K-pop legend THE RAIN will return to North America this fall with his 2025 THE RAIN TOUR [Still Raining: Encore], marking another milestone in his storied career. Tickets for this highly anticipated three-city run will be available for presale (prior sign-up required) starting September 26, with public sales beginning September 27 via IEMShowPlace.com.
Promoted by Infinite Prospects Entertainment, the entertainment company who brought the recent hyped G-DRAGON tour to the U.S. and previous THE RAIN tour, alongside IEM Group Inc., which has brought international Chinese superstars such as Jay Chou and JJ Lin to North America, the U.S. leg will open November 23 in New York, followed by Los Angeles on November 26 and Atlanta on November 29. Audiences can expect THE RAIN’s signature high-energy performances and timeless hits as he reconnects with fans across the U.S.
The Still Raining: Encore tour follows THE RAIN’s triumphant 2023 North American comeback, his first U.S. concerts in sixteen years. That two-city run in Atlantic City and Las Vegas sold out quickly, underscoring both his enduring legacy and the demand for his return. “Can you believe it’s been seven years since our last concert tour? I’m beyond excited to finally meet you in person. There are so many things I want to show you,” THE RAIN shared at the time.
At recent Still Raining tour stops across Asia, THE RAIN performed a setlist that combined signature hits such as “It’s Raining” and “Rainism” with special covers of contemporary tracks by artists including NewJeans and Bruno Mars. The 2025 North American shows will follow this format, giving audiences the chance to hear both his most iconic songs and newer selections that have featured in his latest performances.
Since debuting in 2002 with Bad Guy, THE RAIN has been a driving force in bringing K-pop to the global stage. His 2004 album “It’s Raining” sold over one million copies, while his role in the hit drama “Full House” made him a household name across Asia. In 2006, The New York Times hailed him as “the ambassador of Asia” following sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden and Las Vegas, establishing him as one of the first K-pop stars to break into the U.S. market. After completing his military enlistment in 2012, he continued to thrive as a singer, actor, and entrepreneur. In 2020, he reunited with Park Jinyoung (J.Y. Park also known as the CEO of JYP Entertainment) for the viral single “Switch To Me,” proving his influence spans generations.
The 2025 encore tour builds on that momentum, offering fans in three of the country’s biggest music hubs the opportunity to celebrate THE RAIN’s legacy and experience his artistry in a new chapter.
