We’re already counting down the days.
From July 15 through Aug. 2, international sensation IU aka Lee Ji-eun is scheduled to headline six huge concerts at arenas all over the U.S. as part of her ‘HER World Tour.’
The sprawling tour, which officially got underway in IU’s home country South Korea on March 2, will mark the first time that the “LILAC” singer will perform in North America.
In fact, as of now, she’s never performed outside of Asia.
Once she arrives stateside, IU will kick off the tour at Newark, NJ’s Prudential Center on Monday, July 15.
After that, she’ll drop into Atlanta’s State Farm Arena (July 19), Washington, D.C.’s Capital One Arena (July 22), Rosemont’s Allstate Arena (July 25), Oakland’s Oakland Arena (July 30) and Los Angeles’ Kia Forum (Aug. 2).
Given the novelty of the tour, tickets to see the pop icon live are not cheap.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find was $287 before fees on Vivid Seats.
Other shows have tickets starting anywhere from $299 to $448 before fees.

IU new music
On Feb. 20, IU dropped the five-song EP “Love Wins All.”
The five-track mini-album gets things going with the energetic anthem “Shopper” that will have listeners grooving in no time.
After that, the 30-year-old singer delivers the hypnotic “Holssi,” which mashes the sensibilities of ’00s R&B with modern K-Pop to create a delectable bop.
“Shh..” is a bit slower and bluesier than the aforementioned bangers but serves as an excellent palate cleanser ahead of the gorgeous, romantic ballad “Love Wins All.”
To close the album out, IU wraps things up with “I Stan U,” a cross between Sheryl Crow quirk and unforgettable Avril Lavigne grandiosity.
All in all, IU makes the most of “Love Wins All’s” short run time; by the time it’s over, you’ll be want to hear it all over again.
