IVE starts North American tour with first-ever solo concerts in Canada
IVE wrapped up its first solo concerts in Canada as the group kicked off the North American leg of its world tour.
Starship Entertainment confirmed that IVE performed stops from their second world tour, ‘SHOW WHAT I AM’, in Toronto on July 21 and Montreal on July 23 (local time).
The shows opened with ‘GOTCHA’ and ‘XOXZ’, followed by performances of ‘BLACKHOLE’, ‘TKO’, ‘Holy Moly’ and ‘My Satisfaction’. The group delivered powerful live vocals and dynamic performances, with new styling and upgraded stage arrangements.
Solo stages were a concert highlight. Wonyoung performed ‘8’, and Rei, Liz, Gaeul, Leeseo and Yujin each had individual performances that showed their distinct charms while underscoring the group’s chemistry.
The energy rose in the latter half with hit tracks such as ‘ATTITUDE’, ‘LOVE DIVE’, ‘REBEL HEART’ and ‘I AM’. During ‘BANG BANG’, local fans sang along to the Korean lyrics, reflecting IVE’s expanding international fanbase.
For the encore, IVE performed ‘Supernova Love’, ‘Kitsch’ and ‘After LIKE’, interacting closely with fans near the stage as the venues stayed filled with cheers until the end.
IVE said through Starship Entertainment:
“We’re especially grateful because this was our first solo concert in Canada. Thanks to Dive’s passionate support, we were able to begin our North American tour on a great note,”
“We will continue to create happy memories for more fans around the world.”
After the Canadian dates, IVE will continue its North American tour, visiting major cities including Newark, Austin, Los Angeles, Oakland, Seattle and Vancouver.
