NMIXX are going global. After a huge year that saw “Blue Valentine” hit a real-time all-kill and push the group into new territory, their first world tour, EPISODE 1: ZERO FRONTIER, will finally bring the group across Europe and North America next spring.

 

NMIXX have been circling the European touring conversation for a while, but the actual confirmation still lands with a jolt. For a team that spent 2024 testing international waters with BST Hyde Park and I-Days Milano, the upgrade to a full tour feels overdue. Those festival sets proved the demand was there; this is the moment they commit.

 

The timing lines up almost too neatly. “Blue Valentine” has been the group’s biggest breakout yet, cutting through an aggressively competitive Q4 and pulling them into chart territory JYP girl groups haven’t touched in years. The track hit a Real-Time All-Kill in late 2025 and hovered close to a full PAK – something that rarely happens anymore. Even brushing that ceiling is a statement. It means the song wasn’t just popular with fandom metrics but was dominating all the major platforms at once: Melon, Genie, FLO, Bugs, YouTube Music charts, iChart, the whole ecosystem. In short, “Blue Valentine” became the group’s first truly omnipresent hit, the kind you hear everywhere without trying.

 

That kind of traction changes a group’s options. Once the domestic numbers hit that level, a global campaign stops being a gamble and becomes an inevitability. NMIXX have already done the groundwork with their 2023 showcase tour Nice to MIXX You, which took them through smaller theatres across North America. That run played like a proof-of-concept. ZERO FRONTIER reads like the graduation – larger rooms, more cities, and a sense that the narrative around them has shifted.

 

The routing is tight but ambitious. Europe opens the door first, starting in Madrid on 17 March at Palacio Vistalegre before moving through Amsterdam’s AFAS Live, Paris’s Salle Pleyel, Frankfurt’s Jahrhunderthalle, and a London stop at the Eventim Apollo on 26 March. These are not test-market venues; they’re solid, mid-large halls, and if the group’s festival crowds were any indication, these rooms will fill quickly.

 

North America follows without much of a breather. Toronto’s Great Canadian Theatre hosts the first show on 29 March, then Brooklyn on the 31st at the newly revived Brooklyn Paramount. From there, the tour pushes down the East Coast to MGM National Harbor on 2 April, then across to Texas for Irving’s Toyota Music Factory on 4 April. The final stretch lands in California – Oakland’s Paramount Theatre on 7 April and YouTube Theater in Los Angeles on 9 April. That last one is a real benchmark; YouTube Theater is a favourite for large-scale K-pop productions, and groups typically hit it once they’ve built enough catalogue and fanbase to sustain a full show.

 

There’s a sense that this run represents a turning point. NMIXX have always been positioned as a group built on sharp performance and unpredictable production choices, but “Blue Valentine” shifted how they sit in the wider landscape. The world tour looks like the next step in that recalibration – expanding the story they’ve finally begun to write on their own terms.
