Crossover quartet Forestella will make history as the first Korean group to perform on the main stage of New York’s Carnegie Hall, headlining an eight-city North American tour in early 2027.

The group — Bae Doo-hoon, Kang Hyung-ho, Cho Min-gyu and Ko Woo-rim — confirmed the full itinerary on November 11 through its official social media channels, unveiling an integrated tour poster for “BEYOND : ACROSS THE HORIZON” with San Francisco as the final city revealed, completing a rollout that began in mid-October with four dates.

The tour opens January 9 in Los Angeles, followed by Dallas on January 16 and Seattle on January 23. Forestella will then play New York on January 30, Toronto on February 6, Washington D.C. on February 13, Atlanta on February 19 and San Francisco on February 26, all in local time. The eight-city run is a clear step up from the group’s first Americas tour in 2023.

Ticket demand is already strong. The Los Angeles date at the Yaamava’ Theater has sold out, and tickets for Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage — the venue’s main stage — began selling at 1 a.m. KST on November 11 and are moving fast, according to Sports Kyunghyang. Forestella will be the first Korean singing group to take that stage.

The announcement came through the group’s official social media channels, and no further statement from the group or its agency was available as of press time.

Before heading overseas, Forestella will play the 2026-27 concert “BEYOND : EDGE OF LIGHT,” playing December 24 and 25 at KINTEX Exhibition Hall 2 in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, and January 3 at the Daejeon Convention Center.

The tour caps a landmark eighth-anniversary year for the quartet. Forestella released their fourth full-length album “THE LEGACY” this year, with member Kang Hyung-ho producing all twelve tracks. The group also won the 2026 King of Kings round on KBS2’s “Immortal Songs” with “Chang-gwi,” later releasing it as a single to warm reviews.

Forestella first crossed the Pacific in 2023, becoming the first Korean crossover group to hold a North American tour. The 2027 run doubles the confirmed cities from the original announcement and puts the group on one of the world’s most storied concert stages.

With Los Angeles already sold out and Carnegie Hall tickets selling quickly, fans in the remaining cities will be watching the group’s official channels for ticketing details.
