TOMORROW X TOGETHER Rents a Practice Room After Rain Cancels Their Stage — the "New York Practice Room Festival": "All We Need Is Music and a Mic"
Boy group TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT) gave fans a surprise gift with a "practice room festival" stage. When bad weather wiped out their entire New York festival stage, they rented an indoor practice room and performed every set they had prepared, live. Global Citizen Festival Canceled — A Quick Response TOMORROW X TOGETHER (SOOBIN, YEONJUN, BEOMGYU, TAEHYUN, HUENINGKAI) had planned to appear at the "2026 Global Citizen Festival," set to be held in New York's Central Park on the 26th (local time). As the only Korean act on this year's lineup, they were to open the show, with YEONJUN also performing a solo set. But the event was canceled due to severe local weather. In response, TOMORROW X TOGETHER quickly rented an indoor practice room and presented the stage they couldn't show on-site via live streaming on the fan platform Weverse. The "New York Practice Room Festival," held at 9 a.m. on the 27th (KST), became an unexpected gift for their global fandom MOA, who had been disappointed by the sudden schedule change. The members shared their passion: "We'd worked so hard that it felt wrong not to show it, so we rented a practice room. Only the space has changed — everything else is fully in place. As long as we have music and a mic, we can give it our all anywhere." From a Gugak Version of "Sugar Rush Ride" to YEONJUN's Solo That day, TOMORROW X TOGETHER performed five songs in total, including "Blue Hour", "0X1=LOVESONG (I Know I Love You) feat. Seori," and a cover of Justin Bieber's "Beauty And A Beat." In particular, the gugak (Korean traditional music) version of "Sugar Rush Ride" lifted the mood, blending hanbok-inspired outfits with a performance tinged with Korean color. Prepared for a global festival, the staging stood out for carrying their identity as Korean artists. YEONJUN's solo stage, prepared for the original event, followed as well. He completed the "New York Practice Room Festival" with three songs — "Talk to You" and "Ice Cream," the title tracks of his first and second solo mini-albums, and a cover of Post Malone's "Sunflower." No Lights, No LED — Pure Skill "Tore It Up" The venue changed from New York's Central Park to a practice room, but a space without a single dazzling light or LED only made TOMORROW X TOGETHER's skills stand out more. Their dynamic group choreography brimmed with enough energy to shake the camera, and even without an optimal sound setup, their ringing vocals and tightly interlocking harmonies captured the ear. At the end of the performance, TOMORROW X TOGETHER also surprise-released a comeback spoiler video. Alongside a spinning screen, the phrase "We need something different from before" dropped a comeback hint, raising anticipation for their next steps. World Tour "STEAL THE WIND" in November — Jingle Ball in December Meanwhile, TOMORROW X TOGETHER will raise the curtain on their world tour "TOMORROW X TOGETHER WORLD TOUR 'STEAL THE WIND'" at Seoul's KSPO DOME from November 13 to 15. They will then meet global fans across Asia, Japan, North America, and Europe. They are also set to appear at the "2026 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour," taking place on December 11 in New York, the 13th in Boston, and the 14th in Washington, D.C. Alongside the group, YEONJUN has also joined the lineup as a solo artist. The stage was canceled, but their heart for their fans never was — anticipation is gathering for TOMORROW X TOGETHER's next stage.
