Less than a year after debuting, 2026 Forbes 30 Under 30 honorees CORTIS have announced their first standalone concert tour. Their label Big Hit Music confirmed the ’26 CORTIS Tour: Put Your Phone Down via the group’s official Weverse on June 1, spanning eight cities across South Korea, North America, and Japan across July, August, and September 2026. Here is everything you need to know.

CORTIS — an acronym for Color Outside the Lines — is a five-member boy group under Big Hit Music and Republic Records in the US, consisting of James, Juhoon, Martin, Seonghyeon, and Keonho.
Big Hit Music’s third boy group after BTS and TXT, they debuted in 2025, with the single “What You Want.” This was followed by their first EP Color Outside the Lines in September 2025, which debuted at number 15 on the Billboard 200. This was the second-highest charting entry for a K-pop act’s debut album.
Their second EP GREENGREEN, released early last month, debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 and sold 2,313,291 copies in its first week. Title track “Redred” made them the first Korean boy group to debut within the last five years to enter Spotify’s Weekly Top Songs Global chart.
What CORTIS’ Tour Name Means
The title “Put Your Phone Down” is a pointed one for a group whose members have been vocal about being swarmed at airports and whose song “Redred” references being surrounded by cameras. There seems deliberate intent to create a live experience built around presence rather than ubiquitous documentation of concerts today, a theme that connects directly to their broader creative identity around authenticity and breaking conventions.

How To Get CORTIS Tour Tickets
Ticket and presale details had not been announced at time of publication. Fans should monitor CORTIS’s official Weverse and the HYBE social channels for on-sale announcements. Given that GREENGREEN racked up 2.4 million preorders and their Lollapalooza aftershow at House of Blues Chicago on July 31 is already on sale, demand for these dates is expected to be high.
