SHINee’s KEY kicks off his 2025 touring plans in Seoul today (Sept. 26), opening a new chapter for his signature concert series, “KEYLAND.”
Billed as “2025 KEYLAND : Uncanny Valley,” the three-night run takes over Seoul’s Ticketlink Live Arena at Olympic Park from Sept. 26?28.
Leaning into the uncanny valley―the eerie charge that builds as nonhuman forms edge closer to human―the show expands on the “confronting another self” concept from KEY’s third studio album, "HUNTER," released in August. Expect theatrical, left-of-center staging that spotlights his flair for spectacle in bold, immersive ways.
Every song gets a live band treatment this time, dialing up the energy in the room. With KEY’s singular sound, razor-sharp performance, and standout styling, audiences are set to experience the many dimensions of “KEYLAND.”
After Seoul, the itinerary hits Taipei (Oct. 4), Singapore (Oct. 18), Macau (Nov. 16), Tokyo (Nov. 29?30), Los Angeles (Dec. 3), Auckland (Dec. 5), Dallas-Fort Worth (Dec. 8), Brooklyn (Dec. 10), Chicago (Dec. 13), and Seattle (Dec. 15). The trek extends beyond Asia into KEY’s first solo North American tour, stoking global excitement from fans.
