Before you plan your route
Many Chicago events overlap, particularly on August 26, August 28 and August 29. Several venues are clustered around Chinatown and the South Loop, but Oakbrook Terrace and Cicero require additional travel time.
The Los Angeles events are spread across Greater LA and Orange County. Gardena, Anaheim, Orange, Pasadena, Monterey Park, Universal City and Inglewood are not close to one another, so check the route before adding multiple events to the same day.
Event hours, RSVP availability, tiers and activities may change. Open the individual event page and follow the linked organizer account before travelling.
You can also save events to your KpopTracker favourites to keep your concert-week plans together.
