MANILA, Philippines — Global girl group Katseye is heading back to the Philippines next year for concerts in Metro Manila and Cebu.

The pop act announced a Philippine return as part of the group's added stops to its ongoing "Wildworld" tour in the middle of North America visits after going around Europe.

Filipina leader Sophia Laforteza did not perform on the tour as she went on a temporary hiatus to care for her mental health.

Katseye's labels have confirmed though that Sophia would return to group activities once 2027 begins, ensuring her participation in the added stops. Another member Manon Bannerman is still on hiatus.

The group will perform at the Mall of Asia Arena on January 29, Friday, two days after kicking off the Asian leg in Yokohama, Japan.

Katseye will then have shows in Hong Kong and South Korea before returning to the Philippines to perform at the Seaside Cebu Arena on February 7 — the same date of the 69th Grammy Awards.

The tour will continue in Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, Australia, and finally New Zealand in early March.
