Balming Tiger has performed in the UK several times since their formation in 2018, including The Great Escape festival in 2022 and the Pitchfork Music Festival in 2023.

14th July: Stray Kids and Nmixx at BST Hyde Park Festival
Stray Kids and Nmixx will be performing at BST Hyde Park Festival in London on Sunday 14th July 2024.
Stray Kids is an eight-member boy group formed by JYP Entertainment, consisting of members Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N. They will headline London’s BST Hyde Park festival on Sunday, 14th July, making them the first K-Pop boy group to do so. The first-ever K-Pop headliner was Blackpink, who headlined the festival the previous year.
Supporting Stray Kids is their label mates, Nmixx. Formed by SQU4D, a sub-label of JYP, this girl group includes six members: Lily, Haewon, Sullyoon, Bae, Jiwoo, and Kyujin. This will be Nmixx’s first performance in the UK.
Stray Kids will be making a comeback on 19th July with their new album, "ATE," just days after their BST Hyde Park performance. UK Stays (Stray Kids’ fandom name) will undoubtedly be hoping for some exclusive comeback spoilers at the event.

21st July: Billlie
Billlie will be performing at London’s Troxy on Sunday 21st July as part of their ‘Our FLOWERLD (Belllie’ve You)’ world tour.
Billlie is a seven-member girl group under Mystic Story Entertainment, consisting of members Moon Sua, Suhyeon, Haram, Tsuki, Siyoon, Haruna, and Sheon. They debuted in November 2021 with the extended play "The Billage of Perception: Chapter One."
This concert will mark Billlie’s first in the UK, following three previously cancelled performances. Billlie was first scheduled to appear at the MIK Festival held in July 2022, but their appearance was cancelled after two members tested positive for COVID-19. They were also scheduled to appear at K-Flex at the O2 in November 2022, which was cancelled. In 2023, Billlie was set to perform at London’s O2 Arena as part of the KPOP LUX lineup, which was run by the same company as the previously cancelled K-Flex concert, but this concert was also cancelled, disappointing many K-Pop fans.
Given all this, Billlie’s fans, known as Belllie’ve, are eagerly looking forward to the group finally performing a full concert in the UK as part of their Europe tour.

26th July: I.M
I.M will be performing at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on Friday 26th July as the first stop in Europe on his 2024 world tour ‘Off the Beat’.
Im Changkyun, also known by his stage name I.M, is a rapper, singer, songwriter, and producer. He is the youngest member of Monsta X, who debuted under Starship Entertainment in 2015. I.M made his solo debut with the EP "Duality" in 2021.
The ‘Off the Beat’ tour marks I.M's first-ever world tour as a solo artist. Monsta X previously visited the UK in 2019 on their We Are Here world tour, performing at Wembley Arena, and in 2018 they performed at Eventim Apollo.
