CORTIS Plots First North American Tour This August

CORTIS will play their first shows in North America this August, an eight-date run the group calls the “Put Your Phone Down” tour. The dates land less than a year after the five-piece — Martin, James, Juhoon, Seonghyeon and Keonho — debuted under BIGHIT MUSIC.

The newly added stops span six cities: Toronto, New York, Atlanta, Irving, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Venues include New York’s Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden, Atlanta’s Fox Theatre and the YouTube Theater in Los Angeles. The group also appears at Lollapalooza in Chicago on August 1 and plays a festival aftershow at the House of Blues the night before.

Two hometown performances in Incheon, South Korea on July 18 and 19 launch the tour. A COER Membership (Global) pre-sale begins June 9 at 3 p.m. local time, with registration open now on Weverse. General tickets go on sale June 10 at 3 p.m. local time via Ticketmaster. A VIP option bundles a premium seat, access to the post-show CORTIS Hi-Bye event and an exclusive gift.

The tour follows a fast first chapter. CORTIS debuted in August 2025 with the EP Color Outside the Lines and returned with GreenGreen, which peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200. Moving directly from Incheon to North American theaters signals the label’s confidence in the group’s live draw, even without an extended touring history.
