Boy band NCT 127 will meet its fans in Japan from May through its Japanese tour “Neo City - The Link.”

According to its agency SM Entertainment Thursday, the tour will cover three cities, starting in Nagoya in May 22 before heading to Tokyo and Osaka.

The band's last Japanese tour was “Neo City: Japan - The Origin” in 2019.

There will be a total of five performances — Vantelin Dome Nagoya on May 22, Tokyo Dome on May 28 and 29 and Kyocera Dome Osaka on June 25 and 26.

“It’s the band’s first dome tour,” SM Entertainment said. “We anticipate an explosive response from the fans as NCT 127 shows off splendid performances, fueled by trendy music, on an upgraded large-scale stage in a dome.”

NCT 127 debuted in 2016 as a subunit of SM Entertainment's 23-member boy band NCT, and is best known for its songs "Firetruck" (2016), "Cherry Bomb" (2017), "Simon Says" (2018), "Kick It" (2020) and "Favorite" (2021).
