CORTIS Announces First Global Tour “PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN” With Stops in North America and Japan

Rising K-pop boy group CORTIS is preparing to take a major step in its career with the announcement of its first global tour since debut.

On June 2, the group revealed plans for the 2026 CORTIS TOUR "PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN" through Weverse. The tour will span 13 performances across nine cities and regions, giving fans in South Korea, North America, and Japan an opportunity to see the group live.

The tour will begin with two concerts at Incheon Inspire Arena on July 18 and 19. From there, CORTIS will head overseas for a North American run that kicks off in Toronto on August 4. The group is also scheduled to visit major cities including New York, Atlanta, and Los Angeles as part of its first large-scale international tour.

Adding to the excitement, CORTIS will celebrate the first anniversary of its debut with a special two-day event titled "BIRTHDAY PARTY" on August 22 and 23 at Hwajeong Gymnasium in Seoul. The tour will then continue in Japan with performances at Kanagawa's Pia Arena MM from September 4 through September 6.

According to the group, the tour's title, "PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN," reflects a desire to create a shared experience between artists and fans by encouraging audiences to be fully present in the moment. The concept emphasizes enjoying live music together without distractions and highlights the group's commitment to delivering immersive and energetic performances.

Known for their strong stage presence and audience interaction, CORTIS is expected to showcase a setlist featuring fan favorites as well as performances that highlight the group's growth since debut.

Before officially launching the North American leg of the tour, CORTIS will also make a significant festival appearance at Lollapalooza Chicago. The group is set to perform a 50-minute set on the festival's T-Mobile Stage on August 1, becoming the only K-pop boy group on this year's lineup. Their scheduled aftershow event sold out quickly, further demonstrating the growing international demand for the group.

With a world tour, anniversary celebrations, and a major festival appearance all on the calendar, 2026 is shaping up to be a milestone year for CORTIS as they continue expanding their global reach and connecting with fans around the world.
