2NE1 is now a step closer to returning to stage with the group's first-ever, and the first of all K-pop female acts, world tour concert set to kick off as soon as next month.
About a month before the K-pop icons give the first opening of “NEW REVOLUTION” in Seoul, YG Entertainment revealed a teaser photo of 2NE1’s leader CL on Monday.
Donned in black leather shorts, fishnet stocking and leopard-print ankle booties, CL is looking straight into the camera next to the phrase, “Are You Ready?”
CL, exuding the vibe of a heroine or ‘female warrior’ in the revealed photo, may not be the only one who is ready for the highly awaited show happening in seven cities in ten countries.
The whole production crew of “NEW REVOLUTION" seems to be ready with some secret weapons to be brought to the event.
The "Ugly" singers' large-scale show is armed with some of the top musicians and performance directors that have worked with A-list artists such as Janet Jackson, Lady Gaga and Usher, to name a few.
According to the firm’s statement, King of Pop Michael Jackson’s “This is It” tour choreographer Travis Payne and Beyonce tour band’s leader Divinity Roxx will join the girls to bring 2NE1 fans to their feet.
The Seoul leg of “NEW REVOLUTION” will be held at the Olym Park Gymnastics Stadium on July 28 and 29, which is not far after the girls drop a new album in the country.
A month and a half after the Seoul run, CL, Minzy, Park Bom and Sandara Park will take their tour to Japan on September 1 and the firm will announce following concert dates and venue on a later date.
