K-pop group to make city stop on European tour

A K-pop group are set to appear in Wolverhampton as part of a European tour.

XLOV are made up of leader and co-producer Wumuti along with Rui, Hyun and Haru, with their growing fandom called Evol, the band's managers said.

The group's performance will be Wolverhampton's first K-pop concert, promoters 5Oceans Entertainment claimed.

This will be their first European tour and, as well as appearing at The Halls venue in the city on 11 February, the group will perform in Manchester the following evening.

The K-pop genre originated in South Korea and evolved from a localised genre to a global phenomenon, encompassing a wide range of youth culture and musical styles and sounds.

One of the biggest streaming hits of 2025 was the animated film KPop Demon Hunters which tells the story of K-pop stars Rumi, Mira, and Zoey who double as secret guardians of the world.

Its catchy music and dance sequences made it hugely popular with young audiences.
