This tour marks a significant milestone for HIGHLIGHT, coming shortly after the group’s powerful return in April 2025 with their sixth mini album, ‘From Real to Surreal’, featuring the emotional title track ‘Chains’. The EP was well-received by both fans and critics, reinforcing the group’s continued influence in the K-pop scene.
Debuting in 2009 as BEAST, the group has carved out a unique place in the industry with their dynamic vocals, captivating live stages, and unwavering connection with their fandom, LIGHTs. Over the years, the group has faced numerous challenges, including leaving their former label, establishing Around Us Entertainment, and undergoing a name change to HIGHLIGHT in 2017. In a significant move, they regained the rights to their original name, BEAST, in 2024, but continue to promote as HIGHLIGHT.
Now in their 15th year, HIGHLIGHT is embracing their journey with gratitude and renewed passion. The ‘RIDE OR DIE’ tour is more than a series of concerts—it’s a heartfelt celebration of the group’s past, present, and future. With a mix of classic hits and new songs, the tour promises moments of nostalgia, powerful performances, and emotional fan interactions.
As the quartet prepares to reunite with LIGHTs across Asia, their message is clear: no matter the distance or time, the bond between HIGHLIGHT and their fans remains unbreakable.
