King Gnu

The representative Japanese band King Gnu will reunite with Korean fans through its most city-spanning tour to date, ‘CENTRAL TOUR’.

The Seoul dates, ‘King Gnu CENTRAL TOUR 2026 in Seoul’, will take place on June 20 and 21, 2026, at Seoul KSPO DOME. This tour visits a total of 15 cities across Japan and Asia, the most cities in the history of the band.

In 2024, King Gnu successfully completed Japan’s five-dome tour, ‘THE GREATEST UNKNOWN’, solidifying its status as a leading band in the Japanese music scene. In the subsequent ‘CENTRAL TOUR’, a 360-degree center-stage production will place the stage in the middle of the venue to present a new live experience that surrounds the audience.

In April 2024, King Gnu held its first concert in Korea at Olympic Hall in Olympic Park, meeting Korean fans for the first time. Although the band was highly popular, the show took place in a relatively small venue, leaving many fans without tickets, so this engagement expands the scale significantly, with each show at KSPO DOME accommodating about 15,000 people.

Deeply impressed by the enthusiastic mass sing-alongs at the previous Seoul concert, King Gnu even included a live recording from the Seoul performance on the recently released single ‘AIZO’ CD. This special document, which captured the heat of the Korea show as it was, became a hot topic among fans.

King Gnu’s live shows are also famous for being created together with the audience. The members sometimes come down from the stage to perform close to the crowd, and they actively encourage mass sing-alongs during the show, resulting in strong interaction with the audience. Combined with the 360-degree center-stage production of this tour, this live style is expected to deliver an even more powerful sense of presence.

Since its major debut in 2019, King Gnu has established itself as a leading band in the Japanese music scene with an original sound that crosses genre boundaries and intense live performances. Representative songs include ‘(Baegil)’, which became hugely popular across Japan; the theme song for the film ‘Jujutsu Kaisen 0’, ‘(Yeokmong)’; and ‘SPECIALZ’, the opening theme for the anime ‘Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2’.

King Gnu is a four-piece band consisting of Daiki Tsuneta (guitar, vocals), Satoru Iguchi (vocals, keyboards), Kazuki Arai (bass), and Seki Yu (drums). With an original musical style that combines diverse genres such as rock, hip-hop, and R&B and intense live performances, the band has established itself as a representative act of the Japanese music scene, and has been recognized as a leading live band in Japan by successfully completing large dome and arena tours.
