The world tour “2026 MONSTA X WORLD TOUR [THE X : NEXUS],” which started in January 2026 from KSPO DOME in Seoul, South Korea, is touring Asia and Latin America and will continue on to North America in the future. As a Japan encore performance that connects that excitement, MONSTA X will stand on the stage of Pia Arena MM for two days, December 8 and 9. In Japan, “2026 MONSTA X WORLD TOUR [THE X : NEXUS] IN JAPAN” was held this April and May, with a total of four performances at LaLa Arena TOKYO-BAY and Ookini Arena Maishima. The newly announced “ENCORE IN JAPAN” is the final solo performance in Japan for 2026, following those Japan performances, and is an encore performance delivered not merely as a reproduction of the Japan performances held in spring, but as the culmination of the world tour. Expectations are rising for what kind of new stage MONSTA X, after going through the tour so far, will show.
