On May 14, 2025, girl group XG performed to a sold-out audience of 50,000 fans at the legendary Tokyo Dome, providing a spectacular finale to their first international tour.
This performance, which marked a significant turning point in their meteoric rise, was the grand finale of XG's first world tour, "The first HOWL," which saw them perform 47 thrilling shows to 400,000 people in 35 cities across 18 countries.
The Tokyo Dome performance followed XG's Coachella 2025 debut, where they not only dazzled the audience but also achieved global acclaim from the media and peaked at number two on X. The group's increasing worldwide influence is demonstrated by the fact that tickets for this finale sold out immediately.
Wearing eye-catching red costumes, XG kicked off the evening with a strong performance of "HESONOO + X-GENE" from their first mini-album, NEW DNA.
This was followed by the energetic "SHINOBI," a Coachella favourite. Highlights included the crowd-pleasing song "GRL GVNG," which became the first Japanese artist's song to top Billboard's "Hot Trending Songs Powered by Twitter" chart, and an enthralling performance of "HOWLING" from their second mini-album.
They received thunderous applause when they performed "UNDEFEATED," their collaboration with the first-person shooter game VALORANT, for the first time on their tour. High-tempo songs like "TGIF," "IYKYK," and their debut single "Tippy Toes" kept the energy going. The audience was enthralled by a visually spectacular performance of "IN THE RAIN," complete with umbrella choreography.
One of the most memorable moments came with “XG MOVE #1,” never before performed live, which received the loudest cheers of the evening. Showcasing their signature blend of rap and vocals, MAYA and COCONA impressed with “SHOW YOU CAN,” while JURIN, HARVEY, CHISA, HINATA, and JURIA delivered powerful solo and unit stages.

Closing with their historic hit “LEFT RIGHT,” the night wrapped up a phenomenal 2.5-hour, 23-song spectacle, solidifying XG’s place on the global stage.
