If you follow TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT, 투모로우바이투게더), the next week is crowded. The group opens its fifth world tour, STEAL THE WIND, with three nights at KSPO Dome in Seoul from November 13 to 15, 2026. Then, on Monday, November 16 at 6 p.m. Korea time, the ninth mini album PERFECT STORM arrives with the title track "Angel Bite." Most of the world will hear it at an odd hour, and the tour that follows runs all the way to June 2027.

This page answers the three questions MOA (the fandom) and newer listeners ask most: what time the album drops where you live, what is on it, and which cities the tour reaches. Everything below was checked on November 11, 2026 against the group's official Japanese site, Korean and international entertainment press that reported BIGHIT MUSIC's announcements, and fan media that tracked the rollout. Where a detail has not been announced yet, such as most venues and ticket dates outside Korea, we say so plainly instead of guessing.

Key takeaways

  • Release time: PERFECT STORM goes live on Monday, November 16, 2026 at 6 p.m. KST, which is 9 a.m. in London, 4 a.m. in New York and 1 a.m. in Los Angeles on the same Monday.
  • Six tracks, led by "Angel Bite." CORTIS members Martin, Juhoon and Seonghyeon took part in making the title track, according to the agency's tracklist announcement.
  • Tour: after Seoul (Nov 13-15), STEAL THE WIND visits Macau, four Japanese cities, Kaohsiung, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, seven North American dates in May 2027, six European cities in June 2027 and Hong Kong, as of November 2026. More cities were marked "and more."
  • Not announced yet for most overseas stops: venues, ticket prices and presale dates. Treat any early ticket listing with caution.

1. PERFECT STORM release time in your time zone

The official release is 6 p.m. Korea Standard Time on Monday, November 16, 2026. Korea does not use daylight saving time, and the United States and Europe have already moved back to standard time for the winter, so the gaps below are the ones that apply this week. KST is nine hours ahead of UTC, which makes the global release moment 09:00 UTC.

Where you areLocal release timeDay
Seoul, Tokyo (KST / JST)6:00 p.m.Mon, Nov 16
Manila, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Taipei, Hong Kong5:00 p.m.Mon, Nov 16

Los Angeles, Vancouver (PST)1:00 a.m.Mon, Nov 16
Sydney, Melbourne (AEDT)8:00 p.m.Mon, Nov 16

The practical upshot: fans in Asia and Australia get it in the evening, Europe gets it with morning coffee, and the Americas get it in the middle of the night. If you are in North America, the "Angel Bite" music video will already be out when you wake up, since it premieres together with the album.

2. The tracklist, song by song

The agency revealed the tracklist through the group's official social media at midnight KST on October 24, 2026. PERFECT STORM has six songs. The descriptions in the table summarize how the agency itself introduced each track, as reported by Specialtimes Global; they are not reviews, since nobody outside the label has heard the full album yet.

TrackWho sings / writesWhat the agency says it is about
Storm is...All fiveDiving into a storm to break out of a suffocating reality. Its Korean title translates roughly as "we need something different from before."
Angel Bite (title track)All five; CORTIS's Martin, Juhoon and Seonghyeon took part in the songA "TXT-style love song": wanting to stay with "you" even when youth is far from beautiful.
Higher LoveAll fiveFeelings for a "she" who causes distress but also lifts the narrator higher.
Sweetest EscapeUnit: Yeonjun, Taehyun, HueningkaiWanting to be a sweet refuge for someone in a harsh world.
Touch the SkyUnit: Soobin, Beomgyu (lyrics by both)Comparing the drive for success to a "you" who is like the sky.
Hate It or Love ItAll five; lyrics co-written by Beomgyu, Taehyun, HueningkaiLetting go of what is familiar in order to change, and realizing the changed self is still "me."

The big theme, in the label's words, is the growing pains of a generation that has moved past teenage illusions and now faces the weight of real life. Fan outlet BeautiPin Seoul, which tracked the rollout, reports that the physical album comes in three versions named after the concept films (RIDE THE STORM, EYE OF THE STORM and HOLDING THE STORM) and that the genres range from disco and avant-pop to dance-punk and minimal techno, which matches the genre list Korea Picker reported from the agency.

3. How to be ready on release day

You do not need anything special to listen; the album goes to the usual platforms at once. A few steps help if you want to hear it the moment it lands and keep up with the tour news that tends to drop the same week.

  1. Find your local time in the table above and set a reminder 10 minutes before. Releases go live on the hour, but some apps take a few minutes to show the new album on the artist page.
  2. Follow the artist on the streaming service you actually use (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, or Melon if you are in Korea), so the album appears in your release feed.
  3. Bookmark the official YouTube channels. Music videos and trailers go to the HYBE LABELS channel, while behind-the-scenes films and the group's variety content sit on the TOMORROW X TOGETHER OFFICIAL channel.
  4. Turn on notices in Weverse. BIGHIT MUSIC posts official notices for concerts, membership and events there (the label's notices for the Seoul shows, including any concert stream, are posted there).
  5. Buy physical albums only from the official store or a known retailer. BeautiPin Seoul reports that pre-orders close at 11:59 p.m. KST on November 15 and that shipping starts on November 16 in Korea, November 17 in Japan and November 20 in the US, per the official pre-order notice. Check your retailer's own dates.

Hear it the minute it drops. TXT's official Spotify artist page is where PERFECT STORM will appear at 6 p.m. KST on November 16. Follow the artist there so the new album shows up in your Release Radar and new-release feed.

4. The Seoul opening shows at KSPO Dome

TXT start the tour at home, three days before the album is out. That order is unusual and worth noticing: the first people to hear the new songs performed live are likely to be the fans in the arena, not the ones refreshing a streaming app. The Seoul dates were part of the original schedule BIGHIT MUSIC released in late August, as reported by Korea JoongAng Daily on August 27, 2026.

  • Friday, November 13: 7 p.m. KST
  • Saturday, November 14: 6 p.m. KST
  • Sunday, November 15: 5 p.m. KST

Show times above are as reported by BeautiPin Seoul. KSPO Dome sits inside Olympic Park in Songpa-gu, a short walk from Olympic Park Station on Seoul Subway Lines 5 and 9. If you are visiting Seoul that weekend without a ticket, the surrounding park is a public space you can still walk around, though concert days are busy. BeautiPin also reports that the "Angel Bite" music video teaser is set for November 13, the night the tour opens.

Whether a live stream of the Seoul shows will be sold has to be checked in the official Weverse notices; we did not find a confirmed online stream in the sources we read, so we are not listing one here.

5. STEAL THE WIND tour dates, city by city

The group posted the full STEAL THE WIND schedule on its official accounts on August 26, 2026, and Korea JoongAng Daily, Kapanlagi and Mexico's K-Poca all carried the same list. The Japanese dates are confirmed on TXT's official Japan site. STEAL THE WIND is the follow-up to four tours in the "Act" series; JoongAng Daily reports that the last of those, Act: Tomorrow, played 29 concerts in 17 regions to 564,000 people.

Below is every announced date as of November 11, 2026. Venues are only listed where the official source names them; most are still "to be announced."

A few honest notes on this list. The Japan dates are listed on the official Japan site with all times in JST and the words "details to follow," so venues and ticket rules there are still pending as of this writing. For Mexico City, K-Poca's October 30 update said that venue, prices, ticket seller and presale dates had not been announced. The schedule itself ended with "and more," which means extra cities can still be added, so if your city is missing it is worth watching official notices rather than assuming it is skipped.

How presales usually work is a separate question from how they will work this time. For the 2024 Act: Promise tour in the US, K-Poca notes that MOA members had a presale the day before general sale on Ticketmaster. That is a useful reference point, not a promise; BIGHIT MUSIC may set different rules for this tour. In December the group is also on the 2026 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour in the US, according to Korea Picker, which is separate from STEAL THE WIND.

6. Where this album sits in TXT's story

TXT debuted under BIGHIT MUSIC, the same label as BTS, on March 4, 2019, with the EP The Dream Chapter: Star. The five members are Soobin (the leader), Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun and Hueningkai. Songs such as "Run Away" (2019) and "Sugar Rush Ride" (2023) are the ones newer listeners usually find first.

PERFECT STORM comes seven months after the eighth mini album, 7TH YEAR, released April 13, 2026 with the title track "Stick With You." That record was the group's first together after renewing their contracts, according to BeautiPin Seoul. The summer then went to Japan, with the single "Setsuna Hanabi."

Our read, and it is only that: the weather imagery is doing real work. The April album's Korean title describes a moment when the wind stops among thorns; the tour is called STEAL THE WIND; the new album is a full storm. For a group whose early series followed boys dreaming and searching, PERFECT STORM is pitched as the record about adulthood arriving all at once. Whether the music lives up to that framing is something you can judge from 6 p.m. KST on Monday.

Mark Monday, November 16 at 6 p.m. KST in your own time zone, follow TXT on the platform you use, and keep official notices switched on for the tour. Seoul gets the first live look at PERFECT STORM from November 13; everyone else has a long, spread-out tour to plan for, with most details still to come.
