PLAVE is taking its virtual stage worldwide for the first time. On June 4, 2026, the group's agency VLAST confirmed the routing for the "2026 PLAVE World Tour [KEEP IT MANIC]" — and this is only the opening wave.
What Is PLAVE's KEEP IT MANIC World Tour?
KEEP IT MANIC is PLAVE's first-ever world tour, announced on June 4, 2026 by VLAST through a HYBE JAPAN press release and PLAVE's official channels . The first confirmed wave covers nine shows across seven cities, running from September 12 through October 31, 2026 — and the agency has stated that additional countries and regions will be revealed in stages .
The tour marks a clear step up in scope. HYBE JAPAN frames KEEP IT MANIC as PLAVE's long-awaited world tour following the 2025 PLAVE Asia Tour [DASH: Quantum Leap] , the first time the five-member group's touring is positioned as a multi-market global campaign rather than a regional one. PLAVE debuted on March 12, 2023, so an inaugural world tour just over three years in is a notable milestone for the virtual idol format .
The timing follows real commercial momentum. KEEP IT MANIC arrives on the back of PLAVE's fourth mini album Caligo Pt.2, released April 13, 2026, which logged 1,255,801 copies in first-week sales on Hanteo Chart — a new career high for the group — and debuted at No. 145 on the Billboard 200 and No. 75 on the Artist 100, marking PLAVE's first-ever Billboard 200 entry . Those milestones underscore the commercial backdrop for the group's step up to a first-ever world tour.
For now, VLAST has released the tour title, teaser poster, and city routing, while detailed schedules and ticketing information are set to follow through PLAVE's official Weverse and social channels .
Full Schedule: Every Confirmed City and Date
The first confirmed wave of [KEEP IT MANIC] spans seven cities and nine dated performances, opening in Incheon, South Korea on September 12–13, 2026 . The Incheon stop is a two-night run and the tour opener — the only multi-night opener in the current slate. Roughly two weeks later, the Japan leg lands at Kanagawa on September 26–27, 2026, also across two nights .
From there, October settles into a weekly Saturday cadence across East and Southeast Asia: Kaohsiung on October 3, Bangkok on October 10, Singapore on October 17, Taipei on October 24, and Macao on October 31 . Each of those five is a single show, giving the back half of the run a clean, predictable weekend rhythm that visiting fans can plan around.
One detail stands out in the routing: Taiwan appears twice. Both Kaohsiung in the south and Taipei in the north are on the itinerary, making Taiwan the only market with two stops in the confirmed slate . The Singapore date (October 17) is confirmed in the official routing .
Counting performances, that is two shows in Incheon, two in Kanagawa, and one each in Kaohsiung, Bangkok, Singapore, Taipei, and Macao — nine dated shows in all . Note that Macao is romanized as both "Macao" and "Macau" across coverage; it refers to the same stop. The full first-wave schedule is below.
| # | City | Country / Region | Confirmed Date(s) | Shows |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Incheon | South Korea | September 12–13, 2026 | 2 (opener) |
| 2 | Kanagawa | Japan | September 26–27, 2026 | 2 |
| 3 | Kaohsiung | Taiwan | October 3, 2026 | 1 |
| 4 | Bangkok | Thailand | October 10, 2026 | 1 |
| 5 | Singapore | Singapore | October 17, 2026 | 1 |
| 6 | Taipei | Taiwan | October 24, 2026 | 1 |
| 7 | Macao | China | October 31, 2026 | 1 |
For fans planning inbound trips, the September 12–13 Incheon dates are the anchor for anyone routing a visit through Seoul and Incheon at the start of the run .
Tickets and Venues: What's Confirmed and What Isn't
As of the June 4 announcement, no venue, ticket price, on-sale date, or show time has been confirmed for any of the seven cities . PLAVE's agency VLAST disclosed the routing and dates first; the operational layer — where each show happens and how to buy in — is being held back for a later announcement. So while the calendar is firm, the logistics fans need to actually attend are still pending.
PLAVE's Japan official notice is explicit on this point, deferring venue names, ticketing, pricing, seat maps, show times, and sales windows to a future update . That deferral applies across the run, not just the Japanese leg. VLAST stated that all details — including for the September 12–13 Incheon opener — will be released through PLAVE's official Weverse and SNS channels rather than through scattered third-party listings .
Practically, that means the safest sources to watch are the first-party ones. For on-sale dates and any membership presale windows, fans should follow:
- PLAVE's official Weverse notice page, where the tour details were first posted.
- The confirmed routing for cross-checking dates as new stops are added.
- PLAVE's official SNS channels, which VLAST named as the primary outlet for ticketing release .
Until those surfaces post venues and sale times, treat any pricing or vendor claim circulating elsewhere as unverified.
More Cities Still to Come — The Western Leg Is an Open Question
The seven confirmed cities are the first disclosed wave, not the finished route. VLAST's June 4, 2026 announcement explicitly stated that additional countries and regions are planned beyond the current slate, and that further stops would be revealed in stages . Treat the routing as expandable: nine dated shows across Incheon, Kanagawa, Kaohsiung, Bangkok, Singapore, Taipei, and Macao are confirmed, but the tour has not been characterized as complete by any official source .
The framing itself is a signal. KEEP IT MANIC is labeled PLAVE's first world tour, deliberately distinct from the 2025 PLAVE Asia Tour [DASH: Quantum Leap] that preceded it . That wording points to an intent to reach markets outside Asia. As of now, North American and European dates have neither been confirmed nor ruled out — the seven-city wave covers only East and Southeast Asia, leaving room for Western legs to be added in a later announcement .
For fans outside Asia, the practical takeaway is to watch PLAVE's official channels for the next routing drop rather than acting on unverified rumors. New cities are expected to surface in stages, and the same surfaces that carried the first announcement — PLAVE's official Weverse notice and SNS — will be where any Western dates appear first . Until then, the route stands at seven cities and counting.
