TWS has a double whammy this fall... From a major festival to an October comeback [ATA Friends]

The group TWS (Tours) is on a roll this year. They announced a comeback in October, and have also announced plans to perform at Korea's largest K-pop festival, "ATA Festival 2025," and Japan's "ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL 2025" next month. Their active participation in large-scale festivals both domestically and internationally suggests they're expanding their fan base.

The tour concluded their "2025 TWS TOUR '24/7:WITH:US' IN JAPAN" tour at K-Arena Yokohama in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, on the 9th and 10th. During their Japanese tour last month, they performed a total of 13 times in six cities. Approximately 50,000 people flocked to these shows, selling out all tickets.

At the concert on the 10th, Tours said, "We're so happy to be able to hold a solo concert in such a big venue," and "Because we have 42 (official fandom name) who love us for who we are, things that we thought were impossible have become possible." He continued, "I hope that we can treasure this time we spent together in our hearts and that whenever we're having a hard time or feeling tired, we can think of it and find strength in it. I hope that this moment right now will remain as a dazzling and brilliant youth."

On this day, leader Shin Yu made a surprise announcement that "Tours will make a comeback in October," exciting fans.

Tours, released on January 22nd of last year, received immense love from both domestic and international audiences with their domestic debut song, "First Encounter Doesn't Go as Planned." The song topped the "2024 Melon Chart," which aggregates domestic and international music charts. This marks the first time in 14 years that a debut song has topped the Melon chart. Notably, this marks the first time in six years since iKON's "Love Scenario" in 2018 that a male idol group has topped the chart.

Tours will be performing at the global music festival 'ATA Festival 2025' held at Nanji Hangang Park from the 27th to the 28th of next month. Tours will perform on the second day of the event (September 28th). Performers that day include Kim Jaejoong, The Boyz, Tours, Cravity, QWER, Fifty Fifty, 82 Major, Eunice, Bad Villain, and New Beat. On the first day of the event (September 27th), Kim Junsu, Jannabi, Peppertones, Lee Mujin, 10cm, Park Hyewon, Gyeongseo, Hickey, Say My Name, and Hwang Ga Ram will decorate the Han Riverside.
