ALPHA DRIVE ONE are spending the back half of July on water festival stages before their second mini album lands in August.

The WAKEONE group perform at the 'Water Music Pool Party' on July 18, on the special stage set up at the outdoor wave pool at Caribbean Bay in Yongin. The pool party runs through August 17 and has been rotating K-pop acts through the wave pool all summer.

They follow that with 'Waterbomb Seoul 2026' on July 24, playing the opening day at the outdoor global stage at KINTEX in Ilsan. The festival runs July 24 to 26, and the first-day lineup puts the rookies alongside Diplo, Taemin, Simon Dominic, Changmo, Lee Young Ji, KISS OF LIFE, and KickFlip.

The second mini album arrives in August, a plan their agency laid out back in April when it mapped the year: a prologue single in May, then the mini album to close out the run.

That May single was 'No School Tomorrow', released on May 26. It was the group's first comeback after debuting in January with their first mini album 'EUPHORIA'.

ALPHA DRIVE ONE formed through Mnet's survival show 'Boys II Planet' and debuted in January as the first new K-pop group of 2026. They recently wrapped their first fan-con tour 'STAR-ROAD', which sold 25,000 seats.
