NouerA returns to major Japanese festival for second straight year

NouerA is continuing its global rise with another appearance at a major Japanese music festival.

The group is set to perform on the opening day of Kstyle PARTY 2026 on May 9 at K-Arena Yokohama. This marks NouerA’s second consecutive year participating in the large-scale festival.

Last year, the group appeared at the festival only about a month after debuting, drawing attention for its growing international presence. This year, NouerA is expected to return with even more polished performances.

In March, the group released its third mini album 'POP IT LIKE.' The title track of the same name is a light hip-hop-based song produced by Lay Zhang, attracting significant buzz among fans.

The album achieved a career-high first-week sales record of 240,000 copies. 'POP IT LIKE' also saw strong results on Chinese short-form platform Douyin, reaching No. 1 on the challenge chart, No. 2 on the entertainment chart, and No. 26 on the main chart. The song was additionally nominated for first place on Music Bank during the third week of March.

NouerA is also preparing to launch its first world tour, “CATCH THE WAVE,” beginning May 23 in Amsterdam. The large-scale tour will span Europe, Asia, and North America, further accelerating the group’s global activities.
