EXCLUSIVE: PSYCHIC FEVER talk their London show, dream collabs and what to pack for tour
PSYCHIC FEVER are coming back to Europe this summer, and this time it is for their first ever full fanmeet tour. Following the huge response to their London meet and greet last year, the group will be heading to Berlin and London this July for an up-close event packed with live performances, games, gifts, and a chance to properly meet their European ForEVERs.
We caught up with PSYCHIC FEVER ahead of the tour to chat about what they have got planned, how they are feeling about meeting European ForEVERs, and which UK artists they would love to team up with. (Plus, you will never guess which member always travels with nail clippers.)

PSYCHIC FEVER are a seven-member Japanese boy group under LDH JAPAN, made up of KOKORO, WEESA, TSURUGI, RYOGA, REN, JIMMY and RYUSHIN. They first debuted in 2022 as part of EXILE TRIBE and have already made a name for themselves with their blend of dance, vocals, rap and beatboxing, not to mention a seriously global energy that’s seen them tour across Asia, Europe and the US.
Their music draws on hip-hop, R&B, Afro vibes and Japanese soul, with a mission to inspire fans and “ignite dreams” wherever they go.
This July, they’re bringing their first official fanmeet tour to Europe, kicking off in Berlin on 11th July before heading to London on 13th July. The London show will also mark the group’s third debut anniversary, so fans can expect an extra special atmosphere on the day.
The fanmeets promise a more up-close experience than a typical concert, with a chance to chat with the members, take part in fun games and a Q&A, grab exclusive merch (yes, there’s a football jersey), and enjoy a mini performance. If you’re a fan of PSYCHIC FEVER or just curious to see them live for the first time — this is the perfect chance.
Ahead of the tour, we caught up with the members for an exclusive Hallyu Doing interview…
Hallyu Doing: “This is your very first fanmeet tour in Europe, congratulations! How does it feel to be coming back to Europe and connecting with fans in this new way?”
TSURUGI: "We were so excited to be in Europe to meet with our fans. Meeting them for the first time, we were nervous, but everyone here has been so welcoming to us.”
Hallyu Doing: “Without giving too much away… what can fans expect from the show? Is there one song you’re especially excited to perform on this tour?”
KOKORO: “We’re going to be going all out and it’ll be high energy with our songs from start to finish. Get ready to dance and sing along with us!”
RYOGA: “We’d like to keep the setlist a secret for now, but we’re planning to perform some songs from our newly released EP as well!”
Hallyu Doing: “Is there anything you want to say to UK fans who are thinking about coming along?”
WEESA: “We have so much prepared for you and we want to show you what we got! We would love for you to come and see us live, and we want to meet our ForEVERs. Don’t miss out and we’ll see you there!”

Hallyu Doing: “Which UK artist would be your dream collaboration?”
PSYCHIC FEVER: “Central Cee and PinkPantheress!”
Hallyu Doing: “What’s your dream city to perform in next?”
RYUSHIN: “There are so many places we haven’t been to yet — we’d really like to head to places like Nigeria and Morocco, but also unlock more cities in the US as well.”
