Boy band Tomorrow X Together will perform at the 2026 Global Citizen Festival on Sept. 26, its agency BigHit Music said Friday.

The band will be the only Korean artist in this year's lineup, performing alongside artists including John Legend, Lenny Kravitz, Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean, Lainey Wilson and Shaboozey.

The festival will take place in Central Park in New York and hosted by actor Hugh Jackman.

The annual music festival aims to raise awareness and inspire action on global issues such as ending extreme poverty, tackling climate change and reducing inequality. K-pop artists such as NCT 127, BTS's Jungkook and Blackpink's Lisa and Rosé previously participated in the event. 

Tomorrow X Together debuted in 2019 with the EP “The Dream Chapter: Star.” The band is known for songs including “9 and Three Quarters (Run Away)” (2019) and “Sugar Rush Ride” (2023).

The band is also scheduled to perform at KCON LA 2026, which runs from Friday through Sunday. Member Yeonjun will give a solo performance Saturday, while Tomorrow X Together will headline the festival as a band the following day.

The band is also set to appear at the 2026 TMElive International Music Awards on Aug. 22. The event will run from Aug. 22 to 23.
