According to their agency, 3Y Corporation, on the 13th, QWER will kick off their second tour, “ROCKATION: ROCKET LAUNCH!!,” over two days—the 12th and 13th of next month—at the Hwajeong Gymnasium on the Korea University campus in Seoul.
QWER held their first tour last year, traveling across Asia and the Americas. They incorporated their aspiration to “deliver QWER’s music to a wider world, just like a rocket reaching into space” into the new tour title.
After kicking off the tour in Seoul, QWER will visit Taipei, Fukuoka, Osaka, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Singapore in succession through January of next year.
Their agency stated, “QWER plans to connect passionately with fans both at home and abroad through a setlist that showcases the musical prowess they have built up over the years.”
General ticket sales for QWER’s “Rocket Launch!!” Seoul concert will begin today at 8:00 p.m. via Melon Ticket.
