PLAVE, the virtual boy group under Korea's VLAST, is heading out on the road for the first time — and the routing already has fans talking, because one market gets two shows while everyone else gets one.
What Is the KEEP IT MANIC Tour?
The 2026 PLAVE World Tour [KEEP IT MANIC] is PLAVE's first-ever world tour: 9 shows across 7 cities running from September 12 to October 31, 2026 . VLAST announced the run on June 4, 2026 through a HYBE Japan press release and official channels, confirming an initial seven cities alongside an explicit "and more..." note . The label says additional countries and dates will be added in phases, so the current lineup is a starting point rather than the final map.source
The tour lands during a career-high stretch for the group. It follows PLAVE's fourth mini-album Caligo Pt.2, released April 13, 2026, which moved 1.25 million copies in its first week and charted on both the Billboard 200 and the Billboard Artist 100 . For a virtual act, taking that momentum into physical arenas across Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore and Macao marks a notable step — and sets up the scheduling quirk we break down next.source
Full KEEP IT MANIC Schedule: All 9 Dates at a Glance
The KEEP IT MANIC tour runs 9 shows across 7 cities from September 12 to October 31, 2026, moving from Korea and Japan through Southeast Asia before closing in Macao . The run opens with a two-night stand in Incheon on September 12–13, followed two weeks later by Kanagawa, Japan on September 26–27 . From there the tour shifts to single-night stops: Kaohsiung on October 3, Bangkok on October 10, Singapore on October 17, Taipei on October 24, and Macao on October 31 .source
Quick Answer: PLAVE's KEEP IT MANIC tour plays 9 shows in 7 cities between September 12 and October 31, 2026. Incheon and Kanagawa each get two nights; the rest are single dates. Taiwan is the only market with two separate city stops — Kaohsiung on October 3 and Taipei on October 24.
A key detail: two-night runs and two-city runs are not the same thing here. Incheon and Kanagawa each host two show dates, but both are single cities. Taiwan is the only market receiving two distinct city stops — Kaohsiung early in October and Taipei three weeks later. As of the June 4, 2026 first announcement, only two venues were confirmed: Incheon Munhak Main Stadium and Bangkok's Impact Arena; every other city remained TBA, and the announcement carried an "and more..." note signaling additional dates to come .
| City | Date(s) | Venue | Shows | Ticket Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Incheon, KR | Sept 12–13 | Munhak Main Stadium | 2 | On sale (NOL World) |
| Kanagawa, JP | Sept 26–27 | TBA | 2 | Pending |
| Kaohsiung, TW | Oct 3 | TBA | 1 | Pending |
| Bangkok, TH | Oct 10 | Impact Arena | 1 | On sale (Thai Ticket Major) |
| Singapore, SG | Oct 17 | TBA | 1 | Pending |
| Taipei, TW | Oct 24 | TBA | 1 | Pending |
| Macao, CN | Oct 31 | TBA | 1 | Pending |
That layout leaves Taiwan as the schedule's outlier — and the reason it earns two stops is worth its own look.
Why Taiwan Alone Gets Two Stops: Kaohsiung Then Taipei
Taiwan is the only market on the KEEP IT MANIC routing to receive two separate city stops: Kaohsiung on October 3, 2026 and Taipei on October 24, 2026. Each is a standalone single-show date in a different city, three weeks apart — not a two-night residency in one venue. According to Sounova, this makes Taiwan the tour's only split-city market.
That distinction matters because two shows do not automatically mean two cities. Korea's Incheon leg and Japan's Kanagawa leg each carry two dates, but both pairs sit inside a single venue on consecutive nights. Incheon runs September 12–13 at Munhak Main Stadium, and Kanagawa runs September 26–27 at one venue across both nights. Taiwan instead spreads its two shows across the south (Kaohsiung) and the north (Taipei), separated by roughly three weeks and by the length of the island.
The routing choice reads as a demand signal. Placing standalone dates in both southern and northern Taiwan implies a fanbase deep enough to fill separate rooms in each region rather than pooling everyone into one metropolitan run. It arrives on the back of PLAVE's commercial milestone: fourth mini-album Caligo Pt.2 moved 1.25 million copies in its first week and charted on the Billboard 200 and Billboard Artist 100, the kind of scale that supports two Taiwan sell-outs.
Details, however, remain thin. As of the June 4 first-wave announcement, neither Taiwan venue nor any ticketing information — promoter, on-sale timeline, or pricing — was disclosed for Kaohsiung or Taipei, both still marked pending while local promoter confirmations are awaited . VLAST has said all ticketing specifics will surface through PLAVE's official Weverse and regional promoter channels rather than third-party resellers. "All ticket details will be released through PLAVE's official Weverse announcement page and official channels, not third-party resellers," per HYBE JAPAN's tour statement. For now, treat the two Taiwan dates as locked and the logistics as forthcoming.
Incheon Opening Night: Venue, Tickets & Sale Timeline
PLAVE opens KEEP IT MANIC at Incheon Munhak Main Stadium with two shows: Saturday, September 12 and Sunday, September 13, 2026, both starting at 19:00 KST . The Incheon leg is the most fully detailed stop on the tour so far, with a confirmed venue and a published sale timeline, while most later cities still list logistics as pending.
Access runs in three phases keyed to PLAVE membership. Membership verification opens June 10 at 14:00 KST and closes June 17 at 23:59 KST — completing it is what makes a fan eligible for the pre-sale ballot . The membership pre-sale then runs June 17 (Wed) from 20:00 to 23:59 KST, followed by the general public sale on June 19 (Fri) at 19:00 KST . Fans without verified membership can still buy in the general round, but only after the pre-sale allocation clears.
| Phase | Date (2026) | Time (KST) | Access requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Membership verification | June 10–17 | June 10 14:00 – June 17 23:59 | Active PLAVE / PLLI membership |
| Membership pre-sale | June 17 (Wed) | 20:00–23:59 | Verified membership |
| General sale | June 19 (Fri) | 19:00 | Open to all |
The official ticketing platform for Incheon is NOL World (Interpark), where the seat map and pricing tiers go live for buyers to review before checkout . One caveat worth flagging: the June 4 announcement did not print exact face values for the Incheon shows, so the definitive prices and seating zones are whatever NOL World / Interpark lists on its sale page rather than anything fixed in the press release . Fans planning to attend the opener should verify membership before the June 17 deadline, keep the NOL World seat map open ahead of the June 19 general sale, and confirm final tier pricing directly on the platform.
Bangkok Is the Only Stop With Published Prices
Bangkok is the single non-Korea stop that arrived with a full price sheet at the tour's launch. PLAVE play Impact Arena in Bangkok on October 10, 2026, with Thai Ticket Major listed as the official seller. Six confirmed tiers were disclosed at announcement, unlike every other overseas city on the run.
According to the Thai Ticket Major event page, the tiers are VIP at 6,800 and 5,500 THB, and standard seats at 3,800, 3,500, 2,800 and 2,500 THB. That six-band structure gives Bangkok fans a concrete budgeting reference the Kaohsiung, Singapore, Taipei and Macao dates still lack.
On timing, the reported schedule puts the Weverse member pre-sale at roughly August 1 at 11:00 local time, with general sale around August 2 at 11:00. Treat those windows as provisional and confirm the exact on-sale times on Thai Ticket Major's official event page before the date, since VLAST routes final ticketing details through PLAVE's official channels rather than resellers.
Kanagawa, Singapore, Taiwan & Macao: What's Still Pending
Four of the seven cities on the KEEP IT MANIC route have locked dates but almost no ticketing logistics yet. Kanagawa, Singapore, Taiwan (Kaohsiung and Taipei) and Macao are all confirmed on the calendar, yet their venues, promoters, price tiers and on-sale windows remain unannounced as of the June 4 launch reveal . If you are planning around any of these stops, the date is the only fixed variable right now.
Kanagawa is the most developed of the pending markets: HYBE Japan has confirmed two nights, Saturday September 26 and Sunday September 27, 2026 . Even so, the exact venue, the ticketing platform and the sale date have not been published. Singapore (October 17) and Macao (October 31) sit a step behind — city and date only, with promoter and ticket timeline entirely to be announced .
Taiwan's two shows carry the same status. Kaohsiung on October 3 and Taipei on October 24 have dates locked, but every other detail waits on a local promoter announcement . VLAST has been explicit about where updates will surface: PLAVE's official Weverse announcement page and the group's official social channels are the first point of release for each city, not third-party resellers . Watch those channels for the venue and on-sale drop.
How to Buy PLAVE Tickets: Membership Pre-Sale vs. General Sale
Buying a KEEP IT MANIC ticket comes down to two access tiers at almost every stop: a membership pre-sale that opens first with the larger seat pool, and a general sale that follows with whatever remains. PLLI Membership — PLAVE's official fan club, run through Weverse — is the gate to the pre-sale. VLAST has confirmed that ticketing details for every city release through PLAVE's official Weverse announcement page and social channels, not third-party resellers .
The pre-sale is not automatic. Incheon's flow shows the pattern: membership verification ran from June 10 at 14:00 KST through June 17 at 23:59, and only verified members could enter the pre-sale draw on June 17 . Complete any eligibility check before your city's window opens — leaving it to the day of the draw is the most common way fans lock themselves out.
Each city uses its own official platform. Confirmed so far:
- Incheon — NOL World (Interpark)
- Bangkok — Thai Ticket Major, with member pre-sale from around August 1 at 11:00 and general sale from August 2 at 11:00
- Kaohsiung, Taipei, Kanagawa, Singapore, Macao — to be confirmed by local promoters via Weverse
The general sale needs no membership, but it opens after the pre-sale and draws from a smaller remaining pool. Save your payment method and log in before the on-sale minute rather than during it. VLAST has explicitly warned against third-party resale — a debut world tour carries no secondary-market pricing precedent, so unofficial channels combine inflated cost with high fraud risk. "All ticketing information is released only through PLAVE's official Weverse and social channels," VLAST stated in its tour announcement (source: HYBE JAPAN).
The concrete takeaway: verify your PLLI Membership now, bookmark the correct platform for your city, and treat Weverse as the single source of truth for on-sale times. Incheon and Bangkok are set; the rest of Asia's dates are locked and only the ticketing pages remain.
Frequently asked questions
Will PLAVE add North America or Europe dates to the KEEP IT MANIC tour?
Not confirmed as of publication. VLAST attached an "and more..." note to the June 4 announcement , stating that additional countries and shows would follow in phases beyond the initial seven cities. No North American or European dates have been announced. If a Western leg is added, it will appear the same way every other stop has — through PLAVE's official Weverse — so watch that channel for each new city drop rather than third-party listings.
Why does Taiwan get two PLAVE stops when every other country gets one?
Taiwan is routed through two separate cities — Kaohsiung on October 3 and Taipei on October 24, three weeks apart . That is different from Korea and Japan, which each get two nights but stay in a single venue (Incheon and Kanagawa). The south-then-north split makes Taiwan the only market on the tour with two distinct city stops, reflecting fan demand large enough to fill shows in both regions.
How do I buy tickets for the Incheon PLAVE concert?
Incheon tickets are sold through NOL World (Interpark) . PLLI Membership verification ran through June 17, 2026 for pre-sale access, and general sale opened June 19 at 19:00 KST . Check the NOL World event page for the seat map and any remaining inventory, since the opening-night shows at Incheon Munhak Main Stadium were the first to go on sale.
What is the PLLI Membership and is it required to buy PLAVE tickets?
PLLI is PLAVE's official fan club, operated through Weverse. It is required to enter the membership pre-sale window at most tour stops, which typically opens before general sale and draws from a larger seat pool . Membership is not mandatory for general sale — that round is open to all buyers — but the remaining inventory is smaller. Fans who want the best shot at popular dates should complete PLLI verification before each city's pre-sale opens.
How much are PLAVE Bangkok concert tickets?
Thai Ticket Major lists six tiers for the Bangkok show at Impact Arena: 6,800 / 5,500 / 3,800 / 3,500 / 2,800 / 2,500 THB . The Weverse member pre-sale ran approximately August 1 and general sale approximately August 2 . Confirm the exact tier names, seat maps, and final on-sale times on the Thai Ticket Major event page before purchasing.
