(UPDATE) The wait is over for Filipino MONSTIEZ, who are finally getting the chance to "choom" along to the beats of BABYMONSTER.

A presale for Weverse users will take place on June 1, followed by the Mastercard presale on June 2 and the Live Nation Philippines presale on June 3. General ticket sales will begin on June 4 via SM Tickets.
The tour takes its title from the seven-member group's extended play (EP) of the same name — released on May 4 — which itself comes from the Korean word for "dance."
Only six of BABYMONSTER's seven members — Ruka, Pharita, Asa, Ahyeon, Rora and Chiquita — participated in the EP, as Rami remains on hiatus due to health reasons.
BABYMONSTER debuted in April 2024 with their self-titled EP and have since built a following through edgy, hip hop-infused singles such as "Sheesh," "Hot Sauce" and "We Go Up."
