Boy band BEAST will tour the world starting in February of next year, according to their agency Cube Entertainment on Monday.

An official with Cube told 10Asia over the phone that the sextet will hold a total of 35 concerts in 21 cities throughout 14 countries for the tour which will be kicked off by the first series of shows in Seoul on February 4 and 5.

Some of the other countries BEAST will perform in are Germany, England, Spain, the U.S., Canada, Toronto, Singapore, Japan, Thailand, China, Taiwan, Indonesia, Hong Kong and the Philippines, the official added.

BEAST, as one of the most popular K-pop acts in Korea, has already performed in most of the countries they are set to visit for their upcoming tour.

They have also expanded their singing career into Japan which has been met with success and they are popular in many countries across Asia.

Demand for the group has also been seen to be growing in South America and Europe -- BEAST and their fellow labelmates 4minute and G.NA held joint concerts in England and Brazil earlier this month.
