'Act: Love Sick': TXT announce FIRST world tour, fans say: 'Stop pranking us'

TXT will be making a comeback in May, followed by the US leg of their first world tour in July

2022 truly is redeeming itself. We are finally getting in-person, offline concerts and events like KCON. Legendary K-pop acts are reuniting or making a comeback like BIGBANG, 2NE1, PSY, GOT7, BTS and Blackpink. Groups, that had debuted during or just before the lockdown era, are getting a chance to meet their fans in person and perform for them for the first time. Similarly, TXT has announced its very first world tour.

Having debuted in 2019, TXT got a chance to perform in the US as they held a debut showcase at six stops back in May 2019 from LA to New York. However, that was it. The K-pop group did hold three concerts in Seoul and an online concert since then but it has been a while since international MOAs (TXT’s fans) have seen them perform live. But there’s good news. While TXT has been dropping teasers for their upcoming album release ‘Minisode 2: Thursday’s Child’ for May 9, they went ahead and announced ‘Act: Love Sick’, their first world tour.
