map.

XLOV’s rise has been quick, but it doesn’t feel rushed. The group came together under 257 Entertainment at the end of 2024, officially making their debut a month later. From the start, Wumuti, Rui, Hyun, and Haru set themselves apart with a concept that pushed beyond the usual gender lines seen in K-pop. Everything about them – the way they dress, move, and perform – feeds into that sense of fluidity, stripping away the usual labels attached to boy groups and girl groups alike.

Their sound moves in a similar space. It’s polished pop with sharp dance edges and flashes of R&B warmth, tied together by a sense of purpose that’s easy to feel but hard to pin down; the mix of intensity and restraint has become their signature.

Their expanding tour follows a strong year defined by creative evolution and risk-taking. The group are currently preparing to release their first mini album, [UXLXVE], on 5 November. Built around darker visuals and thorn-like motifs, the record appears to explore the line between love and rejection – a theme underscored by its graffiti-marked title “UNLOVE”, where the letters N and O are blacked out. The concept deepens their existing universe rather than reinventing it, pushing their sound and identity into sharper focus ahead of their live return.

The pace of their growth – from small-venue openers to a sixteen-city European headline tour – is almost unheard of for a group less than a year into their career. It speaks not just to strategic timing, but to a fanbase that’s spreading faster than expected. In an era where most newcomers build online before touring, XLOV are doing both at once – growing through physical presence as much as digital noise.

With every new announcement, the group’s story keeps widening. A debut year that started with one single and a few club shows has now become a multi-country campaign spanning northern and southern Europe, backed by an audience that seems to grow by the week.

Dates, cities, and tickets are now confirmed – and this time, no one’s calling it a test run.
