INFINITE is poised to further solidify their status in Japan after expanding their singing careers into Japan last year.

INFINITE's official Japanese website showed on Tuesday that the seven-member boy band will kick off their first arena tour in Japan, dubbed "Second Invasion - Evolution in Japan Arena Tour 2012."

Starting with the Yokohama leg on October 27 and 28, INFINITE will open shows in Nagoya on November 1, Kobe on November 3 and finish in Fukuoka on November 11.

The boys have previously brought their Japanese fans to their feet by holding "Second Invasion," at the Tokyo International Forum in February.

Prior to their arena tour, INFINITE will take part in Japan's largest summer music festival, Summer Sonic, next month.

The officials said the boys will display their powerful dance moves and hit songs during the Mountain Stage at the QVC Marine Field in Tokyo on August 18 and Maishima Summer Sonic in Osaka on August 19.

INFINITE -- composed of Sung-kyu, Dong-woo, Woo-hyun, L, Sung-yeol, Hoya and Sung-jong -- broke into the K-pop scene with the first album, "First Invasion," in 2010.
