The 4ward World Tour is the second worldwide concert tour by South Korean girl group Mamamoo. It is held in support of their single album 4ward (2026), the group's first new music release since Mic On (2022). The tour began on 19 June 2026 in Seoul, South Korea, and is set to conclude on 29 November 2026 in Taipei, Taiwan, with a total of 23 shows across Asia, North America and Oceania.
Background Following the release of the extended play Mic On in 2022, Mamamoo entered a hiatus while the members focused on their individual careers and side projects including Mamamoo+. In October 2025, RBW confirmed that Mamamoo would reunite in 2026 and that a world tour was being planned. In December 2025, RBW confirmed that the group would release a new album in June 2026 and would embark on a large-scale world tour.
Details for the tour were revealed on 3 April 2026, when Mamamoo released the 2026 World Tour announcement poster through their official social media. The world tour was confirmed to start in Seoul on 19 June, the 12th anniversary of the group's debut. On 11 May, RBW announced the title of the tour to be "4ward", which is a combination of the number four to represent the four members and the word forward, symbolizing Mamamoo's progress and their new journey as a group. The first concerts of the tour were scheduled to be held at the Olympic Hall in Seoul from 19 June to 21 June. In planning the tour, the members expressed a desire to dedicate their performances to their fans, and Hwasa stated that she wanted her live performances to show "an energy that is on a completely different level from the studio recordings".
The 4ward World Tour also included a leg in the United States, marking the group's first performances in the country since the My Con World Tour in 2023. The leg began in Belmont Park in New York, followed by shows in Chicago, Illinois, Fort Worth and Cedar Park in Texas, Los Angeles and San Jose in California, and Kent, Washington.
Additional shows in other countries were revealed in the months following the tour's announcement. On 7 July, shows were confirmed in Jakarta and in Kuala Lumpur, and on 8 July, two shows were announced to be held in Sydney and Melbourne in Australia in September. On 20 July, a show in Tokyo was confirmed for October. On 11 September, the Jakarta show was cancelled due to unsafe conditions caused by volcanic activity at Anak Krakatoa. On 15 September, RBW announced that the tour would conclude with two final shows in Taipei on 28 and 29 November.
