KATSEYE Is Coming to Australia

KATSEYE’s wild week adds another chapter with the announcement of a visit next month to Australia.

To celebrate what will be the international girl group’s first trip to these parts, fans will have the chance to attend an exclusive fan Q&A experience in Sydney on May 6.

Fan can enter here for the chance at a golden ticket, and by pre-ordering their forthcoming EP WILD. Universal Music Australia is behind the contest, the winner of which will receive flights, accommodation and a double pass to the Q&A in Sydney. Also, 29 runners-up will receive a double pass for the session.

KATSEYE is on the express elevator, going up. After releasing new single “Pinky Up” and delivering an eye-catching performance for the first weekend of Coachella, the pop singers announced WILD would arrive on Aug. 14 via HYBE x Geffen Records.

According to a statement, WILD “leans into something more euphoric and untamed. Rooted in self-discovery and self-determination,” and the group “embraces every version of themselves, resulting in a project that feels open, boundless, and entirely their own.”

Members Daniela, Lara, Megan, Sophia and Yoonchae celebrated the new-music announcement by sharing a cute video on Instagram of themselves backstage at Coachella.

The new collection will mark KATSEYE’s first EP since last year’s Beautiful Chaos, which reached No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and features Billboard Hot 100 hits “Gnarly” and “Gabriela.” In Australia, “Gabriela,” “Touch” and “Gnarly” are all certified platinum, while “Debut” and “Gameboy” are certified gold.

It’ll also be the group’s first multitrack project since HYBE announced that bandmate Manon would be taking a hiatus to “focus on her health and well-being.” When the “Pinky Up” music video dropped on April 9, Manon was absent from the visual, and she didn’t perform at Coachella (though she was spotted at the festival).

KATSEYE will return to the California desert for weekend two of Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, on April 17. Fresh off their main stage spot, KATSEYE dropped a hoodie collection including six styles designed by each member of the group, through an ongoing partnership with Gap.
