TXT Beam Nagoya Show to 53 Regions on Moa Con Tour

Big Hit Music made the call on Thursday morning Seoul time: when Tomorrow X Together take the stage in Nagoya on May 24, fans in 53 territories — Korea, the US, and Canada among them — will be able to watch it on cinema screens, live in most regions and on a delayed broadcast in others. The Japan leg of the quintet's Moa Con tour just turned into the group's biggest broadcast event of the run.

The five members are marking their seventh anniversary on this tour, and the broadcast call signals how Big Hit is treating the milestone — less a Japan-fan reward, more a platform moment.

Why a Nagoya date became the broadcast anchor

Pulling a single Japan-leg show into 53 markets is a deliberate spotlight choice. Big Hit picked Nagoya — one of four Japanese stops on the run — over the Tokyo or Osaka options Western fans would expect. The full Japan trip covers four stops across Aichi, Chiba, Fukuoka, and Hyogo prefectures, with the run spread across May and June.

Centering the broadcast on the Aichi date gives Big Hit a midpoint moment — past whatever production tweaks the opener requires, before the run wears the band down. It's the kind of slot that historically lands the cleanest performance for a multi-night Japan trip.

The broadcast lands on top of a chart moment

The livestream rollout doesn't happen in a vacuum. TXT released their eighth EP, 7th Year: A Moment of Stillness in the Thorns, in April. The mini-album entered the Billboard 200 at No. 3 and sold over 1.8 million copies in its first week. Lead single "Stick with You" pulled five trophies on Korean television music chart shows.

That's the chart context Big Hit is leaning into. A 53-region cinema broadcast is a margin play — ticket revenue from screens the agency does not have to tour to — that only pencils when the album cycle is already pulling weight. Translation: the demand math worked, so the agency expanded distribution.

What this means if you're planning to watch

This is a cinema live viewing from IG Arena in Nagoya, not a Weverse stream. Tickets go on sale May 7 at 9 a.m. ET, and at 10 a.m. KST in Korea, through the participating cinemas.

The start time is the variable most fans miss. In some territories the screening runs later than the Nagoya show to fit local time zones, so go by your cinema's listing rather than converting from Japan time.

Mina's Take

The interesting move here isn't the broadcast itself — it's the choice of Nagoya as the anchor. Tokyo would be the obvious flagship, Osaka the obvious upgrade. Picking the Aichi date suggests Big Hit Music is willing to let a non-headline Japanese city carry a global event broadcast for a HYBE group, which is a quieter shift than the headline implies. The seven-year framing also does more work than the press release lets on — it converts a tour stop into an anniversary moment, and Western fan media tends to cover anniversaries more aggressively than mid-tour broadcast announcements. If the May 24 broadcast clears whatever internal benchmark Big Hit set, expect another HYBE group to use a non-Tokyo Japanese city for a flagship stream within the next 12 months.

What to watch next

• The participating cinemas in each of the 53 regions — the listing, not Weverse, is where your screening time will be.
• The HYBE playbook in reverse: BTS' Arirang shows brought fans to Korea instead — the tourism numbers — and the album went platinum in France thirty days after gold.
• Whether Big Hit adds a second broadcast night for Chiba, Fukuoka, or Hyogo — that decision signals how the agency rates the cannibalization risk.
• Every other confirmed K-pop date we are tracking sits in the October comeback calendar.

Correction, September 21, 2026: an earlier version described the Nagoya broadcast as a Weverse livestream with replay windows. It is a cinema live viewing, with delayed screenings in some regions and tickets sold through cinemas from May 7; the sections on buying and watching have been rewritten.
