Fan Tips
Arrive Early for Merchandise
Official merchandise and venue-exclusive items may sell out before the concert begins. Fans interested in purchasing tour goods should arrive early and check whether the venue provides an outdoor merchandise booth or pre-show sales period.
Prepare Your Mobile Ticket
Ticketmaster advises fans to access their tickets through the Ticketmaster app or add them to a mobile wallet before leaving for the venue. The scannable barcode may not become available until closer to the concert date.
Check Venue-Specific Entry Rules
Bag restrictions, prohibited items, light stick policies, and security procedures vary by venue. Review the official venue information shortly before the concert rather than assuming that the same rules apply at every stop.
Allow Extra Time for Security
Large theatres may have substantial entry lines, particularly for sold-out performances. Arriving early allows time for security screening, merchandise purchases, restroom visits, and finding your seat.
Check Transportation Before the Show
Some venues are located outside the central downtown area. The Los Angeles concert, for example, takes place at YouTube Theater in Inglewood, while the Texas concert is located in Irving rather than central Dallas. Plan parking or public transportation in advance.

Why the Tour Matters
The **2026 CORTIS TOUR
Rather than beginning with small promotional appearances alone, CORTIS is entering established theatres in Toronto, New York, Atlanta, Texas, Southern California, and San Francisco. The additional San Francisco performance also demonstrates the strong demand surrounding the group’s first international tour.
For existing fans, the tour offers the first opportunity to experience CORTIS’s music and performance style in a full headlining format. For new listeners, it provides an introduction to one of BIGHIT MUSIC’s newest groups during the formative stage of its career.
Curator’s Note
A debut North American tour is always a pivotal chapter in a K-pop group’s global journey. For CORTIS, taking the stage across major North American cities less than a year after debut shows both the global reach of BIGHIT MUSIC and the fast-growing international curiosity around the group’s performance identity.
