MONSTA X kicked off the North American leg of their 2026 world tour ‘THE X : NEXUS’ at EagleBank Arena in Fairfax, Virginia, Starship Entertainment said on Oct. 6. The show took place on the same stage the group played on its ‘No Limit’ tour about four years ago. MONSTA X performed signature songs including ‘DRAMARAMA,’ ‘Love Killa,’ ‘Rush Hour,’ ‘Lone Ranger’ and ‘Catch Me Now.’ SHOWNU, who could not join that previous tour due to military service, said, “This time I’ve come to meet you in a different way. We prepared many new stages and stages to enjoy together for this North American tour.” The group then performed ‘Middle of the Night’ and ‘Baby Blue’ and ‘Heal’ from their third U.S. full-length album, before giving the first-ever live performance of ‘MAGIC,’ the title track of their new release. Solo stages, a SHOWNU X HYUNGWON unit stage, ‘Beautiful Liar,’ ‘Alligator’ and ‘Shoot Out’ followed, and the show closed with ‘Growing Pains.’ The start of the tour was also covered by New York morning show ‘Good Day New York.’ “We’re happy and grateful to start the North American tour amid such passionate cheers. We’re amazed by the energy of local fans on every tour,” the members said. MONSTA X continue the tour at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York on Oct. 6 (local time).
