CATCH THE YOUNG are heading to the UK this November, with three concerts confirmed in London, Manchester and Birmingham as part of their upcoming IGNITE EVOLVE Europe tour.
The Korean band will kick things off in London on 22 November, before heading north to Manchester on 24 November and finishing the UK leg in Birmingham on 25 November.
It marks another big international step for a band that have been steadily building their identity around what they call “youth pop-rock”, blending the energy of a live band with songs about growing up, uncertainty, relationships and everything that comes with figuring yourself out.
SANI, KIHOON, NAMHYUN, JUNYONG and JUNGMO debuted together in 2023 with Catch The Young : Fragments of Youth, and have spent the years since developing that sound across a growing catalogue of releases and live performances.
Their first full-length album, EVOLVE, arrived earlier this year, led by “Amplify”, while 2026 has also taken the band further outside Korea. Their overseas appearances have included Toronto Korean Festival and K-INDIE ON Festival in Berlin, making this upcoming run feel like a natural next step rather than a completely new direction.
And the tour announcement comes at a pretty perfect time.
CATCH THE YOUNG released their latest single “PARANOIA” on 20 October, just a month or so before the UK dates. The track leans harder into rock than some of their earlier releases, while keeping the themes of youth and growth that have become such a big part of the band's music. All five members are credited as composers on the song too, continuing the group's hands-on involvement in their sound.
Now, UK fans will get three chances to see that translate live.
London will open the tour on 22 November, followed by Manchester and Birmingham, before CATCH THE YOUNG continue on to Amsterdam and Frankfurt.
Venues and ticket details for the UK dates are still to come, but we'll be keeping each Hallyu Doing concert page updated as more information is announced.
